Binding Issue Isolated

Posted on the facebook group but thought I might get some help here as well. Machine binding while traversing between toolpaths, I can replicate it by jogging full speed, this is specifically the left Y rail. I disengaged the ball nut to rule it out. It stalls at the default speed of 400ipm, the right Y does not stall with this test. Is this a bad stepper, wiring issue or just a default speed that’s too high? (I have seen the wiring troubleshooting page but this is as far as I’ve gotten so far.

Hey Chaosweaver,


The one video shows the test running only the left Y with no ball nut attached, so weve ruled out everything except the stepper and wire/connectors.
