I'm still waiting on my Z pack, so I thought I'd try to get things working based on the tips on these forums.
When moving the Z-axis up and down by hand, does it require a lot of pressure to move and is the movement totally smooth and consistent over the entire length of travel? I'm putting like 7-8 pounds of pressure on it to make it move (based on a test done with my bathroom scale). It seems to have a little hitch in it about 3/4 of the way down where I have to use a little more pressure to get it past.
So, my next question is: does shop temperature affect how stiff this z-axis movement is--sort of like how you can't crank the head down when your shop is too cold? It just seems like if your shop was 75 degrees, this unit would seem to work better.
Thank you. Any opinions?
