Optical Calibration Demo and Three Hours Working on a Bug

I enabled interpolation and did a cut for a friend who is building a table that folds into a wall.

Overall it came out great. The y dimension was spot on to within my ability to measure (whereas my previous cuts were off 3-6mm in the y dimension). The width at the top of the work piece was also spot on to within my ability to measure. The bottom width came up 1/16" short of the expected 29.5". I’m wondering if this could be related to chain sag since more chain is fed out at the bottom. My camera holder has been way lighter than the router, so it’s possible that has an effect. Overall, though, it’s the most accurate cut I’ve made on my maslow :tada:

My BBs came in the mail today, so I can add weight my camera holder. I wasn’t able to get it exactly the weight of the router (~5.9lb) but much much closer than it was. I’ll run another calibration with this heavier camera mount and see if I get any difference.
