My machine went a bit crazy this morning. Did a rapid move to current xy super slow. Then crashed on Initialise, then crashed again on Initialise. Both times it had a homing error.
I’ve had my 4 pro for a few years and it’s solid. One of the best things I ever bought. And I do give it a check now and again, and I keep the machine nice and tidy. But obviously not enough.
Checking the shapeoko help on the homing errors I had a quick look at the back right. There I saw a bolt sitting on the gantry. A quick check and I could see it must have vibrated out of the Z motor plate. So lucky because yesterday I had the $120 Datron bits on and could easily have lost one.
Anyhow, blue loctite and back to business. I checked all the other gantry bolts but
all were tight.
