What is the range of deviances? What I mean, how consistent is the deviance in dimensions? Is it very close in all directions, is the error along one of the joints or is it completely random? I think that each of these cases will lead to different potential causes of the problem. > Is there a good post > on calibrating for a stepper motor machine? I think that cause of problem should be eliminated rather than trying to adjust g-code to it. Even more - if You do not know the cause, You will not be able to treat it in g-code anyway, because You need to know, what should be adjusted to workaround those deviances in dimensions. I think that first thing for stepper machine to try is playing with acceleration and velocity parameters. And next thing is actually testing the machine and understand those deviances - is there particular direction, where they occur etc. Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
