After a few minutes of printing or movement one of my Z axis motor stops moving. Then I switched off the supply and after waiting a few minutes I again tried moving the motor. It works for a few minutes and stops again!!!. What could be the problem? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,773446,773446#msg-773446 Sun, 13 Sep 2026 13:53:03 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,773446,773523#msg-773523 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,773446,773523#msg-773523
Check the temperature of the driver chip; you may need to add a heatsink and/or cooling fan.

Also check the temperature of the motor itself; it shouldn't be too hot to hold your finger on it. You may need to adjust the current going to the motor down a bit.]]> frankvdh Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Thu, 15 Jun 2017 19:22:52 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,773446,773446#msg-773446 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?160,773446,773446#msg-773446 mic1586 Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors Thu, 15 Jun 2017 10:45:41 -0400
