Lock/buzzing of both my z axis/print bed stepper motors

Lock/buzzing of both my z axis/print bed stepper motors
July 01, 2019 09:24PM
Well I have posted here and gotten enough suggested to me to get my extruder issue corrected. Unfortunately now I have another issue. My setup in my configuration file was wrong for steps per mm on the z axis. I corrected it by increasing the number so when the bed was jogged 10mm it actually moved 10mm (it was only moving 2mm). This increase in the original 800 number for the 2mm had to be increased to 3200 for 10mm. Now that that’s fixed my z axis (2) steppers lock and buzz when homed or when the print cycle begins to start a print. They both jog just fine but homing is a no go. I have included my configuration file if anyone cares to look for a fix. I’ve been told the relationship between speed/torque has been disturbed so adjustments need to be made. I don’t have a formula or understanding, say with a chart, or whatever to fix this. Please help.

Have you tried reducing gamma_fast_homing_rate_mm_s ?
