Re: Problem trying to move in z-axis

Problem trying to move in z-axis

So, new Rostock MAX. Got all three stepper motors working, and running G28 has them all happily walk up to my end stops and stop. So I know I can run all three motors at once and have it work. But when I go in to the manual control, and try to adjust the Z axis at all, something near my Rambo board ...

Re: Rostock MAX Assembly: M3 x 10mm pan head screws

Indeed, I got those, but the resolution isnt great, and so I didnt see the difference in threading, especially since I dont have the actual M3s to compare. Or didnt anyway. Once you have the #4 x 3/8ths and the M3x10mm Ls side by side, its pretty obvious which is which. That said, I wonder if labels ...

Re: Rostock MAX Assembly: M3 x 10mm pan head screws

Thanks cambo3d, that certainly would explain why they wont catch. Unfortunately I simply dont have any other screws that even come close to the right size. Off to the hardware store.

Re: Rostock MAX Assembly: M3 x 10mm pan head screws

Thanks for this picture, helped me find these screws as well. Unfortunately, the problem Im having is that these screws are like... 1mm too short to actually bind to the stepper motors through the board. Before I go buying longer screws and trying to cut them to the right size, is there something I ...
