Oké now I mounted the Legs to the MDF plate and I got it 99,9% square now… really satisfied with it.
I haven’t tried to connect the endstops, but now that I got the MPCNC square I want to configure the endstops. On the board I have endstops for X+, X-, Y+, Y-, Z+ and Z- and all those have 3 pins Labeled with S G and V. I have (4) 3-pin connectors with 2 wires. How do I have to set it up?
So I completely disassembled and reassembled the MPCNC, the gantry was facing the wrong way.
I thought this would have been a quick job, but I had to modify everything.
Thursday I made my first text engraving and it was successful! Very cool!
I just wanted to try the endstops so I ran the M119 command and it says everything is open.
So I rand the home command for the X and then the Y, this working correctly.
Now I wanted to adjust the position of one of the endstops and then I did something wrong.
I ran the home command for X and 1 wasn’t homing for some reason so I pushed the emergency stop button in Repetier.
The tried to connect again and it failed.
I unplugged it from the power socket and put it back in and now I have connection again, but the stepper motors aren’t working…
Edit: after a couple of minutes it’s working again. I ran the m119 code again and X2 was triggered, I don’t know why because it wasn’t.
Then a reboot, everything was open again, I ran the homing commands again and the Y axis is doing good, it levels the axis out nice.
But the X axis is giving me trouble. It homes, but doesn’t level it self out like the Y axis. What can be wrong?
Edit 2: oké I did another test, homing Y works perfectly, but homing X not.
Something is wrong with X2, it doesn’t home right on touch… it’s pushing a bit further and the it homes. So it disalignes the axis completely. I think something is wrong with the wires.
I’m back! I ordered a new end stop and for now I forget about it.
I build a nice enclosure in the meanwhile, really satisfied with it!
Now I’m doing a new project, a house number sign in oak (designed in Fusion360).
I started with the engraving of the house number.
It went really well, but same as my first engraving… at the end it goes to the 0 position and drills a whole
In the Postprocessor I told it to go to 0 at the end.
Does it mean I’m losing steps on the Z axis?
