Movement of the X or Y axis causes movement of the other axis.

After converting my MK4S to Core One, I had very good printing results until two days ago. From one print to the next, my Core One is no longer usable. First, I noticed that the purge line is no longer in the front right corner. Instead, it is offset diagonally to the left rear, about 1/4 of the way inside the sheet metal. The print then also starts too far back on the left.

When I move X or Y manually, I see that when Y moves to the stop, the extruder shifts a little in X and vice versa. I have now moved the axes by hand with the motors switched off. I noticed that the Y-axis is sticky in several places. There is a clearly noticeable resistance. I am not sure whether this is coming from the motors or the shaft/bearings. After a few movements, however, this disappeared and it is moving normally again.

However, the next print failed again.

It seems to me that this could be a common problem with Core-XY, but I don't know the term for it. Let alone the cause... I also can't remember reading anything about it here in the forum.

I would be very grateful to know where this behavior comes from and how to stop it.

Thank you very much!

Stefan

RE: Movement of the X or Y axis causes movement of the other axis.

Check:

Belt tension (belt loose, stretched due to excessive tension)?

Idler pulleys (sluggish, rubbing against the bracket)?

Motor pulleys (grub screws loose)?

Linear bearing (mine needed to be lubricated because it suddenly became stiff)?
