Solution:
This is normal. A stepper motor is a generator when manual driven. Suggested not to move things too fast but seeing some power generated is normal

I run my VC3 and VC4 with a 24v and 48v power supply. Never seen this but I put a volt meter on the output of my 48v power supply with it off and moved the gantry around and I was generating about 10v of power. Crazy
