Hello, I am getting a grinding noise when moving to Z gantry to the top of the Z axis (Video attached). I did tighten the tensioning block which...
That definitely solved point 1, thanks. I will see if there are any EMI interferences affecting point 2.
Whilst the x and y axis are moving towards their respective switches the z axis stays in last position . I.e. it never moves.
Sounds like a logical reason for the second issue. But do you think for the first? It literally does not move in the Z at all.
Good evening, I have now started to use the homing in order to ensure that the x, y and z travels stop before hitting the opposite ends. But I am...

Yes indeed. I’ve had some fights with M5 screws. And now have a bag of spares. I’ve l Also learned from experience to anticipate and screws that...
Wow ok. I’ve used loctite normal strength on every single thing that I screwed in. Good to know though.
Seeing that the lead machines are entirely user assembled I’m surprised that Openbuilds does not recommend using thread lock in any of their...
Peter the Lead 1515 was set to 350 for acceleration and 3500 for speed. Is that considered solidly fast?
You will definitely know as they make a grinding/straining noise and they either barely move or not move at all.
Good advice and thanks for the reference figures.
