x- axis skew
x- axis skew
Didn't do any mods yet, not too many i can do on he 4 axis board. My x-axis gets skewed while running, im gonna recalibrate but when i print a cube it ends up leaning to the right instead of straight, do i need to jumper the optos?

Re: x- axis skew
You need to mod your 4 axis board to get rid of the skew. I think there is a post on this forum about modding the 3 axis board, basically the same concept.

Re: x- axis skew
I would do the jumper mod. I did. I had this same problem, a cube leaning to the left, and I already had the optos jumped. So that wasn't it. I added a small hose clamp to the belt to make it easy to tighten, and with the tighter belt it got somewhat better. It's still doing it a bit with that file. I just ran another file, and it didn't lean at all. So I'm not sure whats going on. Maybe settings of one kind or another? I don't know yet. If you run into anything please share. Meanwhile, all I can say is tightening the belt up a bit helped.
