Hi Everyone,
I am trying to complete the build of the Ultimaker Original and am running into the issue of the printer head not moving along the Y-Axis at all. On the X-Axis, the movement is pretty smooth, as you can see in the videos below in both off-mode (printer head moved by my hand) and the on-mode (the printer moving the x-axis). However, on the Y-Axis, it doesn't even sound like the motor is trying to make any movement or sounds.
I've checked the short belt tension by the Y-motor and the wire connection on the bottom of the printer. I have also aligned all axes to ensure that everything is squared correctly. I suspected that the Y-motor could be the one giving me trouble, and switched the X and Y motors but even with it switched, the noise (hand movement) and non-movement (when printer is on) always happens on the Y-axis.
Please help if you may know the solution! Thank you in advance!
