    I'm super angry right now. I want to play with my CNC router and it stopped working. To be precise the Z axis motor stopped working. It squeals and doesn't move. I checked the cable by swapping it with the X axis and it has the same symptoms. I contacted the seller and I demand a replacement.

      @adiwan **patpat** the universe is sorry, bananaty things like this happen. It is probably just a dumb elecromotor that decided to burn out or something.

      If that is true though, I would be angry that it happened at all. If it is a cheap electromotor then that would be dandy but annoying, but if it was an IO error somewhere that would drive me NUTS because that means it could happen again on that specific kit.

        @drinkingpony It's a standard Nema 17 1.3 A, 12V stepper motor connected via a coupler to the Z axis lead screw. It's replaceable but still very annoying to the point of making me angry.
