Motors not Moving and Getting Very Hot
-
Ok so I started a print last night before I went out of the house, got back, print completed perfectly, but the printer was just sitting there with extremely hot motors (they made the PETG they were mounted on get soft). X Y, and one Z motor won't move, those are all burning hot to the touch, the other Z motor and the extruder motor work fine. The processor on the board is also hitting 70C while doing seemingly nothing, drivers are at around the same temp. All hot motors are also making a weird kind of "ticking" noise.

Everyone is going to ask a lot of questions:
- What board do you have?
- What version of firmware are you running?
- Post your config.g and config-override.g
- Is this a new problem?
- Did you change ANYTHING before this print?
-
@alankilian Board is a Duet 3 Mini 5+, firmware is "RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 Mini 5+ 3.3 (2021-06-15)" according to DWC, this is kind of a new problem, I noticed my Z motors acting weird a week or so ago and getting extremely hot, but thought I had fixed it by correctly crimping the one motor wire, printed fine for a few days, and now this. I changed absolutely nothing before this print, except that this was a new gcode file that I had just sliced. Config.g and config-override.g are below.

@3dmakerkid said in Motors not Moving and Getting Very Hot:
M906 X600 Y800 Z400 E600 I30 ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
This looks very conservative and shouldn't produce hot motors at all.
Let's try an experiment:
- Power-on and do not command any motions.
-- The motors should not be enabled and you should be able to move them by hand (Slowly and only a little way or you might do damage.) - Do the motors get hot after some time?
Home your printer.
- Do the motors get hot?
Disable your motors by entering m84
- Do the motors cool off?
- Power-on and do not command any motions.

@alankilian The motors aren't getting hot anymore for some reason, I did absolutely nothing to fix them. It's great that it seems to have fixed itself, but this happening randomly is not going to be a great thing... Also, my Y axis now will not sensorless home properly, even at a S value of 60, it's still just moving about a mm and thinking it's homed, otherwise, motion works great.
