X and Y Stepper Motor issue?
Hello brains trust.
I have just finished upgrading my V Core 3.1 to a toolhead setup - also changing out my Orbiter to a Rapido setup and installed the Orbiter filament detection.
There was no wiring changes at all for the stepper motors and the printer was functioning well prior tot he upgrade. I printed off the PET CF components for the toolhead V1 prior to the upgrade.
I have had an amount of issues, but getting them sorted bit by bit.
One that I ahve yet to fix is the movement now of the X/Y motors, causing a lot of vibration and carry on with the printhead. I thought maybe I have tightened the belts too much, so I loosened them and also checked all bearings etc (pulling the corners down, checked for smooth rolling and cleaned them all up - then re-built the corners). I am comfortable with that part and have done it a number of times when I upgraded bearings and belts some time ago.
I am lost as to what to look for. Assuming if it was a programming issue, it would also be an issue on the Z Axis, but the bed moves up and down OK.
Added a quick video to show the issue. I initially move the head around to show it moves without impedement or nothing at all. Nice and free moving. However, under control from RatOS for movement, it has the recorded issue.
The fan comes on right at the end as I hit the emergency stop to prevent any further possible damage.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
