Hello! It sounds like there may be an issue with your printer's Z-axis. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the Z-axis coupling: Make sure the coupling connecting the Z-axis motor to the threaded rod or leadscrew is properly tightened. It should not be loose or slipping.

2. Lubricate the Z-axis rod: Apply a small amount of lubricant, such as lithium grease or sewing machine oil, to the threaded rod or leadscrew. This can help smooth out any friction or binding.

3. Check for any obstructions: Make sure there are no loose cables, debris, or foreign objects interfering with the movement of the Z-axis. Clear any obstructions you find.

4. Check motor connections: Ensure that all cables and connections related to the Z-axis motor are secure and properly connected.

If the issue persists, it may require further diagnosis or potentially replacing the Z-axis motor or components. It's best to consult your printer's user manual or reach out to the manufacturer's supp...

@timber shadow

[gentle oriole]

looks like something is blocking the z motors or there is too much resistance

[topaz yew]

i tried physicaly moving it and it does move by hand

so i cant find anythong jasmming it

[rotund bear]

That sounds more like motor not wired correctly. Brand new printer?

[topaz yew]

yep

[gentle oriole]

does the z axis move if you just auto home

[topaz yew]

nope

same sound

[rotund bear]

then try for fun on motor end and flip A- with B+

[topaz yew]

uhm

[rotund bear]

It might not have that many holes on the connector, but should be 2 outer and 2 inner

[topaz yew]

how?

[rotund bear]

Like this. Bend up flap a little, pull out plug,

[topaz yew]

Is this wrong

[rotund bear]

Had the same mad rumble when i swapped motors the other day

[gentle oriole]

oh my god I wish I knew that was a thing before

[rotund bear]

That's how it should be for most creality steppers, but test for fun if it still rumbles if you flip the 2 middle back. You can always move them back afterwards.

[rotund bear]

Hehe :P

[topaz yew]

Do you have anything else i can do before experimenting with the electronics

[rotund bear]

Nope. As that rumble sounds like classic "not wired right"

[topaz yew]

K

Should i do it for both

[rotund bear]

Nope, just for the 2 middle

[topaz yew]

I mean both motors

[rotund bear]

Does both rumble the same with no movement?

[topaz yew]

Yeah both couplers kinda go back and forth

[rotund bear]

Couplers?

[topaz yew]

Yeah i mean the motor movement

[rotund bear]

Oh, it's the Z that rumbles? Then yes, both Z's motors as you don't see one of the sides being forced down while the other doesn't

[topaz yew]

K one sec stay with me

I did one but one of the wires keep’s slightly popping out when i plug it

@rotund bear

Yep seems like it was the wires

Now one is fprcing the pther

[rotund bear]

Aye. Press down the flap as you insert it to keep crimp inside plug

You also don't want to bend flap up too hard to not make it stay up :P

[topaz yew]

@rotund bear still didnt work

It looks as of they are apposing each other

[rotund bear]

As in one moves up, the other goes down?
