Finished my build but have a few issues that maybe someone can assist. 🇬🇧

I built the Nema 17 Heavy Version that is 1500mm (X Axis) and 1000mm (Y Axis).
The motors are functioning and I was able to do some test runs however I have a few issues.

1. When I move gantry to the very front of the CNC one of my Y-Axis seems stops moving (it almost feels like its binding).  The motor is trying to turn but it just doesn't want to go.  I wasn't sure if it was maybe a bad print on the front left support.  Has anyone ran into this?  

2. I am also seeing the same problem when I am moving the X-Axis to the far right.  I get about 2/3 of the way and then it acts the same way.  Feels like there is some type of binding.  I did measure the distance of the lead screw to the C-Beam and it appears to be the same distance at each end.  So I am not sure what else I can test.  Anyone experience this as well?  

Everything works great in the back left half of the table.
I am going start taking things apart and testing different things - just wanted to know if anyone ran into this on their build or has troubleshooted this before.

I'm having the same issue, one side moves free but the other side gets stuck, I'm just wondering if the nema 17 motors I am using are powerful enough, they are 26ncm 12v 0.4a. Topsie, can you tell me if these are powerful enough or do I need higher ncm stepper motor?

Thanks

Hi Trevor Just an update, I bought some 59ncm stepper motors and its working perfectly, runs smooth and square, could be worth upgrading them to 59ncm motors
