Yes, but things are going badly wrong if that is happening on a regular basis. I've "squared up" my Y gantries three times in five years - one...
Exactly as @Peter Van Der Walt said - homing sets the back, right, up corner of the machine's workspace as a reference point (in the MACHINE...
$H does not set the WCS, only the MACHINE co-ordinate system (MCS) - see @Peter Van Der Walt 's comment about moves in the MCS. G53 switches to...
I avoid using G28 - there is an easier way once you have set a workplace coordinate system (wcs) zero. G90 G53 G0 Z-10 G0 X0 Y0 Absolute...
Most likely it needs new brushes, and the sparks from worn out brushes is a BIG source of emi. Alex.
X and Y will remain the same because they are set at the centre line of the bit. Your cam software "knows" this and allows for the diameter of the...
If it's intermittent then it is almost certainly a poor connection on one of the four wires. docs:blackbox-4x:faq-identify-motor-coils...
AC "ground" (I prefer the term mains EARTH to distinguish them) should NEVER be connected to DC ground. It is potentially dangerous as a fault in...
A), whatever the actual diameter of the bit is. B), better still, don't use any bit for probing X and Y - use an accurately turned pin (sometimes...
@Peter Van Der Walt, Adam's issues have been the subject of a lengthy discussion on the Openbuilds Facebook group. He has been getting false hard...
For other suggestions I did respond to your last message on the Openbuilds Facebook group. Alex.
Openbuilds stepper motors have consistent colour coding, but there is no standard. The link below will help you to identify the two pairs of wires...
Even better, if your router/spindle body is long enough, is to use two mounting brackets. Alex.
According to the calculated toolpath you have set your origin in Fusion cam at the XY centre of your stock box - I'm guessing you are probing...
You don't need to fix this - G53 is a move in the Machine co-ordinate system. G90 has put the controller in ABSOLUTE movement mode - go to the...
Not a wonderful idea - as the switch rotates it will momentarily energise any contacts it passes on the way to the one you selected. Alex.
I did manage to view the video - your machine is extremely dirty - clean it and try again. Let us know if the problem persists when the machine is...
Once you have everything running smoothly you should probably check your current settings. docs:blackbox-x32:currentadjustment [OpenBuilds...
That could well be the problem - nutblocks are often stiff when new. I use a battery drill to grip the leadscrew and run the leadscrew back and...
Just to confirm your answer to my previous question, does the motor turn if you take it off completely? If it does can you turn the leadscrew by...
