More interesting to me: It seems you have replaced the USB cable on the Andonstar? How did you get this thing disassembled? Those Andonstar microscopes are apparently assembled with different USB cables, depending on what was available at the Shenzhen market. The microscope is tore apart here: http...

When all things are checked, one should start over by rechecking the wiring.

Mea culpa. I rerouted the limit switch cables and accidentally crossed Xmin with Xmax.


But it if of course a bit strange that hitting Xmax while homing to Xmin does not trigger an error state.

Ok, some further testing and X-homing procedure stops when the home/min switch is hit. TinyG wiki on Homing and Limits Description and Operation says : Once the switch is hit a Latch Backoff move is performed. This backs off the switch until the switch opens again. This is the repeatable zero locati...

I'm experiencing the same issue as Malte documented in github issue #3 , that is that the X-axis rams into the left side of the frame the second time "Home X" is pressed. Y-axis works ok and after homing the Y co-ordinate is set to 0.000, but for X-axis the software sets the X co-ordinate ...

Ok, so this weekend was build and test weekend. Many thanks for the hints, tips and leads. Those 3d printed stiffeners really made a difference. The source of the wobbling was finally found: I started by removing v-wheels, one by one, and with only top-side wheels mounted I tested manually/by hand t...

there is way too much wobbling on the Y-axis that need to be fixed Are you planning to add support to the maker slides or what do you mean? When building the frame I had no wobbling on the X-axis but the Y-axis did wobble and actually, quite a lot. Initially I thought that the nylon V wheels weren'...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd post some info on my build.... I've previously built 3d printers and also converted a Sieg X1 mill to CNC using HobbyCNC and CNC Fusion, so I have some basic experience. However, this is an iterative trial & error project. Assembling the mechanical parts took one long ...
