My Cheapo Chineese 3020t mini CNC Build (more like improvements) leanring all the way

I labelled each of the limit switch cables only to find I did the wrong lol, only need one cable per axis (2 switches)

Plugged it all in but its still not working correctly, motors seem to stop intermittently and something up with the y limit plug socket in the box.

I have not done anything to the settings apart from set the units per step which seem to be working now (when the motors don't stop)

I have sent an email to planet cnc and will do some more investigating tonight. Very frustrating as its starting to look really neat, just got to make sure the hardware has been assembled correctly

All a learning curve , be it a VERY frustrating one lol

Cheers

Right chaps, had a bit more time to play with the machine and iron out some faults, it appears my motors seem to stop working off their own accord, if you jog it one way then it move fine until it meets a slight bit of resistance, then it just stop's, but makes a horrible noise and tries to move each way slightly. My motors are anchuan 57hd0401-15sb. Im hoping that this is due to the severe lack of torque? My theory was to buy a new set of motors anyway with my installing the larger spindle, so I may purchase just one new motor to clarify that the low torque is the problem. Anyone had any experince with this type of problem?
