Makerbot 2: X-Axis Slipping Problem
George and I fired up the 3d printer, Makerbot 2, for the first time Tuesday after its summer of rest and it was acting a bit funny. The head would move in the Y, Z and –X direction just fine, but in the +X direction it would start to stutter and make fighting sound.
This is what we saw . . .
Being the Googler that I am, I hit the web and first result answered our question.
We pulled out the ribbon cable as mention in the video and the problem got worse . . .
Then George pushed it together around the kinked area and it has worked fine since. Granted the cable is still hanging outside of the case, it is a temporarily fix until with get the new cable. But it confirmed that it was a bad cable.
