Also what kind of speed should I be getting? Anything over about 30-40 IPM and the motors stall. I am using the hobbycnc pro board and the 305 motors. Does this sound about right?
Thanks, Joe
you should easily be getting 80-100ipm, not sure what you mean by a bearing at the back of the gantry can you take a picture of the area. Also use white lithium grease on the leadscrews to ensure smooth and easy turning of the leadscrew.
Thanks,
Joe
