eOrbo replication 2 update 10

No Comments

Yesterday I took the machine apart to adjust the x, y and z axes. This is finished and I found that two ball bearings need to be replaced. After assembling the machine again it would not start. This threw me off balance and I needed to find a quiet place for some moments. Eventually I disconnected the three stepper motors from the drivers and reconnected them one at a time. It worked, but I don’t know why. It is an indication that I have an electrical problem somewhere. When the machine was running again I was touching the bare metal of the machine and noticed a tingling sensation in my fingers whenever the x axis was running. (I am extremely sensitive to this and often feel this tingling when touching a wire from a USB port.) It is interesting to note that the random moves always happen on the very same x axis.
