Need some help getting setup… the upper v wheels on the right Y axis carriage plate do not align with the y axis extrusion. They extend about 1mm too far. The lower v wheels are aligned with the extrusion. The right Y axis carriage plate is not square with the x axis rail. The left side is better but still not square. To me it looks like the end of the x axis extrusion is not cut square and/or is not the right length. I measured the top length of the extrusion at 0.010” longer than the bottom length of the extrusion.
The machine is on a torsion box, and I followed the machine squaring instructions by loosening the bolts and moving the gantry front to back etc. I leveled the rails following mikep’s write up. I put a mag base on the z axis and the indicator against the side of the y axis extrusion. I moved the z axis up and down and the travel is parallel with the side of the y axis extrusion within .002”. So the x axis extrusion is square with the y axis extrusion (in the x-z plane) but the y axis carriage plate is angled 1/16” across the height of the y axis extrusion. This shows up when putting a square between the y axis carriage plate and the x axis extrusion.
Not sure where to go from here…
Thanks!
