More X-Axis Woes need help/advice

In the meantime, here are some other related threads:

Previous solutions to similar problems have included:

  • be sure that all the connectors are all the way secured and each wire going to the connectors aren’t loose
  • check DIP switches on the motor drivers are fully seated (power off board before doing this)
  • slightly increasing the current coming from the driver by rotating the potentiometer on the driver clockwise (power off board before doing this)
  • if v-wheels are too tight and rails haven’t been cleaned on top and bottom then the gantry could snag on the debris on the rails - clean the rails and set your wheel appropriately
  • loose wires to power connector causing power instability - reconnected the power connector to the line from the brick and check that the motor drivers are staying lit even when the box is shaken around
  • checking all your grounds - whether it’s your dust collector, or running an extra ground from router all the way back to power source if the cable has nicks, cuts, or divots in it
  • change to a different electrical circuit / relocate laptop / try another laptop / change USB cable
