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.

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 !

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 ?

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 ?

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 ...

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
