Please do upload that as a file and delete the text - freezes my phone :) Alex.
It is the proper way, but disconnect the steppers from the controller after turning the power off - they act as generators when turned by hand,...
Also check that your X axis is square to the Y. Alex.
Ratrig will replace bent leadscrews if needed. Have you tensioned the leadscrews? (it is possible to overdo it and that can cause the frame to...
Most likely you have assembled something incorrectly, but I suggest you ask in the Facebook group in the link below. Alex. Log into Facebook |...
Re the X axis, power off, disconnect and remove motor from leadscrew, disconnect any lock collars so you can slide the X gantry completely to one...
You could use a G10 L20 command to tell the controller where home is relative to its current position and that would be straight forward. Alex.
ACCELERATION - $120 - 122, not your steps/mm. 3000 mm/min is a little above the default (2500 mm/min) but shouldn't cause your issues. If you do...
Stepper motor wiring is by far the commonest culprit in cases like this. Check with a meter if you can, wiggling the wires to try to detect an...
Exactly - probe XYZ with the rod, change to bit, then probe Z. I do have a lathe, so made my own rod, but they are available commercially. Can't...
I don't avoid toolchanges for probing - quite the opposite. Many bits are not the size they claim to be (meaning you would have to change your...
It says in the description that the connectors come with it. Contact the parts store if you want to be certain. Contact Us BlackBox Motion...
I wouldn't think so - the risk would be the gantry moving, turning the leadscrews and the motors - generating back emf which could damage your...
You will find that very confusing - almost everyone is going to refer to the moving gantry as X (left - right) and the side rails (back - front)...
This link might help with the openbuilds components - step format though. Thers is a library of Openbuilds parts in Fusion format somewhere here -...
Reduce your max speeds to 2500 mm/min. If that fixes it gradually increase it until you get problems again. Alex.
You use (I'm sure you know this, but for others reading this) $5 in grbl to invert the operation of limit switches, but it can only be 0 or 1, so...
Z max is up, even though Z up is zero - as you go down the coordinates become more negative. Grbl, like most cnc control software, works in...
No easy way to add external drivers to the blackbox, but you don't need to worry about it - you should run steppers at about 60~80% of their...
G-code is not very standardised - there are multiple "dialects" - there are even variants of grbl. Even though your controller has 5 stepper...
