    I think it may have been a lubrication issue, since the axis is now moving freely.

    However, I still have a problem. Both the X and Y axes will occasionally miss steps. I can run it overnight and find it still in the right place next morning, or I can leave it for a few hours and find it has shifted 1 or 2 cm. Which is no good.

    All the cables to the steppers and from the BOB to the drivers are shielded

    The hal and ini files are attached. I didn't change them much from when I was using the Denford drivers (when everything worked fine).

    I have tried various microstepping settings since to be honest I don't really understand the issue. The ones that have worked best are 400 pulse/sec, described as 2A and 2B on the drivers.
