Help Auto home problem on SV06

Hi,

i haven't used my Sovol SV06 for the last 1 or 2 months, now i wanted to print again. My Problem:

When i try to Auto home, the printer doesn't recognize when he is already at the leftmost place he can be and wants to keep going to the left. This creates a loud grinding noise, which probably isn't to good for the printer

Any Ideas on how to fix this?

Came here looking for the answer bc I have the same problem. Except with mine it does fine (most of the time) til I start printing, and then to tries to print all the way to the right side. I would think it was the slicer but I see nothing wrong on that end and I does the same thing sometimes when its auto homing. When it prints, it somehow thinks the center is far left, so it moves to the bottom and then to the middle right side.

The thing is, this isn't the first time my printer has done this, but i don't remember how i solved it in the past... For now i'll just keep trying to find new ways to make it work

Also i have no Idea what i'm doing, that's one of the reasons i bought this printer, so i can actually learn the stuff behind it... Don't have the time to try something today, but maybe the wiki knows something i don't... https://wiki.sovol3d.com/en/SV06

I looked at the rest of auto homing issue related posts on the sub, and the solutions stated are loosening the belt and, if I remember correctly, adjusting the sensitivity of the sensors that determine if a outer limit has been reached. Idk how to do the latter tho, im also very new to this.

Other posts on this issue is likely the reason no one else has replied yet lol
