Posted · Reverse X and Y axis in Cura

I've received Anet 3D printer with a couple demonstrational models (gcode), which are printed well.

I've installed Cura 3.6 and sliced a couple my own STL files, saved them in gcode. When launch it in the printer (over cd-card) the extruder and the table for lining-up move in opposite directions. Stop contacts located on the left and back of the printer, but the extruder moves on the right and the table moves upfront. 

How can I change the directional settings in Cura?

    Got the decision. Insert the code:

    M104 S200
    M105
    M109 S200
    M82 ;absolute extrusion mode
    G28:Home
    G1 Z15.0 F6000;Move the platfarm down 15mm;
    prime the extruder
    G92 E0
    G1 F200 E3
    G92 E0
    G92 E0
    G1 F1500 E-10
    ;LAYER_COUNT:1001

     

    in the beginning, instead of generated by Cura.

    That isn't the StartUp Gcode from the Anet A8 definition file.  There are some typos in it as well.

    The Creality Ender 5 is a "backwards" machine that has the 0,0,0 origin at the back right.  It doesn't affect anything but the users view while a model is printing.

    Before going into things that no one ever has to adjust, load a Benchy or calibration cube and set Cura up to slice.  Use the File | Save Project command to create a 3mf project file, then zip the file and post the zip folder here.

     

    When you "Auto-Home" the printer from the LCD where does the nozzle end up?

    When you load a model in Cura and its at the midpoint of the build plate - where does it print on the real build plate of the printer?
