If your cutting foam there is a good chance it will static cling to the rails probably more on the x since its closer to the cutting foam will jam up the v wheels bad. You more than likely need to stand there with a shop vac if you do not have a dust shoe. I get a stiff bristle brush ( like for doing dishes) and brush off the x slide and v wheel s as much as you can . I have found the car detail kit for a shopvac works great.Unplug the controller and slide the x carriage back and forth slooow check for resistance as you brush off wheels and slide. Don’t force it if it does stop back it up and check the wheels an rails.
And as Phil said don’t skimp on the calibration.
Thanks for great Information I need to buy shop vac it is good tool for cleaning while cutting
Definitely it is jam X carriage V wheels. Now after cleaning I have back to work.
