Z-Axis Not Working

Posts: 1Member
Hello All!
I'm new to this 3D printing thing, and I just got a new printer. I test printed something, and it worked fine. I tried printing another thing, and there was this grinding-noise and the z-axis suddenly stopped working.
When I turn it off and turn it on, the Z-axis will work momentarily before making the same noise and stop working. There's a whirring noise like it's trying to do something - it's just not doing it. Or maybe it is something else.
I can move the cylindrical thing - I think that's the coupling or something? if I put enough force and twist it.
Anyone know what I should do?
