X-Axis has a hard time moving
I have successfully printed 3 items on my printer but now I am having problems with the X-Axis. When I run some of the tests it will stop moving in the middle of the plate. It will move all the way to the right without an issue but when it is moving left it often stops right in the middle.
If I manually move it I can move it all the way to the left but it takes quite a bit of effort to get it past the middle.
Thoughts on what the problem could be?
Thanks!

Hi Jim,
there could be a lot of issues, but I would start off rubbing some grease on the X axis smooth rods, and running the extruder across to the other side, then rub some more grease in, in a thin film, and run the x axis back and forth a couple of times. to see if this sorts the problem!
