X axis is difficult to move every 7-8cm
Hi, I just finished assembling my Mk3s+ and it failed the initial tests.
The problem should be the X axis, which is really difficult to move. It's not constant but it gets hard every 7-8cm in "waves".
Any suggestions about this issue?

I think it could be related to the bearings of the axis.
can you post a picture of the back of the extruder? (the side with the bearings).

Well, it was apparently the motor, not sure of which part tho.
I took off both the motor and the gear, and put it back on "just to see" and now it's perfectly smooth.
I have no idea why it wasn't working before, and I have no idea why it's working now.
Only theory is that the gear wasn't screwed in straight, but it has no room to move sideways so.
In ogni caso grazie per la risposta!

a volte la cinghia troppo tesa può dare problemi ai movimenti. Magari smontando e rimontando hai corretto questo aspetto 😉
buona stampa!
