Hello, I bought the Ender 3 as my first Printer and this is my first time using but i havent managed to get it to work yet

Auto Homing works perfectly, but whenever i put it to print the file that comes with the machine it goes forward to the area i circled starting to print what seems to be the right side of the model, then it makes a weird noise trying to go to the left continuously, even though that’s already all the way to the left.

It sounds like you may need to check your bed leveling and make sure that the bed is properly aligned. The noise you are hearing may be the printer attempting to move the print head to a position that is beyond the actual range of the printer.

Start by checking if the bed is leveled properly, make sure that all four corners of the bed are approximately the same height. If the bed is not level, then try adjusting the screws until it is. After that, double-check the printer axis alignment and check if the belt is tight enough. Make sure that the extruder is not hitting the bed or any other object during printing.

If none of this helps, then there may be a problem with the software or the G-code file. Try using a different slicer or downloading another G-code file to rule out the software issue. You can also try updating firmware or resetting the printer to its factory settings.
