So I thought tonight I’d look more into the (maybe) v-wheel issue I’ve been having and also look a bit into another issue I’ve been noticing; resonance when jogging.
I only notice it when doing rapid movements and it’s particular noticeable when doing diagonal movements:
I’m pretty sure it’s related to the Y-axis, as I’m not able to hear anything when jogging the X-axis (not rapidly but ‘Fast’) but when jogging the Y-axis (‘Fast’) I hear it around the same spot, which is about 2/3 on the Y-axis when seen from the front.
I’ve looked for loose screws etc., but have found nothing that needed tightening. Any pointers on where to look would be appreciated.
Another issue I noticed while looking at the other stuff, is that sometimes the stepper-motor (I assume) on the X-axis is making a lot of noise when moving rapidly. It seems to occur almost every time the Y-axis has moved prior to the X-axis. I’ve not heard it when the machine is moving diagonally. It’s only the first time the X-axis is moved after the Y. The following movements sounds “clean”. Also, it’s not always the same noise that is heard.
I’ve included a couple of clips, that hopefully you’re able to view:
(the sounds are much easier to hear when using headphones instead of speakers)
Any ideas on what’s causing this?
I’ll be writing support with the issues I’ve noticed - I’d just like to get other input before doing also.
