General Mach Discussion / Trouble Loading Plugins

« on: December 02, 2013, 09:58:38 PM »

I am having trouble installing a plugin for my VFD.  I have installed plugins previously and it seemed pretty easy.  I have copied the *.dll file into the plugin directory and started my Mach3 program and I am getting an error message saying defective plugin DLL defective reload.  I am hoping this is a simple fix but I know not what is is.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Z-axis problem

« on: October 25, 2010, 11:01:30 PM »

Last summer I built a home CNC machine for use in my garage.  orig ionally I built and assembled a home made z-axis assembly.  I could never get the z-axis to operate over 20-inches per min compared to the x&y axis which could operate at near 50-inches per min.  I scraped the home made z-axis assembly and went with a K2 CNC prefabbed assembly rated at 100 inched per min.  I still cannot get the z-axis to exceed 25-inches per min.

Other than that problem my machine works great and my tolerances are acceptable for the type of wood working I am doing.  I purchased the stepper motors and 3-axis controller from Xylotex.  Is there a setting in the Mach3 software I need to check?

Sorry for the lack of pictures, I will try to get some posted shortly.
