Y Axis not operating

[sketch42]

Ok, you really want to avoid moving the Axis by hand and causing the LEDs to turn on… that is sending power back to the board. If you have to move the axis by hand, then do it slowly.

I think you may just need a bit more power going to your stepper motors…

[Solved] Cutting wrong, loosing position

here is what helped me: just slightly adjust the Y potentiometer by turning it clockwise by a small amount until the Y-axis moves smoothly at rapid speeds (link when moving a long distance while Z is retracted on a large job) Do not over-torque these pots - they are tiny and gentle and will break. The pots have 270 degrees of rotation. See here for more detail: [image] Edit: The pots are usually set at 50% and I just had to tweak mine to maybe 60%

Note: you can have it set too low and you can have it set too high… click the little right arrow up there ^ and be sure to read the rest of the post and follow the links given.
