Machine won’t initiate

Hi all, I’m having a problem with my 3xl. When I push initiate machine it will move up and down when move to the back but it will not move to the right and I get all kind of homing failure errors. Before it would initiate sometimes but now I can’t get it to initiate at all. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Take a look at these pages for homing failure errors. It’s a good document as a whole to bookmark. Troubleshooting Homing

Initialization starts with the Z going up to the homing switch. If that works then the gantry and X will move to the right rear corner and home X and Y. If the X does not move it can be mechanical or electrical. A mechanical check would be your X axis motor pulley and the v-wheels. The X axis motor has two set screws. One of them should be on the flat of the motor. The second problem could be electrical. So that could be a loose connection or the X homing switch is already showing it is homed when it is not. It eliminate the homing switch power on and connect but do not initialize. Go to Settings and Debug and see if anything is activated when it should not be. If every thing is good use a metal object like a wrench and place it in front of the 3 homing switches and see if they show they are activated.

So check out those things and if it is still now working come back or go to support for help. Support helps you even if not in warranty.
