Hi Everyone,

Apologies my 1st post is a call for help....

I have inherited a Voron V2 with a Revo nozzle from a researcher who was building it then left before finishing.
After tracking down the information, I have followed the guides to install and configure the software. I had completed all motor checks and heater checks, and everything was working as intended after some wiring swaps based on the guide to get the motion working correctly.
This morning, the back left Z motor has stopped working during the setup for the XY position of the Z trigger. All other motors are working as before.
I've checked what I can see of the wiring, everything looks ok but without dismantling I can't say for sure. As I previously mentioned, it was working then stopped during my setup of the Z trigger.
I'm hoping I just need to change something in the config file which hopefully I've attached correctly.

I would really appreciate some help or guidance with this, or any quick tips for checking if some hardware has failed.

Thanks

Richard

You will need to take the bottom panel off and assess the wiring for the problematic motor, hopefully it is just a loose connection, if it was working before for motor checks.

If the wiring all checks out ok, you could consider swapping the stepper drivers around to see if the problem moves with the module.
 
If you have a look at the [stepper_z1] section of your config, you'll see where you need to pick one of two options for the enable_pin, depending which version of octopus you have. Looks like neither option is enabled right now. (Which you'd think klipper would complain about, but I guess not)

Thank you @shiftingtech that was exactly what was wrong. I must have accidently commented that pin out when changing the config file somehow.

Now I just have to finish the rest of the initial setup, then hopefully a working Voron machine :)

Thanks again
