I'm back to that horrible grating noise when I home all axes though.
I looked hard at the x drive pulley,and it's not actually moving when it gets to the endstop,just sits there graunching away for 3-4 seconds.
The Y axis goes even longer.
To add insult to injury,it won't print again now.Rats!I'll probably have to reset the z-endstop in config.h again,because m119 now shows
both z min and max endstop triggered.That can't be right.
My extruder had the longer 44(?)mm motor,which meant i had to devise an adapter to fit the hotend.
This resulted in a rather wobbly extruder,so i have ordered a 34mm long motor from makershop.
Check your axis and end stop sensors match, that the plugs are where they are supposed to be.
Your extruder probably had a longer motor to give extra torque to push the filament with sufficient power. Check the voltage of your new motor, I'd be looking at something rated at 6 V or under. I use a UD$45 digital clamp on meter from dx.com that can measure AC and DC current (zero it on DC) to check the motor current, I have mine set to around 250mA when not moving but powered. You could fry your stepper drivers if you use too low a voltage motor without adjusting the voltage down first on the driver.
