Y-Motor Stopped Working - Buzzes and is Locked Up
January 19, 2017 12:31AM
I have a Prusa i3 purchased on eBay as a kit. The part I was printing finished successfully, but as soon as it finished, the stepper motor started buzzing very loudly. I tried to home all the axis and the y-axis still wouldn't move and was making the loud buzzing (x,z ok). I turned off the machine, and the motor is completely locked up. I don't see anything external impeding the motor or the belt, it just seized. Any ideas what happened? Not sure why the print was 100% successful and then that happened. This is only my second day using the machine.

Remove the Y belt, is the motor still stuck?

Manually try and move the bed with the belt off does it move or is it physically jammed?

make sure the lcd shows that steppers are disabled and you may need to adjust that stepper driver pot
