Fixed minor typos & added suggested correction to substitute **caret** with **carriage** - although I could be mistaken with the latter.

I assume you did everything according to instructionthe instructions but here is a checklist of what could be possibly wrong.:

  1. frictionFriction - check if you can rotate/move parts without lot of resistance
  2. screwsScrews - check if screws on couplings are tight and they don't slide over a shaft or thread
  3. stepsticksStepsticks - check if they are cooled properly and similar (as there are two of them)
  4. caret carriage Carriage nuts on threads - chcekcheck if they do not slide out of their nests while caret[the x-axis] carriage goes up
  5. filametFilament - check if filametfilament unrolls without resistance which can eventually hang caret

    IMO #2 and #3 are the most possible cause [the x-axis] carriage to hang.

IMO #2 and #3 are the most possible cause
