20x58 build, Rambo controller, DW660, Dual Endstops. Using Estlcam.
So I ran through all the initial Crown/plotter exercises and they turned out. One of my kids wears it after affixing a headband.
Tonight I was running some real cuts in pine, part was 100mmx350mm.
1/8 upcut 2 flute 2mm DOC, 8mm/s XY and 3mm/s Z.
Somewhere around halfway I lost steps on my long rails, I am open to any suggestions at this point. I’m looking at my spare conduit and contemplating just chopping the build down to a square.
So I think I’ve identified a possible issue, it appears that the X2 motor moves before X1. Hard to explain, but I can watch the gantry support shift angularly on small 10mm moves. Back to playing with tension bolts
maybe check driver current? that’s like half the speed you could use (a 530W / 29000 rpm makita router does 15mm/s and 4mm DOC with a 2mm downcut mill in poplar plywood easily), so you either have something hindering moves or currents set really low
Turns out you need all four wires for a stepper to work correctly, had a wire break at my splice. I probably should have just made up full length cables instead of splicing the kit cables longer.
