I have a digital woodworking angle that’s perfect for checking. If you’re going to do a lot of work on your machine, it pays to go through it entirely and check torque, parallelism, angle. The shoulders of the pinion and belt carry all the load, so it just needs to be tight enough that the belt doesn’t slide outwards and skip, and on lightweight machines, it’s reasonably easy to torque something a half mm out of alignment and the belt starts to rub against either rim and then to skip or vibrate. loosen them off, grab the pinion in your hand and pull it so there’s no play at the top - it doesn’t have to be ‘boing’ tight One finger. The long axis uses a pair of the NEMA 17s.īelts shouldn’t be tight.

It is really just the fill at this point that is giving me heartache. When I do simple squares they come out perfect, right size, everything lined up as expected. I have triple checked everything mechanical, everything is tight. There is a little tiny bit of play on the X axis (typical v-rail slop), so I rotated the engraving to the Y axis (Linear Rail) where there is no play at all. I have also tried the boxes in RDWorks and get the exact same results. All lines are coming out the correct dimensions. ie you have the machine draw a 100mm line, measure it and put the actual value in. At 300mm/s it was off by 4mm instead of 5 with no correction turned on.Īll other settings are default out of the box with the exception of setting calibration where you put an offset in for distance (in the RUIDA controller). I have also tried rotating the fill angle 90 degrees. StepperOnline Stepper Motors NEMA 17 59Ncm

As stated, I am getting close to the correct values there but they are not 100% spot on yet. What I really want to know is what is causing this? Can I get to the root of the problem and fix it without having to have the skew values set. If I turn off bidirectional, the fill lines are all lined up correctly but the outline box is still offset. I have entered the skew values into the device settings and I am getting pretty close. Relative to the outline the line appear to start late and finish late. At 250mm/s my lines are skewed about 5mm. I have gone through the alignment drill with 50x50mm boxes at 250mm/s, 100mm/s, 50mm/s and 25mm/s. I have been digging through the forums, and have seen some similar issues with a range of solutions, but overall do not seem to be working well for me.
