Hey Jacob, I have the same issue but the code doesn't appear when I click into the box? On a side note, when I look at my start/stop gcode this appears. I'm no expert or even proficient with coding but is this right? I am trying to add a start/end gcode to a print which was made in slice-up software. Any ideas?

Ok, appreciate it. I went ahead and ordered OEM from Ultimaker reseller in Ireland. Thanks again @gr5 for you help and assistance, much appreciated.

So, after removing the two rods from the sliding blocks and testing the rods through the head, there is no friction. I put a dab of lube on the rods after I reassembled it, just for extra glide and it runs fine, in both X and Y directions. Now, the stepper motor was still out when I tested it. Once I reattached the stepper motor, the friction is back in the X axis, so I think its the stepper motor that is the culprit. I will have to order a replacement. @gr5 should I purchase from Ultimaker or is there an alternative?

Hi gr5, Thanks for the reply and for the insight, you learn something new every day. I will take your advice and go through each of them to see if that alleviates the issue. Just on a side note, I put the stepper motor back in and tried moving the head again along the x axis. It still has the same issue but listening more closely, it seems to be coming from the head- to your point #4. I will take the head apart and investigate, hopefully it will lie in there! Again, appreciate the assistance

Hey Guys, I am currently having an issue with my UM2+ X axis printing. It is going on 4 years now with no issues until today! It started with a slight layer shift on the x axis while printing but has now turned into a "grinding" sound and more severe shifting.(see video). I went through all the steps to tighten the screws and making sure the stepper motors were pushed tight ensuring no slack on any of the belts. An error ER07 came up so I did a factory reset, which got rid of the error but didn't rectify the layer shifting. I noticed that when I push the print head in the Y axis, with printer off, its nice and smooth but in the X axis its hard to push and grinds when I do move it. I decided to open the stepper motor to see if anything stood out(not saying alot as I'm no engineer!), loose wires etc but cant see anything untoward. When I tried to turn the belt driver cog, its very stiff and sticks when turning clock/counter clock wise. Should it do that or turn freely? I haven't inspected the other one so don't have a comparison. do I need a new stepper motor or is it something simple I missed? I have attached some images and video of it misbehaving! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qLLRJeXU81ZTQ2QMAudr6ThuS-I36TPf?usp=sharing Cheers.

I'm using the Ziflex high temp flex plate and is great for bed adhesion. I used UHU sticks for awhile but had some failed prints but since getting the Ziflex, no issues. There is some texture to it, not as noticeable as the Prima plate but enough.
