Is this correct? Does it just move in and out but not left and right when it gets to this failure mode?
While it's doing this if you shove it in the X direction (left or right) does it move easily as though stepper is powered off (after moving in X, cut power and try moving in X direction with power off)?
Yes your exactly right with the no more X axis movements, thing is when I start a new print its works just fine for the first few layers.
I just tried a calibration cube with Cura's default standard settings and it failed again, while failing I could easily move the X axis back and forth, I powered off and moved the X axis again hitting a snag. I think my BLtouch was deployed (it does that test every time it powers on or off) and I bent it against the print (FML).
Do you think the BL is getting in the way? Or that may have just been impatience on my part because the second I switched the power off I started moving X.
