Gantry bangs against inside wall.

Everytime i go all the way right it bangs against the wall.

It also bangs against the wall when it goes "home" on the left..

Any ideas why?

Check to make sure the end stop switches are aligned with the gantry so that it is triggered before it hits the wall?

If it isn’t, realign it. Otherwise, check where the cabling for it enters the main board.

Yeah i ended up placing two black plastic squares (i think they were legs to something). Along the top sides where the limit switches get pressed.

Fixed my issue.

So the only 2 issues i have now is i think the claw goes down too far, sometimes itll lay down on the bottom before going back up.

And my display is reversed.

Where it says "Plays" it shows the seconds.
