Topic: Grinding After Adjusting Y-Axis Belts...
Hi all,
Looking for some more help. I was having troubles with my SD3 printing correctly shaped circles, I was getting oblong circles with flat spots and sharp edges. I leveled the bed numerous times, and still ran into the same problem. I took the suggestion of adjusting the Y-Axis Belt, and found that my front right mount for the belt had broken. I fixed the piece and it holds exactly as it should now.
However, I am now getting a grinding noise. I unloosened my belts and found that it hasn't helped. When I move my motor in the -Y direction (towards me) I will get some skipping, or grinding from the machine. When I move it to +Y (home) there is no noise at all.
I undid my tension in the belts, and still the noise occurred, but less frequent, and now my circles are back to being oblong again. I can't seem to win.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can remove this noise, and also get better looking circles?
