Have you tried it on any other materials? Every year myself and a bunch of friends have a friendly salmon fishing competition and I was thinking...
Thanks for the info. I found that it is a 7.5 degree stepper, byt it is really small. I think i will just buy a nema 14 like you used. I have a...
Thanks
D*** you Kyo! :) I was just getting ready to design my z axis for my laser cutter and this thread pops up again. I really can't improve it, so...

Maybe I misunderstood you, but it sounds like your g code is "running the wrong direction." Looking at your G code in a simulator (see below), It...
Here is how Kyo demonstrated it and it worked for me and my Arduino set-up with DQ542MA drivers and a screw shield (skip the Rasberry Pi part...
