AndyUK's Build - 1.2x1.0m Gantry

[AndyUK]

Y and X axis moving, apologies for the poor videography and mouth breathing; there are still no limit switches so I was trying to manually control and stay near the estop whilst filming, took far too much concentration.

The Y is substantially quieter (smaller single screw and better alignment I guess) and here its setup for 10m/min and 500mm/s^2.

The X still needs some alignment attention, here its running at 8m/min and 500mm/s^2. I think it was slightly crooked because at 10m/min something mechanical was slipping causing it to stall. Once a pulley was tightened and the gantry realigned it seems okay at 10m/min but time shall tell.

It's sounding and seeming okay to me, but I have very little experience to compare against, so comments and concerns appreciated.



Here's a short clip of the slipping I was seeing, after tightening the pulley grubscrew but before realignment:
