I turned my mover off for the time being but it's because I'm having an alignment issue with my pulley. I think I'm going to have to buy a different pulley to correct the problem. For some reason, the pulley will cant itself at an angle when the light is at the bottom. This causes the wire to pull through at an angle and eventually it slips over the side and binds. I'm hoping by replacing the pulley with one that is fixed that it solves this problem.
I had this problem too but I skewed the angle of the eyehook that the pulley hangs on and it fixed it.
How deep are the grooves on that pulley? Mine is pretty deep and even at an angle it wouldn't fall off the pulley, but would increase friction and cause the motor to slip on its track.
That and some wd40 for the squeaking of the pulleys and we're golden, lol.
