I'll have to look into what the usual method of control is

2
It has two set screws on it

I will take it apart later today and take some pictures. It is a home build with a lot of "opportunity" to improve

4
I installed a set screw on each end of the coupler and ground a flat on the acme thread

5
There is a pillow block below the coupler. Maybe I need to add another pillow block at the other end

6
I used a pillow block. See if anything i the attached picture jumps out at you. I do have another motor I can try

7
I ground a flat on the acme rod and added another set screw to contact the flat, so I think so. What is the standard repeated precision that I shoot strive for?

Home built Wood CNC

I just installed a 8mm acme rod on my Z axis and I am trying to set it up.
I don't have an anti backlash nut, not sure if this is my issue.
Nema 23 motor.

I have mounted a digital caliper to the carriage to measure my movement for set up.

I am measuring a 50mm distance using Z50 and Z0 for the movement and then measuring the distance and resetting each time.

Here are my measurements in mm:

up   -.2
down   +.36
up   +.18
down    -.01
up   +.32
down   +.24
up   +.07
down   +.35
 
I've done more cycles, but this illustrates my perceived problem

up off by ave.1925 range of +.32 to -.2
down off by ave.24 range of +.24 to -.01

both averages are less than ten thousandths.

Is this too great and inconsistency? What are acceptable tolerances for the different axis' in wood and hopefully aluminum at some point?

thanks, Mike

I figured it out. I didn't have enable checked

Maybe this attachment will help?
