Topic: Y-Axis Movement VERY difficult
I just recieved my Solidoodle and have not been able to print anything. The problem is Y-Axis movement makes a stuttering noise and does not move about 80% of the time on 10mm moves. (On 100mm moves, it seems to operate normally). I took the belt off the Y-Axis stepper. Pushing the carriage back and forth in the Y direction is quite difficult. With no stepper attached, it should move freely. The rods are greased and freshly oiled (with plastic compatible oil) Should my next step be to remove the Y belts from the carriage and try movement?
Looking for suggestions.
