Replicator 2 Y axis slipping?
I've got a Replicator 2 with about 350 !580! printing hours. It suddenly started slipping in the Y direction.
- The belts are all tight and I can find no damaged teeth or unusual wear.
- And the XYZ step motor cable has been replaced already with a crutch to help it not be bent in the future.
- The gantry seems to be aligned.
- I have yet to grease.
I'm not sure how to continue.

UPDATE: I replaced the short Y belt with a spare salvaged from an old bot. Tighter than the original but not as much as I want. ALSO IT STILL SKIPPING AROUND.
also this bot is at 580hrs :\
Things I have done:
-Greased
-Tightened all belts
-Realigned gantry
-Switched Y motor with a spare
-Switched short Y belt with spareLast edited by thebert; 04-15-2018 at 01:20 PM.
