Re: Z Axis issues

I have tested the HD5 and recommend that the x and y axis be lubed every 30 hours. It can go longer in a dust free environment.

You could try on a small program such as a circle, square, triangle the "CNCShark-USB_Arcs_inch.pp" for imperial or "CNCShark-USB_Arcs_mm.pp" to see how they perform.

You are so right that the Shark is not rigid and yes you cannot push the machine. But with the right adjustments/settings you can produce acceptable projects. When I was researching...
