so i just started testing my mostly built prusa (still need the hot-end/money to get) by moving the bits around and both my z-axis couplings broke. One had broken in assembly so i epoxyed it back together (broke in a different spot). So my point is, is there anyone in the USA/Canada regions able to print me off one of these with the modifications for SAE parts? I am willing to pay for the shipping and or the amount of ABS/PLA needed to print it. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,91771#msg-91771 Thu, 21 May 2026 09:21:23 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,218913#msg-218913 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,218913#msg-218913
"all was working fine untill just, out of the blue the Z axis will not move and i keep getting the error safe z turned off ignoring safe z move! ive not touched anything since last time i had a mess with it and it was working fine! it wont move when im in the motor tuning setup either".

the z motor does not lock - a new motor did not lock.
I reversed the pins no luck
I swapped the z x cables on the controller z did not jog but, x would jog on z or x. cross signal ?????
I put x on z of the controller and it jogs. [cable ok, controller ok.????]
Mach3 knows and shows the movement. SS diag shows the movement in mach3.
I checked out ohms on x to see what readings were on a useable cable then I checked z and it has continuity.]]> Dick Hopkins Reprappers Sun, 16 Jun 2013 21:04:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92257#msg-92257 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92257#msg-92257 I re-epoxyed them and covered the whole coupling with epoxy. It seems to be holding okay, the epoxy lets it flex some, but i would rather have the little better parts.
Thanks spad I will email them once i am back near my prusa currently on bike tour so spotty connections with people.]]> smellyfis Reprappers Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:13:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92167#msg-92167 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92167#msg-92167 NelsonRap Reprappers Wed, 27 Jul 2011 21:53:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92160#msg-92160 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92160#msg-92160 dean448 Reprappers Wed, 27 Jul 2011 18:31:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92150#msg-92150 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,91771,92150#msg-92150 larmym@gmail.com sold me two coupling's after i broke one of my "Z" axis
he told me he charges 5 bucks per hour for printing came out to 2.50 plus shipping.
i told him he needed to charge a 5 buck min.Ha Ha.
i sent him the money with pay pal no problems.
and i am making my own from alloy in a while
but first thing after i get a good print setup i will print what ever better one's i find on thingvers
