Re: Part Zero Drifting while running (RESOLVED)

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I have a job that involves travel, so sometimes I can't get back that quick. Anyway what were you guys saying about the dip swithes not being set to the overall turns ratio? What should it be set to? The zero drifting part was fixed with the axis being ti...

Re: Part Zero Drifting while running

I found a lead screw nut loose on the Z axis. Since I fixed that, has not been a problem.
Thanks for all the input.

Re: Part Zero Drifting while running
