			<description><![CDATA[<p>Not at my SD; but I think the motor for the X axis is a NEMA 14 Stepper Motor.&nbsp; They are available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.inventables.com/technologies/stepper-motor-nema-14">https://www.inventables.com/technologie … or-nema-14</a></p><p>or:</p><p><a href="http://www.solidoodle.com/parts/parts-SD3/parts-xmotor">http://www.solidoodle.com/parts/parts-SD3/parts-xmotor</a></p><p>Inventables generally ships same day...</p><p>Regarding your control board, make sure to power off completely before unplugging and plugging in stepper motor wiring.&nbsp; This could easily fry the drivers...</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Well it finally happened... I have been running my printer for 2<br />months with no real issues... and now that I have a printing job<br />that NEEDS to mail tomorrow to make a deadline, it decided to flop on me...</p><p>I am having all kinds of issues with the X-axis... so a description and what<br />I have tried....</p><p><strong>Description:</strong></p><p>Earlier tonight I was printing the last 4 parts of a major project I need to ship...<br />and the X-axis started acting up... buzzing and sounding like it was bound up... not moving correctly.</p><p><strong>Troubleshooting</strong></p><p>1.&nbsp; I tried switching the X and y axis plugs to try and manually move the axis to see if it<br />was just the wiring/motor vs an issue with the board.&nbsp; With the Y plugged into X it seemed<br />to work ok....</p><p>So.... I assumed wiring or the motor... after checking for continuity... I found that I had it on red/blue<br />but nothing on black/green.... So I started at the motor looking at the wires and found that it was broken<br />completely VERY near the motor, so I attempted to try and resolder and repair it....</p><p>After plugging it back in... same issue....</p><p>I know that the motor is going to need replacing...&nbsp; that break (even if I can fix it) is going to be<br />trouble later on....</p><p>But I went back and tried Y on the X axis... and it acts like the grinding crap too now...<br />put it back on the Y and it acts fine... could I have in all my printing and troubleshooting<br />have screwed my board or something????</p><p>Ugh... brain is toast... help me out...</p><p>Who is recommended for stepper motors for SD3 beside SD?</p><p>Let me know so I can order that and do some more trouble shooting....</p><p>And it wasn&#039;t a belt issue... those were just fine... and it did not seem to be a rod issue<br />as the carriage slid fine when motor was disabled... </p><p>I know this is something easy... but I can&#039;t figure it out....</p><p>Matt</p>]]></description>
