Bittsetter on Shapeoko 4 Standard: Gantry won't move far enough on Y axis

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

While one can slightly influence where the origin of an axis is by adjusting the switch position, that shouldn’t be necessary, nor should it be needful to change the travel dimensions — usually when a machine falls short on an axis it is because the belts haven’t been calibrated, see:

Calibrating the machines over long distances

The typical technique for machine calibration: https://my.carbide3d.com/faq/belt-stretch/ depends on precision measuring tools, and is limited by the reach of the tools in question. EDIT: It also depends on access to the MDI — if using Carbide Motion v6 it will be necessary to enable this in Settings | Options: [image] It should be possible to cut strips from a suitable blank of material, one along each axis — so we set up a square file which matches an available blank of material: [ima…

Then reconfigure (but don’t re-send the Grbl configuration which would overwrite the calibrated values) and it should be possible to reach the BitSetter.
