y axis making a loud sound
September 25, 2014 11:06PM
So I'm having an issue with my motors. The most noticable is my y-axis makes a loud sound while it moves longer distance while traveling. It also gets hot, and actually all my motors are getting warm but the y axis is defiantly the warmest. I am using a ramps 1.4 board with stepstick motor controls. My vref is already really low. I am going to turn it down and see how low it can go. The main thing I want to figure out is this loud sound coming from my y-axis. I have applied 3 in one oil and it doesn't make the sound while moving in pronterface. I only hear the loud noise while auto bedleveling and homing, using g29 and g28, even when the motors are cool. Both of these commands are in my custom gcode before I start printing.
