Basic Mach3 configuration data
Confused and frustrated
Stepcraft 420 with mach3
I read on here that ideal steps per Unit in motor tuning is 133.333333.
I tested this on a 8cm square profile job. Result: x-axis= 8 cm, but the y-axis=8.7.
I went then to the section settings where there are steps per unit set button to help you test how each axis moves per unit.
x and z are okay, but moving y double than its command.
Mach 3 suggests automatically adjust it and we have the half of steps per unit for the y-axis, so 66.6.
I then tested and found my square with x = 8, y = 4.4
What happens?
Hello,
I have seen that you used to have a *.xml for your stepcraft 3D printing. Can you send it to me too if you stil have it?
Thank you in advance

Here's my Dropbox foder with some usefull basic Mach3 configuration XMLs for various Stepcraft machines. Addionally you find a 3D print XML for a 420. Hope it helps:

Hello, would You be so kind to share mach3 profile for 840 stepcraft?

You will also find the Stoney configuration there. But keep in mind Mach3 is outdated and gets no service any more. I am on Mach4 with my M500 and works perfectly.
