CNC Drawing Machine
Hey I followed DIY Machine’s CNC DRAWING MACHINE tutorial …
However, I think it’s setup right but it doesn’t fully move like it should. I dunno if it’s the way I personally set it up or the hardware/plugins. I did the dupoint connectors myself and they are a bit wiggly but it still moves the X axis but I got no idea why it doen’t move the Z axis or Y axis.
Any ideas? I know i cant physically bring it to someone but it does move the X but not all the way to the right and doesnmt even try with the Y and Z

it didnt work but here
link to the tutorial.
what board do you have
what version of grbl
@blup and never do screen shots of stuff.
Just copy and paste the text

the ver of grbl is from the tutorial and the board is a cnc shield on top of elegoo uno

Ok - you have set the current on the controller boards ?
@blup You say one axis works - the other does?
Have you tried
A. swap the cables - see if the other axis works if swapped
B. Swap the sriver boards - see if the other axis works
Yeah the X works but not the Y motor ive been taking it out and switching places w it
So you swapped the steppers
what happenned -?
Oh no i mean like flipping the plugin
I have it plugged in but is it not right
If you need to rotate the connector, if you look at it, on the side they have little catches
You can push the wire in a bit, then gentle push the catch in, you can then remove the connector from the housing.
you can remove all the cable and swap the positions for the connector sits correctly.
Or cut off the bit on the side preventing it from sitting correctly
eg
Those are the little catches on the side. Just note - you have to push the wire in, then press the catch while pulling the wire out
I dunno It was working fine earlier but I think when I unplugged the ardiuno it stopped working even after plugging back in cuz now the X doesnt work
ok nvm it works now, but the Y still doesnt and i get what u mean but the X axis is technically not pushed all the way in cuz of two things in the way, yet works better
