Skipping stepper motor

in Proforge 3 3D Printing


It seems my right stepper motor is skipping. Using the makertech's defeat firmware. I might need to increase the current a little bit.

It was not the stepper motor current. (though it was set very low and I set it to 700mA for x and y). It seems to catch on something sometimes. Not sure what that something is yet but it grinds the head to a halt causing the terrible skip

It seems to be repeatable. It does the same skip every time.

It also does it now during UBL. Not sure what is going on here

Okay. looking back at the video it seems to be something else that is going wrong. I have no clue what is going on though. Does anyone have any suggestions??

I loosened the belt by quite a bit and now it seems to be working. I did discover a small barb in the top panel that causes a small glitch when it is laying down the first line. It collides with the carriage causing a small axes misalignment.

I should be able to fix that using some sanding paper.
