Ok today I hooked up Mach3 to the X Axis, Arrived at 200 steps Per/400mmMin/100Acceleration in motor tuning, Now here is where the brain goes mushy and i know ive asked this question before, The Gantry travels 2000mm in 18 seconds, the ballscrew is 10mm pitch, how do the settings in mach3 and the actual speed of the gantry relate to each other..

Ok i think i have it.. LOL
200 Steps per Rev x 8 microsteps = 1600 / 10mm pitch screw = 1600/10 = 160 steps per unit. not the 200 i put in, not sure what that will do when i put it in tomorrow when i get in but i will let you know.

I knew ide asked before lol

Ok today i put the Y to X registers in and fitted the bed to the registers, thats really all i can do untill the Y rails turn up and then I have the Z machined and fit it, so ive done one of those boring videos just to show the X axis moving on the twin rotating ballnuts and 2510 ballscrews, it is set on the conservative side at the moment and i may just leave it there, X100 input in to mach moves the gantry 1m so thats correct now..



Now that made you excited didnt it?? cmon admit it. ok it didnt me either..

By the way the irritating noise heard when the gantry changes direction is the Clamps holding the gantry on.

Well this just goes to show how fast things can arrive. The rails arrived this morning thats 4 days including the weekend, and this is the second time this has happened with this seller and all the way from Korea. Well hats off to them thats all i can say, they are listed as used on the add and to be fair they are immaculate. Magic

less than £200 and free postage as well.

LOL Naaa Jonathans are better than that and considerably better priced.
Mind you, if he wants to get some Uni spending money perhaps he should be selling them on Ebay as well..
