X-axis moving only once

As per title, when in tools->Move->X+ the motor activates only once. Any other X+ or X- command gives no feedback.

I need to power off and on again to move x-axis again, but ofc only once.

I suppose cable connection is ok or it would not move at all. Proforge 2s (if it makes any difference).


Thanks for help

try restarting the printer. then before trying too move anything. got to Tools/Home. then press ALL. this should move the carriage to both ends tops then back out to center where it will raise and lower allowing the sensor to find the build plate. after that you should be able to use the move functions.

Thanks for your contribution. I've just tried but no, after homing all, x-axis still does not move while y and z do.

@Matteo Gennari

I think that the motar should not be moved with my hand after I press the home button.

Y and Z moter do like that but X moter can be moved with my hand after homing.

Are you, too?


If it is like so, I suppose that the moter is broken, or the program is wrong...

I try to exchange X stepping driver and Y stepping driver, Y axis does not move except only once.


From the above reason, I guess that my stepper driver is wrong.

@Ozu S Check your stepper drivers trimpot setting from the wiring stage of the build manual.

I check that and it is right.


Now I use spared A4988 instead of TMC2100.

It works good.

If the axis has binding and hard to move, it can cause over current and that axis will shutdown. Power cycling printer clears this quickly

That's sure, but it should happen also when the axis is homing.

@Matteo Gennari I had binding at far end of bed, X0,Y200 corner, never showed up during homing which is at X300 Y200
