The 0.0079 mm error would not be causing the issue.

Are you using G41/G42 cutter radius compensation in your Gcode ?

Hi Stuart,

It looks very much to me that you have lost position (perhaps due to tool loading).
Did the tool return exactly to the original datum point at the end of the run or was there an error ?

Hi Dan,

Unlikely to be a bad stepper motor causing this behaviour. Check everything mechanical (loose set screws, tightness / binding on axis slides, etc) first.
Try reducing your velocity and acceleration settings in motor tuning by 50% saving the changes - does this make any difference to the error.

Hi, and thanks for the file. Appreciate the help.

However, it seems the only way I can illustrate the issue is take that file and produce a video capture of my screen, showing that it does not work...I get the same error message when post processing. The youtube link is: https://youtu.be/mVVMVNxgkTM.

It would be really nice if I could get the actual GCode file produced by a post processor, rather than just the model file...

Regards,
Barry

Hi Barry,

When you make your YouTube video 'Private' no one else can view it.

Hi SparWeb,

Don't know why but I still use the old layout although there are a few different 'looks' to choose from.
The SMF has it's moments but overall it is good, there are a couple of things I would like to change but the boss doesn't let me anywhere near any of the settings.
