Topic: Xyz Colour Y axis layer shift

Hi Guys,

I have a new XYZ Colour it's done so far 250hrs I have always had trouble on long colour prints when the head goes and wipes the ink the Y axis will layer shift. I have added tension springs on the belt, and replaced the Y axis belt and still the same.

It is fine on non colour prints it's only when it cleans the ink every hour or so???

I am stumped.

Thanks Ryan

Re: Xyz Colour Y axis layer shift

check the stepper motor wires on the y and x, XYZ is notorious for motor wire failure due to routing. some of the wires may have broken inside the insulation.... My x motor wire was bad.  If you don't have spare stepper motor wires get a set of 5 1meter 4pin to 6pin stepper motor wires on amazon for 10 to 15 dollars.
