z axis won't go up - SOLVED

[warrenmiller 0]

hi all, ran into a problem this morning - my z axis (build plate) won't go up, only down - it just makes a ticking noise when try Prepare->Move Axis->Z or Auto Home

any ideas?

thanks!

What printer? A bit of debris stuck in the leadscrew thread?

hi - it's an original. I forgot to say i can rotate the z axis freely and easily by hand when it's off.

thanks!
