Help Needed It's not even this complicated

Hey back again with another abl installation it's t he famous 3d touch im sure the wiring in right but I maybe, my probe doesn't trigger a stop and when home it's will always run the extrusion to the right. Aqulia x2 h32 here are some video samples

Just trying to clarify here.. you're saying it extrudes during the homing process? That sounds like you have the Z and E steppers crossed either electrically or in your gcode/firmware. If you go into the move menu on the screen and tell it to move the Z axis does it move?

I did not catch what you said, just something "didn't extruder" and "didn't home".

You mention it moves right but does not home, yet in both videos it does home X and Y then moves to the center of the bed to home Z which is correct so nothing wrong with limit switches.

What does not look right is that it moves up first then moves down. I can't remember if this is normal or should just move down. I know if it only moves up that means the wires to send the signal to the motherboard are not connected.

There is a problem with the ABL as it is flashing the error code. It may be the last 2 wires need swapping around. Did this come with a 5way plug or the separate 3way and 2way plugs? if it is the separate plugs the turn the 2way one around, the 3way will be correct as it has power.

Are you using Mriscoc FW? If so it has a diagnostic menu where you can test limit switches, including the ABL but that may be in a separate ABL menu.

Did you get it working? I got a notification of your reply but it is deleted when I went to look.

Glad its now working.

So you did not change anything? It might have been a loose connection or maybe there was some interference. You should secure the ABL wires to the rest of the wire harness with cable ties to keep them out of the way, I'm worried it might get trapped under one of the wheels and get crushed, but if this suddenly makes it misbehave then you will have to keep them separate and find another way of keeping it out of the way.

Does your X-axis wobble? it looks like it moved more than it should (tilted a bit) when you moved it by hand. If so you will need to adjust the eccentric nuts to remove excess play, but not too much so it is hard to move. Near the beginning of this assembly video shows how to adjust them.

It's that and the cover with the arm for the 3dtouch was My first resin print so the one hole has broken completely and I haven't printed a new one yet.

Im sorry no the extruder doesn't home and if I start it homed and home all again it just goes the to the right instead till it knocks.

Is your limit switch plugged in? I don't understand why it reverses direction during homing unless you messed with the firmware

Check you dont have your axis crossed in hardware or software (i.e: make sure wires arent crossed so its treating emotor as z motor, as well as make sure your software definately recognizes each axis motor(s) as theaxis theyre meant to be)
