Re: Z axis keeps locking up
thank you, i did loosen off all the screws on the brass couplings and i moved the rail down and loosened the z motors and tightened them back up again. I have run it all the way to the top and down again a few times with some lubrication and it seems ok now. I wont really know until I do a very big ...

Re: Smartto Motor Tool not reading all settings
So I updated to 1.38 luckily there were no issues 
Now the motor tool 1.2 is working except for travel acceleration
I made my changes and pressed Apply. Looks like values have been saved. Will print something soon to test !
new settings below.

Re: Smartto Motor Tool not reading all settings
Hi William unfortunately this did not help
It will not read the settings I want, so I am not confident to try and write my new settings. Is there another way to write the acceleration and jerk settings please ?

unfortunately only some of the fields are read in while others are still blank
I want to update the Jerk and Acceleration but the Tool does not work and M503 does not return anything either

Re: Z axis keeps locking up
This is a new printer so nothing is worn
Is there an easy way to check if the z rods are bent ?

Z axis keeps locking up

I press pause

Day 2 printer locks up again

Re: Z-Axis shift between left and right
After printing for 24hrs the right side is now about 3mm higher than the left. The printer was jammed on the same layer for ages until I paused it.

Re: Stepper driver voltages
I’m getting the same issues, I did add some grease which made it better but yeh the tops of the rods are shaking, especially the right one.
I am doing a 3 day print and after day 1 it’s like the z axis just got stuck and the printer kept going over the same layer over and over. I decided to pause ...

Re: I cant hear myself think - Loud Fans
Sorry William not sure what a driver board is... but sounds like overkill ?
I found another post who mentioned that they are 12v fans running at 24v which is why they are so loud
Solution is to add a resistor in series.
Will give it a go
