Configure new Hybrid 3.1
I powered up the v3 for the first time and made it to the homing checks. It homed to the back but went the wrong way to home the X axis. I have it configured as hybrid but everything I've read says to get it working without the hybrid belts first. Do I need to change the configuration to coreXY first then change it to Hybrid after I make it to that point? I was thinking that would undo any changes I have to make to get it working.

It was a rookie mistake. I am using a different leadscrew guide then you and thought that it mounted to the top side of the extrusion instead of the bottom. I cut the leadscrew down and moved the bracket to the bottom and it is homing normal now.

Pretty sure you can go hybrid off the bat. You just need to edit the printer.cfg to flip the direction for X
It best to go corexy first and get the belts right without the hybrid belts on or the motors,just use the vc4 setup instructions for hybrid and the like.
Sorry, that's what I meant. Configure for hybrid, but leave the belts off
Don't need to configure as corexy then redo the configuration all over while adding belts
ahh ok, I've been looking for the command to drive the head to the left instead of the right but haven't found it. The homing.cfg doesn't offer any clues that I can see.
Right but can I do this using the Hybrid config (without the Y hybrid belts being installed) or do I have to set the config to the core XY?
Hybrid config
look around line 55 of your printer.cfg
#---------------------------------------------------- X1 ----------------------------------------------------
The B axis motor for the toolhead, located at the rear right of the printer
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[stepper_x1]
dir_pin: !PF10 # Add ! in front of pin name to reverse the direction of stepper_x1
rotation_distance: 40 # 40 for 20 tooth 2GT pulleys, 32 for 16 tooth 2GT pulleys
see, now you know how to reverse the direction of a motor
yea but changing that breaks the y homing
I've tried each combination
one of the combinations should work
This has helped others, may it help you as well

I would have thought so as well but each change created a new issue. none if which reveresed the x homing diretion
You may have to swap some connectors
I have seen that and checked the wiring again to the xy motors and looked good thats why I thought the whole hybrid config was changing things but don't know how to adjust for it. I'll try swapping those xy connectors for fun and see what changes.
I did finally get it to home Thank You. Next up. I have homed a couple of times with different results. One time it works like it should except it drives the tool head too far to the right. I tried using the SET_CENTER_KINEMATIC_POSITION with the toolhead visually close to center and same with the z. I homed and it moved the gantry towards the y endstop but the tool head is so large that it hits the middle leadscrew bracket before it can reach the y endstop.
Is the end stop able to be adjusted to stick further out?
I have it all the way out
Or home not from x-center maybe. Take a pic?
If I have the toolhead to left of center it works because it clears the center leadscrew but if it is center or right of center it hits it
That may be as designed. I've got a 3.1, I'll take a look when I can get to it
Can go all the way back even if centered
ahh I see the error of my ways.
I am curious what you have found

I'm working my way through the config steps and it has me check the x y and z offsets for the probe. This seems a little out of order. I don't see that it tells me to adjust the levelness of the plate? Is this a auto process that it does some how?
correct, the plate is leveled with the z-probe and a z-tilt procedure each print
you'll get it clos-ish by eye, then it can handle the rest
Awesome thanks again for your help and info. Hopefully tomorrow I will get to see this thing print for the first time.
