Re: plasma collision error

Thanks so much for all your help. I never got this much support from the mach forum. I'm going to add some photos of the y axis. Also hoping to use this set up to improve the gantry and y axis. Was originally going for a dual usage router/plasma but not any more I really want to lighten everything up.

Screen is set as high as it goes. I will try to up my speed tonight.
Not really looking to cut that thin but will see how fast it will run.
Does anyone have a recommendation for the best gauge to use for wall art?
