I’m having an issue where my Z axis belt slips as shown in the attached video. It typically happens when the spindle is raised to the top of the Z axis when running the homing sequence.
Today I had a similar issue but now lower on the Z axis, stopping the spindle from traveling up or down.
Some troubleshooting I’ve attempted:
- Checked the Z axis belt, no worn teeth and both gears for the belt appear in good condition/no wear
- Attempted to adjust the Z motor to insure the belt was tight
- adjusted the fly wheels on the Z gantry (where spindle moves up and down)
Was running the machine in fairly cold weather, in my garage but the door was open, if that might affect the performance. Or I’m thinking I need to replace the Z belt. Any advice would be appreciated.
