No i just switched the cables around on the mainboard the motors weren’t switched. I put the x endstop and motor cable in the y endstop and motor spot and vice versa.
Ok, so that means the motors are ok. Now I would do the switch but just the motors or just the end stops. See which one causes a change.
I think this is software as i said because when i switched them it still had the same issue. I think its something with the x motor controlling. Do you have skype or discord so we can talk
No, I don’t have those.
Get to the place where the Y motor now has the problem. Change the end stops and see if it changes anything.
If not then they are not the issue.
Change the X and Y back and forth to make sure the problem is recreated when you change them.
Have you actually swapped the entire X and Y cables? Take the X cable and move it completely to the Y positions on motor and board. Do the same for the Y cable. Put it in the X position. If changing the eniter cable does not make a difference but plugging X into Y does then the board or the driver on the board is the problem most likely.
If this printer is new you really need to contact the manufacturer for warranty.
I put the x cable in the y motor and it worked perfectly fine.
I switched just the motor cables, not the end stop cables. The x motor went until the endstop but didnt do anything because it was on the y motor. But the y motor which was on the x motor cable in that port on the board had the same issue that the x was having.
There isnt any issues with the endstop because it doesnt even get to the endstop. No matter if i use it on the x or y, it moves an inch or 2 away from the endstop and even when i hit it, it doesnt stop.
I think its a software issue. Im trying to work on reflashing the firmware.
I wish you maybe could get one so we can talk. Its easier to explan whats going on then to type it.
These things are generally not firmware but it may not hurt to redo it.
Sounds like the end stops are ruled out which is good.
Ok, so when the Y motor is plugged into the X cable and board port it has the issue, that’s good. Narrows it down. I forget if you completely replace the X cable. If not then do that. Not swap one end but replace the whole cable.
Also can you see on the board by the X or Y port if it has stepper drivers you can remove (you can google to see what it can look like)? If so then put the X motor and Y motor back to the way they should be and swap the stepper drivers and see if it changes. If not then the board is most likely the issue. If it does make a difference however then a new driver is needed. A lot of printers include a spare or two.
I think its something with the board. Ill update the firmware. If it doesnt help, ill try to get a new board.
I think everything else has pretty much been eliminated.
I think so too as only the x- axis port on the board has the issue.
Just reflashed firmware and same issue. Any other ideas?
