Re: Dual Stepper Drivers on Z axis

Re: Part cooling blower fan

Thanks, I have tried updating the firmware but it didn't help. However, I have also been able to test a couple of other fans, including a big 120mm and these are working fine so must be an issue with the blower design. I also tested the blower on an Arduino (http://www.themakersworkbench.com/conten...

Ok that's good news... Sometimes the Z-Axis is hard to move for the motors because the x-axis is tilted slightly. This makes movement for the motors nearly impossible and should result in a strange noise. Can you try to turn the threaded rod of the z axis by hand and get both sides of the x-axis rou...
