Hello,

I am a Rookie in 3d-printing.
Just bought a Geeetech i3 prusa pro C, dual extruders...
Z-axis, X-axis works perfectly, but Y-axis wont move correctly after homing.
Homing works good.
After homing it is struggling.
Tried to oil the 8mm rods, losen them...
Losen the M10 rods, losen the table.
Tried another firmware (Marlin-PI3_Pro_C) GTM 1.0.5., uploaded perfectly...
But no improvement...

I put the timing belt off the motor, then homed again that was smooth, but movement it was still struglling...

Can anyone help me :) ??
Thnx!

Unsing the: Repieter V1.6.0

Hello,
There is a possibility your stepper motor drivers are not setup correctly, to confirm this, power down your printer , then swap your Y axis stepper driver with the extruder one, now do a small print. If you find your extruder clicking then this confirms the issue.
To correctly calibrate your stepper drivers view this video

dont forget to swap them back before you calibrate the Amperage variable resistor.
