Usually, when motors will only turn in one direction, it turns out to be faulty wiring that causes that. I'd suggest you check the wiring in and out of your motors, and remake any connections that seem suspicious.

The motors turn both ways though. Just not for a long time. For example, the x axis motor can move right for a long time (until it reaches its limit) but when I make it go left, it goes left for a few seconds only (about 2 seconds). Then it stops. This is happening to all the motors.

But I'll try checking the wirings and see if anything is wrong.

Thanks!

Thanks for your replies guys! I really appreciate your help.

I can turn the motors by hand when they're not on or coupled to the machine. They work fine, nothing seems to be stopping them moving in both directions.

I'll try rewiring and replacing things but if that doesnt work, I'll try the Geck540 thing.

I still have hope for this machine, haha

One last thing make sure these motors are not loosing steps by lowering your speed in motor tunning ...
intermitent problems are the worst
