Did the step 8 of 9 cut test get randomized?
I’m seeing some really wild swings in where the cuts are being made, also they start to cut more and more at an angle. Usually the cuts are pretty close to each other, and offset by a little bit, and horizontal to the floor but these are off by a lot and each cut appears to angle clockwise more each cut.
Typically I am good to go by the 3rd cut at 605ish mm, but I’ve just done the 3rd cut and its 49mm difference between the horizontal and vertical measurements.
The difference in distance from the top left of the first cut to the second was 305mm. The difference in distance from the top left second to third cut is 85mm. This is not the behavior I’ve seen previously.
I noticed this “One Machine Position Report Command Misread” every so often during the calibration cuts, here is snippet from the command line output:
Sending: G40
Sending: G0 Z5
Sending: G0 X0 Y0
Sending: G17
Sending: G0 X36 Y-36
One Machine Position Report Command Misread
Sending: G91
Sending: G0 X-300 Y300
Sending: G1 Z-7 F500
It finally got to the same distance horizontally and vertically (615mm), it took 9 re-cuts to get there.
Also now that I think about it, the previous step moved the “center” when the left and right chains are let out and you hook up the sled, but it was well below and to the left of where the center should have been.
The cuts are angled a little like they are twisted clockwise by a couple degrees. I don’t have time to cut anything tonight to see if anything adverse happened, but if anyone has any ideas on what could possibly be going wrong, please let me know.
The cuts used to stair step down and to the right, but my cuts were:
#1 in the usual place, squared off from the frame
#2 way left and way down from #1, also angled clockwise a few degrees
#3 up and right of #2, still angled
#4 up and right of #3, still angled
#5 up and to the right of #4, still angled
#6 down and to the right of #5, still angled
#7 down and to the right of #6, still angled
#8 down and to the right of #7, still angled
#9 down and to the right of #8, still angled
