# Troubleshooting

Troubleshoot common problems with your printer

## Printer homes in the wrong corner

<<<<<<< HEAD
Ensure your stepper motors are set up to rotate in the correct direction.
[\[Stepper\] - Configuration reference](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#stepper) (Klipper docs)

Ensure the endstop positions for all axes are set correctly.
See `position_endstop:` under your `[stepper]` configuration section.

## Prints are mirrored

You most likely have your motors set up wrong or mirrored. Make sure the physical motors match their counterpart configuration in your `printer.cfg` configuration file.

[Verify stepper motors - Configuration checks](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_checks.html#verify-stepper-motors) (Klipper docs)

## Printer won't home

Are the endstops connected? The stock VzBot uses mechanical endstops for homing.

Klipper Docs have more information on checking endstop status and/or configuring sensorless homing

* [Verify endstops - Configuration checks](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_checks.html#verify-endstops) (Klipper docs)
* [Sensorless homing - TMC drivers](https://www.klipper3d.org/TMC_Drivers.html?h=sensorless#sensorless-homing) (Klipper docs)

## Printer is losing position

This can sometimes be caused by lost steps due to excessive speed, acceleration or both.
Ensure your printer is not set up to use StealthChop. SpreadCycle is preferred, as it has better accuracy and less likelihood of losing steps.

* [Tuning motor current - TMC drivers](https://www.klipper3d.org/TMC_Drivers.html?h=sensorless#tuning-motor-current) (Klipper docs)
* [Setting "spreadCycle" vs "stealthChop" Mode - TMC drivers](https://www.klipper3d.org/TMC_Drivers.html?h=sensorless#setting-spreadcycle-vs-stealthchop-mode) (Klipper docs)

If using Wago's you run a +V line to the top Wago and a -V to the Bottom Wago. From there we can start distributing it to our 5160's.

![48V setup](../../assets/images/manual/vz235_printed/electronics/48V_Setup.jpg)

Plug in a Wire to the +V side of the wago and run it to your 5160. Put it in the Bottom slot like shown in the picture below.
Plug in a wire to the -V side of the Wago and run it to your 5160. Put it in the second slot of the 5160 like shown below.

Now do this for all your 5160's like you see down below. That's all the wiring you have to do for 48V.

![5160_48V_complete](../../assets/images/manual/vz235_printed/electronics/5160_48V_Complete.jpg)

One last IMPORTANT step to do is to link your 24V - to your 48V -. Like you see Below i used a piece of wire to connect my 24V Negative Wago to my 48V Negative Wago.
