now i cant move x axis by hand
More info would be helpful so we can help.
started job correctly then just kept cutting in same spot over letters i stopped job and now cant move x axis by hand nor by initionalizeing machine
Possible reasons for an axis not moving:
- broken/damaged belt — inspect and replace
- loose pulley or coupler — verify that it is secure and if need be, add a witness mark
- too tight/locked Delrin V-wheel — verify that they are all properly adjusted and rotate freely as the carriage moves
- linear block/rail needs lubrication/maintenance/cleaning — see: CNC Machine Maintenance
- mechanical interference of some kind — check that nothing is mechanically blocking things
- wiring issue — make sure that all wiring and connectors are in good condition and secure — ensure that the connectors are secured so that they will not move as the drag chain flexes and that the wiring leading into/away from them will not shift
- wrong Grbl settings — make sure that the settings for steps/mm and acceleration and so forth are correct and suited to your motion system
- blown stepper driver — replace the controller
