Losing Steps?

Losing Steps?
November 25, 2019 12:40PM
I need a little help please. I purchased one of the 3018 desktop cmc machines.
I've done everything I know of to try and get the Z axis to calibrate. GRBL V 1.1h.
It came setup with 800 steps on X,Y and Z. For X and Y this works fine. But for Z
it would only move 0.5mm. So I changed the number of steps ($102) to 1600.
This works as long as I keep the feed rate under 500. If I change the feed rate to 600
then tell the Z to move 10mm it will momentarily stall during the move. It will start to move,
stop for a second and then continue the move. When the is happens the distance of the
move is incorrect. If I change $102 back to 800 this does not happen but Z only moves 1/2 half of what it should.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you correct it.

... you have to reduce the acceleration and eventually the speed too for Z ...

Solved.

VDX - Yes - thanks, I finally found some good information, apparently I've been trying to overdrive the steppers. Thanks again.
