Another Unsuccessful Y-Axis calibration solved
After completing the build of my Core One over the weekend, I got jammed up on a failing Y-Axis calibration. Despite the videos that are out there, none seemed to convey what the Y-Axis calibration job should look like in terms of the intended motion. I'd start the job and the gantry would bang into the stops a few times, and nextruder would wiggle around near the right front corner, and this would repeat a couple of time and then the machine would restart with the orange screen of death. It wasn't until I started questioning myself on whether I'd somehow plugged the x and y axis motors into the wrong ports that I finally stumbled onto the solution!
When I opened up the xBuddyboard cover and reached in to check the tag on the x-axis motor, it just fell away from the connector on the board! Apparently, when I was wrapping up the cable management (pun intended) I'd unplugged that connector to reroute it, and then failed to securely plug it back it. 🤦♂️
So hopefully this helps someone!
