Hi im new here and im new to 3d printing

So i build Prusa i3 all works Pronterface apart from y axis looks sleepy some times its refuces to move.

Have to keep restarting it to get it working when its start move it moves ok till it freezes again. DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Extruder extrudes ok when i press extrude so all works ok to point.

But when i press print all go funny its prints first outline then extruder stops spining y stops moving X moves forwards and backwards in same line but in Pronterface shows its printing ok witch not.

what can couse this?

Wiring is ok soldering is ok

Using ATX

End stops fine Homing fine

Possibly current to high to stepper driver and it is overheating.

Have you set the vref voltages on the stepper motors?
Have you calibrated the E steps for your extruder?
