intermittently one of the x axis motors will stop and everything else keeps going.
It happened once Thursday and I resquared everything, turned everything off and on and checked connections.
It was fine after that until today, when it happened multiple times...
Motor was locked, wouldn't move at all.
-once- I swapped a and x axis and it jogged after that, switched them back and it jogged then too. -don't know if that was a fluke or what.
Do I need a new motor?
Thanks,
James

Hard to say it could be a cable. For a motor you should contact CandCNC they will get one out for free.

Thanks.
Do I need a reference number for the new motor? Is there something on the control box or do I need to say I bought a Bulltear kit on a certain date...
Also, what is the best method of contact for them?

Before we assume its a motor lets check all cabling like the DB25 form the PC. When these get loose they cause all kind of motion issues.

Good idea, when I said I checked the connections I meant only the motor connections....I'll check everything tomorrow, test and report back.

Stuttering usually means bad data stream. Motors not working then working means a lack of signal. If the motors continued to NOT work we would first look at drives then individual motors.
