    looks to me like you have a huge mess of wires you need to address but I'm guessing (guessing) that you have your y motor wire backwards.

    elaborating because I hit send to soon:

    Your y motor should be going home, something is wrong there as it keeps running itself like its backwards from what it should be. (that is not center it looks to be all the way against the middle plate)

    The x axis is slamming into the x home switch (not good) and likely the cause of why its slamming into the other side (or you have something wierd going on in your firmware).

    What firmware did you reload? Did you clear eeprom.


    Which rev R1 do you have?


    edit 2x: Your belt sounds extreemly loose like its skipping teeth.

    That's what I thought I then switched the wire for y around and it was going the opposite way than the end stop. I do have a skype appointment tomorrow maybe they can help

    I have not cleared the eeprom. How should I go by doing that. I have reuploaded firmware to the arduino many times without clearing anything. And I have put a belt tightener on the x axis belt so I'm sure it's not loose. And I'm using The latest firmware and have the r1+

    Would you please copy and paste the firmware you are using here (something that sounds like a belt skipping teeth is skipping when X moves or at least it sounds like it) Maybe it is the Y moving but it doesn't appear like it (and shouldn't be when the x is traveling)

    ==== EEPROM GCodes ====

    M500 Store current settings in EEPROM for the next startup or M501.
    M501 Read all parameters from EEPROM. (Or, undo changes.)
    M502 Reset current settings to defaults, as set in Configurations.h. (Follow with M500 to reset the EEPROM too.)
    So after firmware is fixed you need the M502 and an M500 at some point for them to work.

    Ok so it works and what I did was I did m502 in the console. And then I just thought I plugged a wire in incorrectly when I put the old r1+ board in. So I took everything apart and put it back together and it works. So maybe I plugged a wire in incorrectly making the end stops not work properly
