    I printed a project and the last 10% actually had text. The text printed backwards. I noticed on repetier that it showed it was correct but still printed backwards. Is this a software or firmware issue or are there a couple wire wrong? Any thoughts or way to fix it?

    Can you attach the STL of your print?

    Did you rotate the part on the Object Placement tab?

    I second what Matt said. I'd really like to see the gcode.

    Ok I don't think it is the gcode. I went back trough the initial set up and when the home all button the printer does not travels to the bottom right corner instead of the front left corner. Firmware issue or is something wired wrong? The setup guide says to check this but doesn't say how to correct it, if its wrong.

    tesseract was able to walk me through the issue. It was a wiring problem.
    Thanks
