Dead Stepper Driver
Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2014 1:18 am
So, I came home today and noticed that the print I had running had gone italian. It was very confusing, because when I inspected the print, which was 6 separate pieces, 2 of them had spaghetti, and one looked like the nozzle had dive bombed into it, while 3 were fine. I was quite confused. So when I started my printer up again, and homed it, I hear what sounds like a stalled motor and the z-tower not moving. Oh. Shit. I check the belts, everything is fine, and I pull the belt off that tower, home again, still hearing a stalled motor. So I pull the LCD panel and switch the y and z tower. Now it's the y tower making the noise. Shit. So, it appears I have a fucked up stepper driver. So, is there anything you guys recommend I try before I send the board back?
