I know that I have asked this before but our school has a tendancy to re-image our computers every so often and I loose my programs. So again I need to install Designer again but can't find the posts...

I just had the Y gear box apart a week ago looking for wear because of Y axis stall error I was getting. It was in good shape and once put back together it worked fine till this new error came up. I...

I have never had this one come up before. During a carve the machine will pause and say to clean the Y axis and press start to continue. I am using a dust extractor so there is nothing on the Y rail...

If I use a sled to carry the board through the CarveWright do you have to use the thickness of the sled and project board combined in the design software board settings.

Ok, bearing turns smooth and shaft/gear assembly spins freely and smoothly in bearning (took motor off so small gear was out of the way to test). I took the cover off the back side to expose encoder...

The gears seem to mesh fine and rotates smoothly.
Where is the encoder disc you speak of? I will check it.

Ok. I have taken the Y gear box off and inspected the gear and shaft shown above. The shaft does not "look" as worn as the one above but when shaft is in bearing and I push on the plastic hear it...

Ok. Under your definitions I would say the sounds I hear are thwacks. I get three of them when the cutter moves to the bit plate the first time then it touches the plate. Then it does the process...

So the clicks the first time the bit goes to the plate are normal and the fact that I don't get the clicks the second time means there is something wrong?

What a confusing machine. LOL

To tighten the belt tension do you simply loosen that screw on top and manually push the assembly sideways and retighten the screw? I have been getting the same error and have cleaned the machine...

Got it. Thanks for the help.

I have been trying to get a design set the way I want and not having any luck. There are two arc, shaped like a heart. I want to cut them as a cut path but can't get that option to be available. Can...

For those who helped... student was happy with the result.

Its going fine but not done yet. Having to do it in stages. Its nearly a 12 hour run so I have to pause it and restart. Should finish up tomorrow.

Ok. The project is running. Its going to be a long carve, 11+ hours. But its running now so that is a victory. Thanks everyone for the help.

Yes, its up agains the board.

And to answer someone elses question... I have the original chuck still. I have two carving bits and the first one I tried it with I noticed was a little longer than the other. So I tried the second...

Chief that is exactly what I was going for. Thanks for the help.

The .25 is on purpose. The result I am after is the upper 2/3 (aprox) will just have the letters showing and the background will be gone. The lower 1/3 of the background will still there there to...

Just posted it.

Trying to run a new project and keep getting error at end of set up telling me the cut is deeper than the board thickness. First off, I have had cuts go all the way through a board before with no...

I read through the information on the link to the first reply I got and see what I will need to do. Thanks for all the input.

I asked if I could keep the old laptop. It is currently my administrative computer (grades, attendance and school related files) but I was doing to clean my stuff off of it and deligate it as student...

I have been informed I will be getting a new laptop over summer break (I'm a teacher). This is great news but since I can't keep the old one I will have to install Designer again (and all the updates...

Just finished up my first project since having this problem and removing and cleaning up the z axis truck. I also made sure I followed the 7" rule (and then some) and keep project under the rollers....
