The machine does not know where home is and is just moving. Unfortunatly XYZware and Da Vinci firmware gives you no way of testing or confirming their function. There is not even a status light to show if they are triggered or not. My guess is the Y axis is the one that is bad since X seems to move normal it just cant since Y never moved out. You could take the Z axis sensor and Y axis sensor out of their mounts and swap them. Just to narrow things down.

Could also be an issue with the Y axis motor or its wiring. Unlikely though since it's wites dont move like the X does.

When I power on, it doesn't move, but then when I do the calibrate, then it moves forward a little and tries to move left and runs into the metal. You hear the gears grind for a couple seconds and then it will try and calibrate. When it tries to calibrate, the head is to the left of the metal corners.

Position is determined by relative steps from home found at power up when the home sensors are tripped.

I just got a new extruder replacement and I am having the same problem. It thinks the bed is further over to the left. When it tries to calibrate, it hits the metal frame and then everything is off. I can figure out what is causing is to be messed up.

So thought I run a calibration. Big mistake now every time I switch on the Machine the printer head keeps hitting the frame at the back of the machine see pic. Plus now it seems to be resetting it selfhttp://soliforum.com/i/?uRQEh2n.jpg
