I agree with belt but a good ballscrew would not wobble. for 10kg I would not use ordinary ACME leadscrew (-: Use the smallest pulley you can or...
How to 'Fake the home'
You can manually calibrate HOWTO Calibrate your CNC Machine for MACH3 or GRBL In fact you can start from a totally wrong steps per mm, like '7'...
and make sure your tool movement directions are correct... https://openbuilds.com/attachments/workbee_1510-axis-directions-png.44062/
set the radial stock to leave to 0 the default for the bore operation has some stock to leave as a percentage of bit diameter, but you dont have...
if the MPG pretends to be a keyboard and can be configured then you can map its buttons to the keys that CONTROL uses. or you may be able to use...
Z home must be at the top of Z travel, the positive end. axis directions are [IMG] then you use the 'setzero' buttons to set the 'work' zero...
Please don't 'home down'. This will give you a lot of issues.
Hi Keith I think I get it now...... hitting clamps rather than dragging on the surface itself. What you need is a custom macro to move Z safely...
Keith you are doing something wrong in the way you are setting up the machine. 'dragging the bit' means you have not set the machine coordinate...
David the swarfer submitted a new resource: How to 'Fake the home' - The is no place like G53 G0 X0 Y0 Z0 Many hobby machines do not have...
Many hobby machines do not have automatic homing and homing switches. However the machine still needs a home because all the Gcode generating...
I assume that as Z drives 'down' the mustard is extruded? so the tool path you need is a continuous down movement in Z during each X/Y movement....
this is not a good way of doing it (research 'fake the home' for why, you do not want a false MCS nor WCS). machinists have been doing 'the paper...
first suggestion, do not use G91, even the LinuxCNC documentation says it is dangerous (-: and, do include a G21 to set the units, if you happen...
something on X is sticking (if it is not an electronic problem). as stepper motors go faster they have less torque so are less able to resist...
spoilboard yes, clamps no, dont bother. The spoilboard is by definition spoilable, it is inherently a replaceable part of the tool. With this...
it does reset. neither M3 S12000 nor S12000 M3 will fix the drawing anomoly, only adding a G1 to the next line does it.
Just dropped V15 which is imperial friendly. swarfer/GRBL-Post-Processor NOTE: the home offsets are still in Millimeters but will be correctly...
@Peter Van Der Walt got a weird one for you (-: in the process of making the Fusion post imperial friendly I have been outputting gcode in inch...
