Shark Pro Plus HD (original) help
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2018 5:29 pm
Hey everyone,
I've had this shark for six or seven years, since the HD first came out. It has worked great over the years. Now it is no longer moving in the Y-axis (my X since I changed the cables). It can't seem to turn the screw under the table.
My plan is to strip the top off, and see if there is something stuck, or loose. I've already blown it out, vacuumed it, and lubricated, all to no effect.
I can hear the stepper trying to move the screw, but unless I actually push on the gantry as I press the job button, nothing moves. When I push on the gantry it does move, but makes a terrible sound.
I plan to contact NextWave support once I get it apart and am able to investigate further.
My question to you smart folks is, am I on the right track? Missing something? Anything else I should check out at the same time?
Thanks,
Gordon
