Thanks @sharmstr that wasn't it. :-(
I created these 2 signs using VCarve Pro (set to inches.) The toolpaths were saved as "XCarve (inch) gcode" and were profile cuts using a 60°...
Hi @GrayUK. There may be a lot of failures, but we're learning. Trying this and that to see what works best! LOL
Not quite off and running, but we have the machine going and have been trying our hand at things. It feels good to be at this point and after a...
It looks like you and @GrayUK were right! I connected my wire extension for the right Y axis with a small Dupont connector. As the chain started...
I loosened my Y and jogged to the rear but no noticeable difference. What I did notice is that when the power is off and I move the Y by hand I...
Thanks. I understand now.
When you say you re-squared the gantry what do you mean? Are you talking about loosening screws then squaring with a carpenter's square and...
I had something similar in my very first run. I saw someones' tip about adding the ties but thought that was more of a "long-term" thing. When I...
Tomorrow I will try your suggestion of loosening one of the sides of the Y then run it back and see if that helps. Good idea.
I checked both Y-axes with a 3' aluminum level, top and side, but could see no discernible variance. I just made a test sign in the front 12" and...
Vibration Redux or 1 Step Forward, 2 Step Back! After having this problem seemingly resolved, and the machine moving perfectly on all axes, we...
Thanks for that video. It was helpful for me, and I'm sure to others. @sharmstr
I want to give it a little more of a shakedown and listen to see if it reoccurs again at different points in the rails. As there are 6 wheels...
While I was adjusting them I was wondering if that was the answer, or would it needlessly complicate things. Not an engineer myself, and so new...
I think the problem is solved! I went over the wheels (again). I noted that some opposing wheels were at very different levels of contact. One...
Mark, If you didn't send the board yet, please hold up and watch this video. After reading GrayUk's post I tried running at 10k with a light...
Mark, We appreciate your expertise and hope you're correct. That would be the easiest solution! We have enjoyed this project so far, but are...
As the problem seems more pronounced at the ends, I was starting to believe that the rails weren't parallel, or the beams were dog-legged causing...
Thanks for the help @markcarew and @GrayUK
