Is there a trick to synchronizing both sides of the y axis? I have a rod running through the gantry, and 3mt pulleys on either side…how do you get the motors and pulleys aligned on both sides so the gantry doesn’t rack? I’m having a weird issue where it moves smoothly in one direction when jogging with Mach3, but does not in the other, like there is too much resistance on one side…
Could you share a video of it? I normally can tell by seeing and listening to it?
I actually sorted it out, thanks! Was the slaving and reversing of one motor…Mach3 wasn’t doing it properly, so I joined both drivers to the same output on the motion card, and reversed the polarity of outputs from one driver. Working well now! Appreciate you following up though!

Glad you got it sorted! I must admit, I’ve never used Mach3 or 4. I should give it ago at some point
