My Z axis stepper motor has failed and I cannot locate anyone listing a replacement.
Anyone know where I can purchase one?
Are you sure it’s the motor?
Have you tried to swap the driver chip with another one to see if the problem moves?
Also check the screws for the coupler to see if they are tight?
First thing I did was to swap the driver boards and the problem did not move.
I’ve now removed the motor to check the coupler was solid and that there’s now tight spots or play in the Z axis movement.
All seems good! I’ll try running it with the motor removed just to be sure,
If you have the motor for the Z axis removed there is no way to run the printer.
well physically removed but electrically connected. I’ll not attempt a print of course just to check if its possible to move the z axis motor from the local control.
