Engraving issues

Cheers lads! In my defence the end brackets were simply a temporary fix as I had run out of funds for more machining.

So do you think this is the problem? Yeah I'm using Eding CNC software

Ah now I remember playing with different mounting options!

Ok so I found some scrap 25mm Ali and cut some end mounts out this shouldn't move!

Hows that going to help.?

Hopefully moving the screw along and mounting end bracket to it? But what about the other end??

I thought thicker the better and mounted on the end of the extrusion with 4 M12 bolts would keep it sturdy? The screw will be offered up to it and bolted to the plate

Just make a bracket from 2 pieces of your 25mm plate and fit where your existing bracket is?

You mean a spacer between the two fixed peices

I dont know ...


Derek, you know that ball screw should be under maximum tension right???? Not just fixed there to stay on place. And that means screwed both sides with lock nuts. I thought that was clear to you when decided on the rotating ball nut to move gantry.
