    Hi, am in the process of the final installation steps of my 1515. Using the controller I can move the x & y axis with no issues. But when it comes to the z axis, the motor seems to not spin but turn and then kickback.

    With the unit powered off, I can manually raise and lower the z-axis. It moves with ease.

    I have removed the motor and re-installed it.

    I have watched the video a few extra times looking for something I missed.

    My next thought it to swap the z motor with the x and see if the x-axis becomes problematic and z works.

    Before doing that I thought I would reach out to see if anyone has a suggestion.
