I bought the i3X on the 30th of march 2018, now not even a year later the Stepper motor of the right hand Z-axis is loosing a significant amount of steps, an issue which seems to get progressively worse. I have tried switching around the connectors on the board since they run parallel off the same driver. That did no help. So I am not quite sure if its the, in my opinion, slightly sketchy system of running 2 steppers off 1 driver or if if the actual stepper is faulty. Any help is appreciated

Hi


Most of the problems with moving the Z-axis mechanism are due to its complex design.
Everything must be very carefully built and checked.

I do not know what you have already done to check the correct work because you have not written anything.
I understand that you are not a novice.

This forum contains a lot of tips and solved problems, the subject of which is the proper functioning of this mechanism.

It is worth checking other sections as well.

The problem is not mechanical, so it must be electrical, the X-axis can movo freely when balanced but when I let the motors move the Z-axis the right hand one, simply put, doesnt move as much as its supposed to. That creates an imbalance and gets the X-axis stuck. At first I though the G-code was the problem but the same thing happens when I just move the Z-axis via the printer menu and when not loaded with the weight of the X-axis.
Unfortunately I could not find any answers in the forum and I do not have the equipment to propperly check electronic components to see if its the motor or the board/driver.
