Hi guys, greetings from Italy.
I've recently built the C-Beam machine, and after some unsatisfactory runs I've decided to tear it apart and reassemble it more carefully. I have zero experience in machining, and my knowledge in the CNC world is limited to 3D printers (which are far less demanding from a mechanical point of view) and a very small router for milling PCBs.
My question is: how much backlash should I expect from a well-tuned machine, especially in the X and Y axes? Despite my...
Acceptable backlash in C-Beam machine?
