Something weird here, just found out my printer can act as a generator aswell.
No cables hooked up, moving a steppermotor lights up the ulticontroller display and thermo prints led's. Something wrong with the electronics, or/and can you damage them when moving the steppermotors by hand?
Hi
There's nothing wrong with your printer, that's normal. I blew a stepper driver once after I had been vigorously moving the hot end by hand. I'm fairly sure this caused it. So I don't move mine around by hand too quick anymore.
It's normal. I move my head around all the time but I also don't move it fast and now I will know to not do it too much - give the stepper driver a few seconds to cool down.
