Topic: What did I do wrong?

Ok guys I replaced all of my carriages for the ones lawsy made, and everything went back together pretty well.... but.... my X axis is moving in the wrong direction. What did I do wrong LOL. can I just swap some wires?

I think I heard somewhere that the steppers plugs are upside down?  I don't know. To reverse a stepper just flip two of the wires.  1&2 or 3&4

You should be able to flip a plug on any of the steppers to invert the direction without having to touch firmware.
