I grabbed the Z axis assembly and was able to get some rotational play around the X axis C beam. I then went meticulously through the entire...
Now this I could buy because it makes sense in regards to how it would appear to be Y axis variation. At one point I had some flex of the Z axis...
I will try the roughing vs. finishing/spring passes. That is not a new concept to me from my days of programming/setting up/operating CNC lathes...
Does anyone else have any suggestions where or what to check next?
It is not visibly noticeable, really. Just a single profile pass with 1/4" end mill, 3mm depth per pass.
I also cut a circle yesterday while toying around. It was 50mm diameter and I measured it with a pair of micrometers at various quadrants. There...
Between yesterday and today I got everything back in order. It looks like I had tightened the anti-backlash nut too much trying to ensure there...
I backed it out slowly and tested it as I went and the motor still wouldn't turn it. Backed it out until it almost fell out and was not in...
Tonight I took the X axis C beam off of the Y axis mounts, convinced that I needed to tighten the X axis nut. Upon removal of the beam and pulling...
Ok, several things here. I brought home a 600mm Starrett rule and it matched up well with what I had already calibrated. Went back through Y and X...
I checked the couplings and other movable parts and made sure everything was tight, and didn't seem to have any sloppiness. I ran the item again...
Yes, they are definitely easier to tighten on the flat of the motor shaft than on the lead screw itself. I'll check that after work. I agree...
What am I looking for when cutting a circle? I can tell you that I noticed that cutting a circle at 300mm/minute or higher, the circle came out...
[ATTACH] Here is a drawing of how I have the hex oriented...X+ is to the right of the drawing and Y+ is to the top. There are the three dimensions...
Yes, exactly like that.
Calibrated per those very instructions. I used 250mm in Y and 600 in X (longest measuring tool that would lay in the bed). No backlash in the...
Fairly experienced user having issues with a self-built Sphinx 1050 machine. I have successfully calibrated and trammed the machine to what I...
