v-minion x axis grinding/slipping
Hey everyone. I recently purchased the V-minion on the pre Black Friday special and have been enjoying using the printer till today. Today when I wanted to start printing something, during the bed mesh I noticed that the belt had slipped and the toolhead was bashing against the stop end. Easy fix right? Tighten the belts. So I did and it didn’t help. I’ve now removed the motor on the x axis to check that the pulley was secure, taken the toolhead off of the linear rail block to check the block and rail and I’ve tightened every screw I can find till it almost split plastic. I put it all back together and things were fine for a few hours. 65% into my 5 hour print and things start going back to before. As it stands now, I can’t home the printer. I attached two video clips showing the movement with both a loose belt and a tight belt. I’m not really sure what else to check. The printer isn’t even 2 months old so I can’t think it’s a hardware issue, but this is always possible. Anyone have ideas as to what the issue is?
