Topic: X axis won't home after updating Marlin

Hi everyone,
I own a FolgerTech Prusa i3 2020, and it's worked great with the mods I've made. I decided to update the Marlin Firmware on the printer, because the firmware they supply is kind of glitchy for me. I updated to the newest Marlin 1.1.0-RC7, but now my X axis won't home. All other axis will, but X won't and will switch between '?' and 'X' on the display. Everything else works on the machine, it just will not home X.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Re: X axis won't home after updating Marlin

OoooH fun a can of WORMS.
I too have built the FT I3 2020 other than getting the end stops set up the firmware is not horible I did end up mounting the x stop on the right side of the printer so i could set it as a min .
just setting the x to home should be Fairly easy.
IMHO likely something different in the firmware . You can certainly read over the firmware settings and tweak as needed. It may be easier to go into FH and change your printer settings to adjust to the new firmware and match your slicer settings to printer settings.

It won't help you now, but next time you should save your configuration.h file. That file only contains printer settings specific to your printer and updates to the firmware will not change those for the most part. If nothing else use the copy as a reference to change the settings in the new version before flashing.

I would suggest going to Folgers website and getting the original version unless you have it. Look at the configuration.h file in the original and set the new version to the same and reflash.
