    Hello there!

    I've finally finished putting my Workbee 1010 together. The X and Z-axis are working perfectly but I'm having some issues with the Y-axis. As you can see in the following video whenever I change directions one side changes faster than the other.



    It's very noisy already when I move 10mm increments but it gets specially noisy when I move 100mm at once.



    What I've done so far:
    • Checked wheels preload. All wheels have good contact and can turn by hand if I force it to.
    • All lead screws are properly attached to the couplings and all the bearings and nuts are tightly placed and the lead screw is firm.
    • Motors are properly attached to the coupling and the screws are fastened.
    Thanks in advance for the help

    P.s.: when i turn the lead screws by hand it moves smoothly and both axis seems to require the same amount of force to turn.

    Post your Grbl settings? Sounds like very high acceleration

    I think I found the issue. The green wire on one of the y-axis motors had a bad connection. I fixed that and this is the result:



    I figure it must be normal for the y-axis be much louder than the other two but it would be nice to have a confirmation from more experienced people. Does everything sound ok trough the video?
