    Machine losing dimensional accuracy

    The new machine performed well for about 20 hours, then after sitting idle for a few days the x and y axis' steps per pulse had to be reset. Does anyone know the explanation for this?

    Re: Machine losing dimensional accuracy

    A pirated Mach3 license may cause this. Did you buy a legitimate license,or are you using one that came with the machine?

    I was sure the Mach 3 that came with the machine was pirated so I downloaded the latest version and bought a license.
