Re: Y-axis belt slipping

Your ears must have been burning wink AZERATE and I just had a conversation about your printer last night.  Seems as though his printer has developed a similar problem.  The good news is now you two can bounce ideas off one another.
Good to see you back.

Re: Y-axis belt slipping

I haven't been able to really diagnose it due to conflicting schedules.
However, I started having a X shift yesterday...every single print shifted about 4-9 times just on the first layer alone. After 15 minutes and a hunch, I found the problem to be the right X pulley. I took the screw out to look at the pully since I noticed a slight tilt, found a lot of black greasy powder at the bottom of the pulley that meets the carriage. I slapped on an M5 washer at the bottom, greased the top of said washer, then greased the screw. I was able to print for two hors successfully before hitting the hay.

This makes me wonder if it could just be as simple as greasing the screws, or a failing motor/driver in your case.

Re: Y-axis belt slipping

A failing driver is very easy to check on the sang right? Just swap two axes. I'd dive in and buy a new motor no question if I was having this problem. They aren't expensive ($25-$30).
