Motor screech
Hi all,
I have just finished building a v1 420 kit...all went well, software installed ok and started to jog the machine
in each axis. The z and y went well but the x moved ok to the edge, stopped and now wont move. all I get is a screeching noise from the machine.
Any ideas what I need to do?
Thanks,
M
It sounds like that the leadscrew isn´t proper adjusted...

Mechanical tuning required.
power down and check all axes move freely

move the axes by hand and feel what happens. by moving by hand you are the motor 🙂
I'm in the same position. Z and Y jog freely (except for a strange rattle at one specific point on the Y axis) but the X axis is jamming at the motor end unless the extrusion is loosened from the gantry uprights. Silly me, I thought the very last stages would be easy.
I also found that my T slot bed jammed with maybe 2" to fully home. A frustrating day of mechanical tuning and trying to get the bed fully inserted ahead I think 🙁
