Newbie looking at 6040 (China CNC) for polypropylene 15mm sheet

[JOGARA]

Not sure where I am going wrong here.

Putting my 2 parts together and finding that one looks like it is a rhombus though it is meant to be oblong.
The long sides are parallel and flat to the touch. But on both ends, the opposite corners are not parallel.

Looks like one of your axes isn't square

Great.

Well I am fucking done with this shit now tbh
I have wasted a good 6 months fucking around with it and problem after problem and now £150 in stock wasted.

IDK why this has come up now. It was fine before.

Just looking at some parts made prior to moving workshop and they are showing a slight wonk to one side on the same axis.
Minute compared to this 0.3-0.5mm we are now seeing.

Any ideas on how to fix the machine?

Close to calling it quits on this and going a different route. Though I would have to sell everything to afford said different route.
Anyone want to buy this machine?

Sorry but what did you expect.? It's cheap chinese Router which was never designed to cut hard materials to any degree of precision.! Your expecting too much from it.

Any ideas on how to fix the machine?

1. Identify the axis which is out of alignment
2. Identify what should put it/keep it in alignment
3. Post photos and ask for suggestions

It sounds like you've knocked it out of alignment by hammering it beyond it's capability, you may be able to hammer it back.

It's a great idea to fix it, it's probably something that way, when asked what broken machinery is worth I always quote the Rag and Bone Man's opening gambit to children - Tuppence and a Balloon :D (I'd actually give about £50 as I could use some of the parts for a 3D printer build I'm on with ;-) )

There is always the bodge option.
Machine the parts so that the out of squareness matches up.

Been thinking about doing that. Does not impact the internals of the case as we built in tolerance to the PCBs.
