Way to go, that is awesome.
Thank you
If I am seeing this correctly, you are doing this with the stock sled layout and old kinematics, not with triangular kinematics.
It’s good to get reminded those of us striving for perfection that the stock machine can be used to cut out very interesting projects that require a fair bit of precision.

it gets even more interesting, the whole machine is hand built out of parts with the wrong count encoders so there has been some compromises made for accuracy…the first time I got the cut head to go one direction and then to return to the same spot awesome.

Did you make the file for the pattern yourself? Buy? Download? Etc?
I bought and downloaded it from Etsy.The cut files didn’t work out for me because I have a wobbly 1/8" bit adapter and the bit cuts more like 3/16.I used the PDF and made a cut file in V-carve .

Design files for something like this would be super easy to push out of Rhino3D in conjunction with the grasshopper plugin. Nice job… meowwww!
