Printer stopping mid print

[curious aardvark]

try resetting the firmware.
Might work - might not.
But it can't hurt to try :-)

So Flashforge tech support got in touch and told me to replace the Y axis stepper motor cable with the spare that came with the printer. I did and it seemed to fix the issue I put it back through its paces for awhile and everything seemed to be working fine. So I started a print and again it stopped mid print well not mid it was at 2%. Only this time it did not reset like it had previously so I tried to pause the print. I went through the draining pipeline thing and moved back over to the stopped position. So I tried to UN-pause thinking ok it stopped but maybe I got lucky and it will keep going. As it started to move back into the last position the X-axis motor started to vibrate violently so much so that I turned it off because I was scared it would brake something.

I turned it back on and am able to move the x and Y axis manually without a problem but I turned back on replicator G and machine->control panel to see what was up. The X-axis will not move it just vibrates like crazy until I push stop. I know for a fact the problem I was having was when it was moving on the Y axis before. What in the freak happened to my X-axis stepper motor

Who knows maybe It was like Markwal said that when moving the Y the X wires also have to move and could cause a problem. I am just frustrated now. Anyone have any thoughts before I start dissembling my printer to figure this out?

If the endstop light is blinking when the x motor is complaining, I'd replace the endstop cable.

If not, I'd replace the x-stepper motor cable.

Actually, I'd probably just replace both since it's a hassle to take the bottom off the printer.

sounds like the motor might be jamed.
Dunno if that can happen.

Turns out it was bad cables on both the X and Y axis replaced both and now it is working. Go figure
