Z Axis Grinding on CR10S Pro v2

Filament 3D Printer Technical Help

Hi Everyone.

I have a CR10S Pro V2 and the Z axis just started grinding during a print.

It is the right side having the issue. So I tried swapping the two z cables at the motherboard to see if the problem would move to the other side, but it stayed. So I’m guessing its not the stepper driver.

I tried unplugging one at a time from the board, the other side worked fine, this side would either make the noise or stop turning very quickly (after moving 1-2 mm).

I swapped the motor for a new one, same issue.

Not sure what else to try. Was thinking maybe it is the coupler? But any advice would be appreciated.

In the video it looks like the wheels are not turning, could be jamming.

I am on board with 3DMulti

If you power the printer off are you able to spin the leads by hand? just to see if something is binding, Maye lost a V-wheel bearing and it’s locking it up.

Check your x axis to see if it is parallel to the frame. You may be so far off square the Z screws are fighting each other.
