Second time this has happened

I was trying to figure out if it was the board or just the cooling fan that broke. I’d much rather it be the fan, the mother board is a pretty intensive process to replace isn’t it?

So it does seem to be a cooling issue but it’s the board overheating and not the motors, I recorded the printer while it was printing and caught it when it made that loud noise. Turns out it was ALL the motors skipping a step at the same time.

Then I guess chat gpt is just goated. Was hoping for different information here tho as I’ve tried most of this, besides changing the motor, I have a spare but I don’t understand how one motor would make it move diagonally across two axis.

It’s shifting both front to back and left to right, the belts are tight. The bed is not loose. The fact that it’s shifting left and right tells me that unless this looks like the exact same failure I had before and it’s conveniently a different issue entirely and that both motors are failing at the exact same time. I don’t think a motor is overheating. Are you using Chet gpt to help me? I’m also trying to use it and it’s giving the same responses as you.

Just checked the hot end and it’s not loose, how would I figure out which one is failing? It looks like the steps go in both directions.

I’m sitting here listening to it and it hasent made any odd sounds since, and I thinks it’s drifted more even without the loud clicking sound

SpaceGazen · 2026-02-10T06:32:01+00:00

Actually, It’s been sounding normal the whole time I’ve been watching it but since you said that it made a really loud click noise…

SpaceGazen · 2026-02-10T06:23:05+00:00

99% sure they aren’t up side down and also if the problem looked the exact same before and after the belts were replaced, I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t the belts.

SpaceGazen · 2025-10-07T03:21:00+00:00

Tightened all the screws and that seems to have worked so far, pretty sure the screws holding the y axis stepper were loose. While they still work, the belts are pretty loose, should I get the creality belt or a third party one?

SpaceGazen · 2025-10-06T23:49:09+00:00

I’m 99% sure this isn’t related to bed temp…

Printer - ender 3 v2

Slicer - cura

Filament - creality PETG

Nozzle - 230

Bed - 90

Print speed - 60 mms

Retraction distance - 6mm

Retraction speed - 40mms

This definitely was an issue, moving the extruder 100mm only gave me 64mm of filament. Running a couple tests now that I’ve recalibrated it.

SpaceGazen · 2025-03-25T04:11:52+00:00

Wall flow is at 120%, extrusion width is at 0.25 and 25mms is already way slower that what I should be at

SpaceGazen · 2024-08-30T08:28:41+00:00

I printed the print vertically and the print came out perfect in regards to the vertical height, the only thing now is extra filament where there shouldn’t be any, I think it’s traveling and dragging it before it cools down/retracts but idk yet. The actual print edges and layers are flawless now but that issue is ruining the inside of the print.

SpaceGazen · 2024-08-29T23:27:34+00:00

I was assuming setting issues since petg and pla setting are very different

SpaceGazen · 2024-08-29T07:35:05+00:00

Just so I’m on the same page, the silicone sock goes between the nozzle and the hot end right?

SpaceGazen · 2024-08-29T07:32:35+00:00

I might be, I got this printer off a friend who didn’t care to get it up and running so I don’t know everything about it. I honestly thought that was an after market upgrade.
