    I noticed that on some larger prints, the heat bed end stops wouldn't work. I kept hearing a buzzing sound from the motor trying to move the bed. I haven't used my printer since because I dont want to mess it up. i checked all the wires and everything looks good.

    It is most likely something (like the ribbon cable) stopping it from travelling all the way to the endstop.

    Lift the bed plate, move the Y back and forth. Find the offending cable and relocate it out of the way.

    I used zipties and ziptie anchors to make sure mine stayed out of the way.
