Printrbot Simple 1312 mirror issues

[MichiKen]

Hello,
I was given a Printrbot Simple 1312 (how old is this thing?)
was told it was working when it was replaced for a 3d printer with a bigger bed

First off I would like to thank those of you that put your time into this forum to help people like me.
It is a cold snowy morning here in Michigan. Good day to drink coffee and watch a 3d printer.

I am using an HP Zbook laptop
with Windows 7 Professional

I went to Printrbot and downloaded the current
Printrbot-Getting-Started-Folder.zip

I can connect to it with Cura 3.2.1,
I set the profile: Simple.Plus.GettingStarted.ini (i am wondering if this valid ini for my Simple 1312)

The first question is the why it is homing to the wrong corner?
(orientation printer bed facing me with motor power in back)
when I hit home the head moves to the front/right corner of the bed. It appears that it is flipped. When I hit the right arrow on the X the bed moves to the right. This is the opposite of what I've seen on setup videos bed should move to the left.

Second question
I am not seeing in Cura how to "print"
I have loaded the file: Spacer2 (1).stl from the getting started zip. Am I missing something? I thought I would see a print button or command. The videos said hit run, but not seeing that.

Again appreciate your help,
Ken

If it's a hand-me-down you can't assume everything is correct....even if someone told you it was working when they put it aside. In fact you already know that something is wrong.

Start with the basics. If the bed moves in the wrong direction on a given axis, flip the stepper motor connector over where it connects to the control board. Always make sure the power is disconnected when working on the electronics.
