    Been running a project for a couple days now was 50% done and something went haywire. I’ve checked all the connections to the black box and the wiring. I even tried swapping Y ports just to make sure. So here the issue of the day for me. One of the Y steppers seams to start turning in the opposite direction at a certain point in the Axis towards the rear of the machine always in the same location making the gantry start to twist. And the stepper make a different noise, not you typical smooth movement sounds. If I tap the controller words the front or the Y+ directions it will smooth out to normal. Is this a wiring issue maybe getting pinched or broken somewhere in the system? I’ve made a video of it happening here’s a link

    Thanks Peter, I kind of figured it was probably a wire issue, but wanted to make sure sense I haven't had a lot of issues. But I remember from our last talk about wires about a year ago or so. Seams like the culprit. Thanks again
