I was so excited to receive the new linear modules today. Unfortunately after installing them according to the inclosed document, I encountered a issue for X and Y modules. The following video show the Snapmaker attempting a calibration. \*\*\* WARNING - The sound the snapmaker is doing in that video will hurt your soul! \*\*\* [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/4/d/4d49033e0ea3d46e3f4d51318adb3726814951df.jpeg "Snapmaker 2.0 New Linear Module Strange Sound") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdnzy5aTV1I) After digging into the situation I realized that any X and Y steps increments were way bigger than expected. When I was requesting 10 mm of movement, the toll head moved by 25 mm following for X and Y axis; Z was moving as expected. There X steps and Y steps were off while Z steps setting was okay. Inspection of M92 command showed that X, Y and Z were set at 400.00. By simply setting X steps and Y steps to 160.00 fixed the issue. tl;dr The linear module for X and Y require their respective X and Y steps to be readjusted: 1. Retrieve the existing Xsteps and Ysteps from the firmware: M92 2. Set the new Xsteps and Ysteps 40% of the current one M92 X\ Y\ 3. Save the new values M500 Note: I have only tried that with the 3D printer tool head, I assume the same calibration will have to be done on the other toolheads. ---

Sounds like you have the linear modules mixed up and installed wrong or have not updated the firmware. They’re no longer all interchangeable. The z axis have different lead than the X & Y. The z are the same lead as the old, 8mm but the new x/y are 20mm. Old modules can not be used at same time as new ones. -S ---

No. Installations are correct and it is the last firmware I double-checked. Latest firmware [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/6/0/60c74e0c120259abfa29ecc998d98394de4d2582.jpeg)](https://ibb.co/dWdhmbf) Both Z are the Lead 8mm [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/7/b/7b0d785793e4ef77899995c10c7313ca8885017e.jpeg)](https://ibb.co/0sqkYFY) X and both Y are the Lead 20 mm [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/b/6/b642e753c76410e4c281db071154d27f0f858ab8.jpeg)](https://ibb.co/t2FMQDy) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/5/3/53b272c1b909ff94670faf49dc110652c7a781df.jpeg)](https://ibb.co/F8b1CfP) No mix and match with the old ones. ---

This happens when M92 is used - there’s a patch on Github, hasn’t been published yet. The workaround now is M502 to reset all settings, then M500 to save, then power cycle the machine. ---

Had the same problem after installing new modules. Thank you for the temp solution. It worked for me. ---

Did you notice any play in the y-axis after resolving this issue. I experienced the same horrible event after installing the new linear modules. I have a test STL that seems to exhibit a line mid-way up but only if there is play in the y-axis. [SmallTest.stl](https://forum.snapmaker.com/uploads/short-url/xxbmUjnq2XfWfR1MzDPrDXhsFtN.stl) (3.8 KB) If I print three in various orientations, the one with the arrow, has a line running along the wall about half-way up similar to the attached photo. ![sampleridge](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/e/2/e2e32767e669003e003dcec770821b345947af35.jpeg) ![Test](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/a/b/abeb205e4064823a78f0b1f8f08cbedbe0d4fc3a.jpeg)
