Z-axis not moving
Hi,
After I haven't used my MK3 for about 6 months, I just wanted to do some printing but found out that both Z-axes aren't working.
When trying to move the Z-axis, via the menu, I can hear a humming sound from both motors, but nothing is moving. Also I can't turn the Z-axis by hand (I don't know if that was possible before).
Both X and Y axis are working fine, I'm able to move them via the menu and by hand.
I hope someone can help me to troubleshoot this...?
RE: Z-axis not moving
Both motors were stuck. Support helped me to solve the problem. Both motors must be able to be moved by hand when the power is turned off. With the cone cap and trapezoidal nut loosened, I had to use pliers to get some movement. Moved them back and forth a few times and now it works fine again. Still curious how to avoid this problem.
