hello all
New here to the forum. I'm having problems with my machine, b.t.w. using aspire and saving my toolpaths as gcode*tap inches, x and z axis slowly move and when i try to home back it takes me to a diffrent position than what i originally set it as. I calibrated the steps at around 3994 for one and 4000 for the other with Machs step calculator, but i could never get true accuracy, for instance, say i asked to move it an inch it moved it to .994 and it would reset it. I would then ask to move again and it would move 1.002 and so on. it never moved to one inch exactly. I don't know if this is part of the problem or not. I am going to crank up the power to my motors, as i was reading that they may be underpowered and skipping steps. As for now I'm bummed, because i can't use it. I did the tutorial that mach comes with,(roadrunner) and it worked fine. its when i load these 3d's. it goes maadd. Not sure if its a communication conflict or a calibration adjustment.
