I finally got my Malsow4 working after months and a zillion hours of troubleshooting. I did my first test cut today of an 8” circle, while it looked like a circle, it was terribly inaccurate. My brief moment of elation was crushed. The g file was created in Fusion. The y axis was off by 1/8” and X as much as 1/4”. It has all the current updates and passed the calibration test. Appreciate any help trying to resolve this.

The first thing that I would recommend is just to run the anchor point finding again. It will build on the values that it found the first time and get a more accurate fix on where they are
Thanks, I ran Find Anchors three times. Checking it each time. The results are actually worse. It no longer looks like a circle. Y is off by a full 1/4”, X by 1/2”. This is on an 8” circle.

It might be worth deleting your maslow.yaml file entirely and starting fresh. I’m not sure what’s giong on, but I’m betting that it’s faster to start over than to figure it out.
Sadly that resulted in more problems. I deleted yaml and then calibrated. Seems like it was working. Ran my test, it locked after running and would not reconnect. Couldnt do anything. I cycle power and now I get Error:3. Still locked. Deleted Yaml again, restarted. Same. Will not accept any commands. See serial log on startup.

This looks like the same problem I had when running V1.13, Bar found some problems with the firmware. Try this version:

you can’t just delete the maslow.yaml, you need to upload the default one for
the version you are running. That may be fixed in the lastest that Bar uploaded
this weel.

i uploaded the latest yaml file. No change, so reloaded the latest firmware. That at least allowed me to recalibrate the machine. Now I am getting an error 22. on any attempt to jog. Sooooo frustrating.

Soo, after yesterday’s frustration, I was about to trash the whole deal. Then I tried one more time this morning. It allowed me to recalibrate and it seemed to work. Test cut was off by an 1/8” but much better. Looked like a circle at least. I adjusted the x and y multipliers, which got it dialed in very close in y . X needed a little more adjustment. Tried another run, and it stopped in mid-process with an error on a G file that it has run successfully multiple times. One of the belts was now slack. Could not get it back to working, restarted, etc, starting to get error messages again. Can’t find belt length, etc. I suppose I can recalibrate again, but not sure there is a point if it will just repeat the problem. Does yours or anyone’s run reliably?

you do not need to recalibrate unless your frame changes or you manage to
corrupt the maslow.yaml file.
However, when it has a problem and stops, you do need to detach the belts,
retract them (so that the maslow knows where the ends are), then extend them,
connect them to the anchors, and hit apply tension.
it looks (from the logs below) that you tried doing apply tension, then when
that didn’t work, did a retract all, but with the belts attached to the anchors.
that makes it think that the belts are fully retracted when they are in fact
extended and attached to the anchors.
David Lang
I wonder if adding some UI user logic as part of find anchor points to help clarify this. Ie a pop up like “ first time running find anchor points or frame size change or yaml change? Yes to continue.”
Dano
Thanks for your continued feedback. I am aware that recalibration should not be needed. But it is often the only way I can get the machine back in a responsive manner. My knees are aching from getting on the floor and detaching and reattaching. So I got it back up. Applied tension,started to jog and the lower left belt is now slack.

This is 100% the same issue that I saw. Good call @ian_ab
This error message is coming from the computer side, I think that just refreshing the page should fix it.
Is it slack all the time or just on some parts of the sheet?
It is slack when moving away from the anchor. It’s like the motor is putting out more belt than needed. It retracts properly. So there is not a problem when moving toward the anchor. The other 3 belts behave properly.
to further clarify. I becomes significantly more slack as it gets to middle and beyond. I can pull at least 6” to 12” off the reel.

Wow yeah that is super slack. That sounds like there might be something more wrong than just a calibration issue to have that much slack. Does it stay tight anywhere on the work area?
i recalibrated again, seemed better but lost communication while/after running my test g code.I had to restart to get it to connect again. Now its in unresponsive to any commands..

Does refreshing the page clear that?
I feel I am getting closer. The accuracy is within 1/16” without tweaking but I still have the problem with the slack belt from the same lower left spool. Definitely worst the farther from the anchor. It is definitely letting out too much belt while traveling. I can release tension then apply tension and it takes up the slack temporarily. Can this be fixed?
