Help for a newbie

Hello
Happy Father’s Day to all who it applies to
I just started using my xxl yesterday
All creations on create look fine but then when I make them they are mirro imaged. I tried to use the flip image in create but that did nothing. Tried searching the forum but I only became more confused

Thanks in advance

Are they mirror imaged side-to-side or top-to-bottom?

I’m guessing top-to-bottom (and that this also results in jogging being reversed).

Power down and swap the Y-axis connectors if this is the case.

Did you print out the Shapeoko sign as your first step? It tells up (other users) if you put the machine together correctly and if the machine is operating correctly?

That is at:

Ideally it would use the center of the paper to make this sort of thing easier.

Well, I guess I know what I’m going to be doing today.

Yes thanks Will and Rich
I did not do the hello world but jumped into wood. You were right swapping the wires worked
