Not sure how to fix this, Im
pretty sure my wiring is right, but when Carbide Motion is doing the homing cycle, my up/down is fine, but going to the right, there’s a piece of the x/y assembly that makes contact with the y plate before the switch is fully depressed, makes a horrible noise and errors out. Any ideas how a noob can fix this?
First see if loosening the hardware and pulling it into a better alignment works. If not, check that you don’t have the X and Y axis homing switch plates mixed up. Or that the X-axis plate isn’t reversed.
The photos at: https://docs.carbide3d.com/shapeoko-faq/shapeoko-3-limit-switch-installation/ may help make this clearer

Yup, got it figured out, had to loosen and retighten a few screws, all good now.
Unfortunately I then found out my router wouldn’t handle small enough bits for detail work so I had to send off for some collet reducers.
Now I’m trying to find some single pass fonts that don’t chip out the middle of the capital a’s and r’s 
I’m enjoying myself immensely with all this stuff
I appreciate the help!
