Hey Brian, I have been searching, but unable to find, the complete design to assemble with your parts. Can you provide a link? Now that I am close to wrapping up the structure, I can work on extruder. Thanks, Jayby jay - For Sale

I am having the same problem. I tried a few things: 1. Replaced the IC L297 between a working and non-working board. Does not help. IC not an issue. 2. Checked the component values, they all are in the range they should be in. (I dont know how to check the caps though). 3. While trying to check the trim-pot using supply ground as reference, I blew out a trace in the PCB, I had to add a wire to fby jay - Controllers

HEllo Cameron, Thanks for the input. I did the same, had to hold off the other board for future use.

Thanks Hazel, I used your idea of putting extra strips in to raise the bed. Also, I realised this could have been achieved by putting extra washer below the y-stage rails. Thanks, Now I have other issues, like my holes are not aligned (almost all now), so have to rehole at right place.....lol...thats minor compared to what can be achieved.... Hey any idea if we need 2 vertical base or just oneby jay - Reprappers
Mc-wire cartesian bot 1.2 - y-stage issue - 15 years ago
Hello, I am making a mc-wire 1.2 cartesian bot, and during assembly of y-stage, I am finding that bearing arm on y-stage is touching the x-stage such that y-stage does not lie perfectly flat on aluminum rails. I tried removing the washers from the bearing arm but still the whole thing does not look robust (now the bearing arm is interrupting the whole motion of y-stage). Please help me here.
