    Hi all,

    I present my name is Pierre, French architect. I'm new owner of a Phlatprinter 3. I just finished building the machine a few days ago and I am having trouble with the X axis and more precisely the pressure rollers :think: :think: :think: : indeed, a deadlock occurs regularly on the X axis with the sheet of Depron . Without the sheets no problem. Initially I thought it was one of a pressure roller which was folded (which is true), not right. But finally I also think not having enough power (torque)to the motor X that I can stop easily with my fingers blocking the two rollers. I think there is also friction on two large steel rollers with gripp as they rotate without engines (I'm surprised not to see in these places some bearings :( ). I can be I missed something in the building? Thank you for helping me because I still have not cut a few interresting things for now.

    http://www.theflatmanufactory.com to see my cnc design work (i was a Mechmate owner before ...).I have worked too with Shopbot for the 2010 Makefaire in NY.

    Peter.

    PS: Regarding my position on the map of France of the owners of machine, I'm next to Toulouse and has not Monaco

    Pier, I looked at your second video and it looks to me like you are running the x axis at way to high speed. Set the speed to 50 ipm (inch per minute) or 130 cmp (centimeter per minute) and see if the problem still happens.

    Yeah it is trying to move way too fast. Slowing it down should help a lot.
