I have just finnished my first cnc router and everything works fine (almost). Last night I was makeing a puzzle for my kid. I was routing in 6mm ply an suddenly I noticed that the X-axis was about 5mm off (minus).
I have read a lot of posts on the zone about loosing steps, but I have not found an answer to why this happends.
I notice if I turn up the velocity the motors are making sound but stops. Likewise if I turn down the accelleration (very low) the motors accellerate and suddenly stops, but they are making sound.
Can anyone tell me what is the proper figures for my setup?
Some data:
Hardware: http://www.kelinginc.net/ThreeXCNCPackage2.html
Leadscrew: 1.75mm
Microstep: 1/4
Amps on controller: 3A
Units: mm
Best regards
