I’ve yet to complete a project without the machine skipping, usually happens when the machine lifts the bit to move to a new section. I’m pretty sure it’s an operator or assembly issue. Yet I haven’t been able to identify the issue. I’m running Easel with safari and my macbook air
So far I have:
adjusted the tension on the belt. In both directions, thinking I
might have had too much, or the belt was slipping. Currently it’s
tight, “like a guitar string”
slowed the feed rate and adjusted the cutting depth
If you have the standard hardware, you have a g-shield connected to your arduino which is controlling the machine. There is a lot to digest, but it gets easier.
Joel - there is a hardware component to the machine that makes magic happen. Out of the box the hardware will likely need some adjustments. Read the previous posts and adjust the current on stepper drivers. Report back. Thanks.
