Maybe tighter still use a clamp or a lever, calibrating across a large distance and accept this will never be a pro milling machine will help....
Mine is better than that Yes, more tension will help, pull the motor up firmly while tightening the bolts.
My new x plates are like your v3 (or more like v2) with the motor on the diagonal and using three bolts, so you can get the pulley closer, and...
Are you saying no matter what way you command it only moves one way? is the movement smooth or erratic? Most likely the dir signal wire is broken...
Longer runs with belts means more stretch and the belts are a bit springy. Depending on the use case it may or may not matter. There is also...
Sounds like you don't have a good starting point for your steps per mm, need to figure that out first and go to cal from there. post your settings...
Another thing to watch out for is loose parts, need to use tabs (bridges or whatever we call them) to hold the loose parts from moving and...
Upload example files so we can take a look. regards Gary
The router is turned on and off by the gcode, yes you select the speed manually turning the knob before starting the project, the feed rate is...
You have the router11? Many people use the IOT switching power strip to allow on off control, for RPM set ahead of time, appropriate for the...
I'm a bit confused as to why you are giving up on this last issue? Need to select a machine type to tailor the code for the machine, this will...
Info here on mastercam/grbl post
I would recommend calibrating over a longer move than a dial indicator can do, something like 304.8mm ;)
Direct drive to the gear? Could guess at about 12mm dia puts you at about 38mm per turn 1600/38 puts you at about 42steps per mm, this is all a...
If you are using OpenBuilds Control you can use the calibration wizard. If not you can tell us the pitch of the gears you are using and now many...
From the docs, pic shows both sets of wires swapped but actually only one pair needs to be. So instead of red blue, Green Yellow, if you make it...
Just swap one pair of wires from one coil around, or use the GRBL $3
It does look like you have a loose pulley grub screw. Belts on a long machine are problematic as they stretch and spring under load, unless you...
Shouldn't the neg be going to the digital outputs as default? and pos to the +5v unless you inverted the bits in the config.h file.. I might be...
Yes those are worn, the dewalt eats brushes, order a few sets they are inexpensive. Do you run at full speed for those projects? reducing the rpm...
