Printer won't print

I'm at a little bit of a loss here. The printer won't even print. I can't even get through a calibration. Printer runs fine for about 10% of it, then the motor starts clicking. I don't know enough about the system to diagnose this. Any help is appreciated.

Clicking usually means that movement is blocked and the motor is missing steps.  This can be a clogged or seized bearing, a displaced component or a worn guide.

I would bring forward the next maintenance session in case it's something simple:

- and if the problem persists isolate the problem and come back here - which motor is clicking?

Cheerio,

It was a calibration issue. An adjustment to the Z axis level seemed to do the trick. How do you delete a post?

Thank you for the input. I'll keep it in mind, but I want to try another test print before going further, atm.
