    Hey all,

    My bed Y- axis is not working. the + direction works with no issue. It glides smooth with no issue. I just replaced the bed and i didn't see any issues while in there.

    Advice?

    Also, if i need to replace the motor.. Which one, and is there a 'how to' vid?

    Update 1:
    And now it's working.... -_-

    Do you guys have troll protocols built in to the firmware?

    Heh, oh well. I have a feeling this means it is going out. I'll close this out once i get those links and any other 'reasoning' why this may be happening.

    Update 2:
    I have started to hear grinding, stopped the print and tested every access to see if i can duplicate the grind manually and i couldn't. It seems to only fail or grind during print.

    Update 3:

    This keeps happening to all my calibration prints. Seems ok until it get so high.

    Update 4:

    Im starting to think its one or both of my lift motors, i tried a square calibration print and you can tell it is squished, as if it started to stop rising incrementally.

    Make sure the fan on the bottom of your printer is running and lift up the printer on blocks or something until you can print some lifter feet.
