X-axis is not moving stable

Hello,

When i try to print an object the x-axis is not moving ´stable´ see [www.youtube.com] . How can I solve this problem, I tried the sprinter and fiveD firmware but both doesn´t work. Is there anyone who had a similar problem. Moving the axis with the software (Replicatorg, Pronterface, RepSnapper) manually works correctly.

Thanks
Lemio

I'm sorry I'm not sure to understand what you mean, even after watching the video.

Could you elaborate on what you consider "not moving stable" please ?

Are the layers shifting in the X direction ?

... it seems you're missing steps - check if the axis is running frrely without much friction and if the motor-current is set high enough ...

Thanks, sorry for this post, it was indeed the motor current. Changing the potmeter worked for me.
