Autoleveller

A cheapy "3020"(Whatever the brand on ebay.. :) ) If by backlash you mean the "slop", I doubt it, it's too big and can be reliably eliminated. Although I wouldn't dismiss it altogether. However, I didn't have that problem before. And in fact consistent depth increase I noted before going left to rig...

Hi James,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm going to try a current version next time (might be some time though) and will post the results here.

I'll have to resurrect this old topic unfortunately as I've just recently been playng around with making PCBs and there're definite air cuts. This time I made sure there're no kinks or anything like that. Here's the whole story. A PCB size approx 100mm by 100mm. There're 100 something probe points. ...

Thanks for your answers, James. It makes sense (about kinks) now and also explains why first time I had a perfect result - I was still carefull from the times before autoleveller and stuck everything quite well :) I'll be giving it another go this weekend. Will post if I find something else I can't ...

After browsing through this forum, another possible answer could be related to arcs vs straight lines? In both examples above(plastic & PCB) I have a lot of curved and round shapes, but I'm not sure atm if they're broken down into lines or not. Update: I had a look at the PCB G-Code, there're no arc...

Hi guys, I have a strange problem... I've had one tremendously successful result first time I made a PCB with autoleveller. Used 0.1mm bit etching to 0.1 depth. However, for some reason, I can not repeat that result anymore. Now whenever I try, i still get either a proper aircut somewhere, or the de...

Just a follow up:
Did manual measurements and assigned the 4 corner variables to the right values and everything worked beautifully!
Thanks for your help guys.

Hi guys, Great answers! Thanks! for example. I think this will do what you want. Yes, that's exactly what I've been thinking about doing, I just wasn't entirely sure what the format of the variable(and variable assignment) was. Now, I do :) So that's precisely what I need. I can just manually run th...

Just to continue my thought process. Is the following possible. 1) Have GCode that positions the mill at the probe location but does not move along Z axis. It just awaits probe signal. 2) I remap the e-stop to be probe and after manually locating the 0 of the surface, hit the e-stop indicating that ...

Hi guys, I was wondering if it is possible to do manual probing without having physical probe. Pretty much what I want to do is at the probed locations jog until material is hit and set probed Z to zero at that location. To illustrate my problem a little more: The CNC I have doesn't have a probe and...
