limited travel on x axis

tonight I started to experience limited travel and very loud noise and vibration when moving along the x axis everything travels freely when power is off. can I safely lube the x axis rods and what should I use?

 

I'm confused, are you seeing it crashing? on my printer the max was set to like 225 or so but in reality mine crashed at 120. I set my x max to 119 and had no issues since

 

not crashing. it seems like everything is binding as things move from side to side

 

When it's unpowered you're able to move it freely from side to side, but when you try and move it it doesn't move? Does it sound like the belt is skipping? How tight is your belt?

 

I think the belt tension is fine. it didn't look like the pulley was turning when I pressed the x postioning commands. I took the belt off and the pulley still doesn't turn. i'm thinking the motor is bad

 

Check your set screws on the pulley as well. Though it's certainly possible you have a bad motor.

 

took the belt off, motor still won't spin under power. really annoyed that out went out so quickly. very surprised that robo doesn't have any replacement or upgrade parts available. going to go motor shopping

 

just message them they'll send you one for free.
