Feed rate on Z axis from toolhead tab in Mainsail locks up lead screws
Hello, ever since I moved to ROS 2.1 on my VCore3.1 I have had the issue were if I move the z axis via the Toolhead say down 150MM, the acceleration is such that the leadscrews lock up and start to grind. I have no problem if I enter a feed rate of about F500 or Even higher. But I have to do that manually in the console. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a config somewhere that I can change the default feed rate for the z axis? Is there a mechanical issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

So, I figured it out. You just need to go into the interface setting>controls> and change the Z axis movemnet speed to like 10MM/s. that gives you a F600 when you use the toolhead. I think I still have a mechanical issue with the back z lead-screw, which I will replace next time z I have to take it apart.

Sounds like a mechanical issue, could you drop a video of it happening with as clean of audio as you can?
Sure. I am printing something at the moment. When it's done I will do that
Here is a screenshot of the console. G1 Z 100 F1500 sent via the Toolhead tab. In the video you can here the screwheads grinding or something.
That sounds like the steppers losing steps
Have you lubricated the screws?
not in a while. I will do that now. I have Super Lube. That should work right?
That's what I've used 👍
Cool. Thank you for your help
its just advice, we'll see if it helps 😄
You can lower z feedrate on variables in your printer.cfg
