General Mach Discussion / Re: Z Axis Drifting or Loosing Steps?

I think I am back to what I thought earlier - lost steps.
Tightness, binding, excess speed and electrical noise are all possible causes but electrical noise usually affects more than just one axis.
If you are absolutely sure it is not binding or excess friction on the axis then I would suspect the motor or possibly a loose coupling on the screw.
Tweakie.
