I was getting frustrated with a cut i was coming out inconsistent, then I happened to reach up and it did this, forgive me i’m still pretty new. But i’m pretty sure this isn’t supposed to be this way.
Does anybody had this happen? Potential fixes?
Appreciate yall
Looks like you gantry is loose so perhaps try tightening the M6x20 bolts on each side (ref. page 11 in the assembly manual)?
Thank you. I will definitely check it out!
You are right however, thats not good. Agree with Sindre.
Yep, that is the problem, fixing it now
But now fixed! Thank you and thank you to mh father in law, for giving my wife a set if low bend alllen wrenches, so all I had to do is pop a the cover move some wires and double check that everything was tight, both sides
Ok, next question for yall, dealing with this topic, How often do yall check your whole machine over?
Is there a check list of this? Ie Make sure spiral silver rod had machine oil on it. Make sure your gantry wont wobble.
Thanks once again for yalls help, it was nice to figure out what was up and be back up and cutting
@snaterst and @Redlander
We have a page on maintenance:
I can only speak for myself, but I rarely check the machine unless something unusual happens—which it hasn’t so far on my S5 Pro. All bolts were properly tightened during assembly and secured with plenty of Loctite. 
Yeah I kinda wish I had used some blue Loctite. It tossed another screw few days back before I discoverd the wobble, but it was on the gantry so I am guessing it was a result of the wobble
Thank you! Will check it out!
I follow the guidance from C3D, depending on the hours on the machine, type of material I’m cutting. if I’m running hours of hardwood then I check the machine more often. Just like my motorcycles, a dual sport that stays on pavement does not get the suspension frequency check that one gets if it was run hard off-road.
