Recreator 3D : Info Boost - Motors Direction of the MK3, MK5, and MK6 Spoolers arent 100% crucial, most have shown that even the “wrong” direction tends to work. However, the Recreator MK3, MK5, and MK6 were all intended to spin clockwise. You’ll further see this by the direction of the words on the main spooler gear.
If your spooler isn’t turning in the “proper” direction, then you can do several things to make the change.
Option One: Change the Polarity of the motor through reversing the wires. With a small pointed tool, undo the pins on the sides of the connector and reverse them. Then, do the same for the two pins in the middle. This should change the direction of the motor.
Option Two: Change the gCode command. Open up the speed.g code with notepad, change this line throughout and make sure to “save”.
Option Three: If you are proficient enough to change your firmware, you already know it can be done here. Option One is suggested if you are mechanically able.
Option Two is suggested if you rather change code then reverse wires.
