X/Y motor not working properly after Z-homing

Posted · X/Y motor not working properly after Z-homing

Hi guys, I am having a problem:

I recently started working at a school with a dusty old UMO. Most functions seem to work properly, but I am having trouble with the motors.

When using Cura to move the X/Y, they are working just fine. But after I do a Z-home, they do not work and start producing electric noises.

The problems: the motors start missing steps. When moving by 100mm for example, they move for 1 second, pause for 1 second, and move for 1 second. This means it doesn't complete the 100mm movement. Also, it starts making noises like a capacitor overcharges and discharges, or something overheats, I am not sure.

Can anyone please help me? The UMO is quite old and rusty and I do not have much experience with it. Any help appreciated!

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
