Stepper Motor Issue

[zandeauto]

Could someone tell me why my motor is making this sound. It typically only happens on the very same part of the table. This is new this week, and sometimes skips steps or stutters there too.

With the power OFF, check that each of the wires is seated correctly in both the male & female Wago connectors. I've seen this before where a loose connection causes issues at certain areas of the table because the wire moves in & out of contact. If you are running a v3.x.x board, PLEASE be SURE that the power is OFF before you do this or you WILL smoke the driver.

I'll tell you at 1st glance, the wiring isn't ideal...the connector should be wound around the motor and zip tied to prevent this sort of thing...Looks like the connector is down in the bridle.

Maybe check your rack gears in that section?:confused:

So right after posting it dawned on me to check the wiring and indeed I had a loose connection. All is well now. Thanks.
