No, we’re still around. We’ll send you an email shortly regarding your order.

That looks about right.

Remember that gantry is 150 lbs. It’s definitely not going to be as easy to move as just a plain carriage because of the weight. You shouldn’t feel like you have to shove it hard to move it.

If...

We don’t lubricate the bearings at the factory because it can make a mess in transit. Lube with a NGLI #2 grease. Also, if the machine was out in the cold it tends to be a little stiff.

Try the...

Joe, the gantry is 150 lbs. you should be able to push it with one hand in the center.

Mick, check your inbox. We got a new ballnut coming your way tomorrow.

We are working hard to get orders out. The hold up on the Saturns has been a shipment of linear rails which has been stuck in customs since 9/3. We build in a 3 week buffer time to clear customs and...

Sorry. The full Z-Axis motor coupler should have shipped with the initial shipment. I suspect it was jarred loose in transit. Anyway, I will get one out to you shortly.

Glad you got the file loaded and things setup.

You’ll need 4. I’ll get in touch with soon.

Regarding the plug and play box, we do source them from CNCRouterParts.

I am excited to see your build

I won’t speak to whether or not you should do what you’re proposing, but I can answer your original question. You can put both on the tramming plate, but it will require modification of the...

That should be fine. We’ve had customers do it before

76in x 63in. Is the pallet size. Weight should be about 940 lbs for the configuration you got.

Glad you got it figured out.

If you have the standard router collar on there that might be a cause too of 0.002-0.003” of runout. Consider getting a precision collar set from a place like precise bits.

Good news!

Check your email for a tracking number.

Talked to Erik today. He actually do not have the latest pinions. Sending him a replacement set today with belts to try.

So I think we can be certain is not linear mechanical error. With the problem described it seems like the idle steppers are not fully locking in place. Have you tried setting the idle current setting...

It should be smooth. I am not entirely sure what you mean by “hurky-jerkiness”? Is it on both axes? We test motion here during assembly.

We can determine if it’s a mechanical issue with a dial indicator. Can you try putting a dial indicator on both the X and Y axes to validate the measurements you’re seeing? This would allow us to...

It’s shipping today.

That cut profile makes sense given the pattern of measurements. I am not sure it’s backlash because if it’s backlash I expect variations in measurement. But each row and column have very similar...

Can you post the steps per inch you are using? With 10X microstepping your steps per inch should be 1909.9861 or real close to it. Also, the Z-Axis should be 10160 steps per in.

Also, as Ger says...

Dave, sent you an email.

10 bolts on each side. Six on top and 4 bottom. You will need to disconnect the cable chain.

No washer. It rides directly on the gantry.

See attached for the footprint of the machine.

A dust shoe with a standard dust collector will capture most all of the dust. Even if you don’t use a collector, the bottom screw is largely shielded from dust because you will put a top on the...
