Topic: Press Z-Axis Horrible Noises After Certain Point

Hi everyone, just unboxed my new Press and when I went to initially home all 3 axis's when the Z-Axis is raised (bed moves toward extruder) the Z-Axis starts violently slipping and making terrible *gear not being able to move* noises. The Z-Axis can move below this point, however when the bed gets to a certain point it cannot go any further... I've linked a video of said problem.
Thanks!

As this is my first time posting I cannot directly link any videos... I hope I'm not breaking the rules by doing this, but see no other way as to lead you to the video. This   watch?v=Zpgo86eKUdU&feature=youtu.be          comes after the final slash after youtube's url.

Looks like the Z lead Screw might be damaged or has something on the threads stopping it from rising all the way

Pull it apart and check that the manufacturer hasn't left a glove in the back there, like another forum member found in their printer. 
Check out the post by cptskippy in the following to access the z-axis:
