Partial Answer y axis not moving

Hey guys I just moved and I got my printer back out to print and everything seemed to be working great and it did for a day or two. All of the sudden my printer bed won't move back and if it'd printing I would heat clicking and then it would be printing way off the object.

 

Is the belt tight? Does it home properly? Can you move it manually?

 

The belt feels tight to me. I can't home properly because when the bed starts to move toward me it just clicks and is loud buy the bed won't move forward. And the bed is easier to move back buy it has resistance when I pull it toward me

 

Moving towards you indicates that the cable is plugged in backwards. Did you do anything with the wiring?

 

The bed can move towards me when it's off but it takes more force and I haven't done any modifications to the printer. The only cords I've touched are the power cord and USB hook up

 

Could be a bad bearing. Submit a replacement part request.

 

How can I find the bearing?

 

It's inside the pillow block under the bed. Also double check that nothing is physically blocking the bed from moving.

Is it difficult to get to? I've never been able to take the bed off the printer

 

It's a bit of work to get to.

The bed just lifts straight up and is held on by magnets


I'd start by working with robo3d to see if they agree with my assessment.

 

Ok I'll get in contact and I'll report back here thanks

 

Ok so I took the printer apart some I got the bed belt off and the two bearings that they wrap around. The bed seemed to still have the same pull without the belt hooked up to the bed. I think it's the two rails underneath the bed but the screws won't come up. I put a little lube on the rails and started sliding the bed back and forth and my printer seems to be working now it just seems like a temporary fix

 

Hmm I'm going to take a look and I'll get back

 

Inspect the rods, make sure there are not big scratches on them, that cause my bearings to fail.

 

I haven't printed much with this printer. I think the robo 3d is garbage I appreciate everyone's help but I sold it!
