Exciting times!
It moves!
It cuts!
All axises functioning, but my z-axis may be Australian! When setting up to define zero, I’m able to get there, but the raise and lower buttons do the opposite! I’m using one of the motor/gearboxes that are normally used for the chains, and have it properly(ish) configured for depth adjustments. My only issue is that my up is down and vice versa. Instead of travelling at a 4mm safe height, I plough through 4mm deep. Credit to the Yonico triple flute up cut bit, it didn’t break and despite leaving tearout that could be used to scrub pans cut reasonably well!
If anyone can save me from getting the wire strippers out by coming up with a quick soft-fix, I’d be most grateful.
Turn the router upside down? well, no…
Is yours a Maslow z-axis kit? If not, some motors from other suppliers have the M+ and M- reversed. If that’s the case, use a negative number for the z-axis travel distance to solve your issue. If it’s a Maslow z-axis, not sure how that could happen…
No, changing that one value is the only accommodation you’ll need to make. After that a negative value for Z in a gcode will lower the bit toward or into the material, as you would expect.
Hi.
New machine going and all excited.
I have how ever modified a router to adjust Z. and get the same problem.
I am not able to insert a minus to reverse movement and just imagine that it will be a problem getting to “home 0”.
I do not find anywhere in Underground where the direction can be changed.
Hi @Hannes, the support for GroundControl seems to get thin here. Most users recommend switching to webcontrol now. However you should be able to add a minus cklicking on “Settings” and reverse the direction with adding the minus or removing it under “Z-Axis” pitch. Kind regards, Gero
well, no…
