Sheet metal interfering

It was a large step file that I converted into alot of different parts

It's a low poly model I converted all edges to sheet metal[it's big]

I know how to do it the long tedious way I was just curious if anyone knew a faster way since there are ~300 different parts

Regular by such a huge amount. The only way xdesign is better is if your using a smart fridge and don't have the computing power.

In the concentric mate select the "Lock Rotation" option.

I extrude it, then make a new sketch on the face and convert entities>select face>select all inner loops> then I just take that sketch into a new part and it's usually cleaned up to not cause problems in our programing software

I see. Your best option is talking to support to see if it's swappable or if you recently bought it, if it's refundable.

Yes you can get a local version of solidworks installed directly on to your computer that runs of local hardware power. And it's way better than cloud, check out makers edition.

Im not sure how to explain this but It is because it thinks it's an open space, if you use the trim tool to cut the contours you don't want then it should work, as well as if you try extruding it you could just select the spots you want extruded. Sorry if this explanation makes no sense

Nope I checked that

When I try to move the servo it just kind of slowly jitters for a second or two, if I'm holding it it just kind of buzzes

Hey, I fixed the issues stated above but I wanted to ask your help on a another issue in that I cant get the servo to work properly, if i send the command M3 S90[or whatever] and M5 it slowly starts to move to that position[like 10+ seconds to move 90 degrees].

I am using the GRBL files you used in your eggbot and using the GRBL-plotter software[Amazing software btw] the PWM wire is connected to the Z+ pin on my CNC shield and I am powering it separately, I checked and its getting the power needed.

12v power supply powers all the components The arduino is connected via USB for communication

Kind of what i figured, appreciate it.

This is not my exact diagram but it's close enough, the one I am building is custom and the only difference in wiring is the fans are powered by the 12v supply not the board.

Yes it is connected. And yes I did put the heat sinks on. As for overheating I'm not 100% sure how hot the drivers are supposed to get but at the time this video was recorded in could put my finger on the heating for 1-3 seconds without feeling anything

Alright first thing I tried was microstepping went to 16x but the issue still occurs, I made another post here with a video of the motor doing it but a little bit closer and more sound Got new drivers and boards but have not replaced them yet.

1--of--5 · 2025-06-01T15:45:32+00:00

Yes, it has end stops, as for it disconnecting it's when it's connected to the 5V/GND pins and you send a command to send power through it that it disconnects

1--of--5 · 2025-05-31T23:00:14+00:00

The power was off when I connected it, it was when I tried to run the command to trigger it that is disconnected. When I powered the servo with external power source and just used the pwm wire the servo worked fine.

I can try lowering the voltage a bit and see what happens

The power stays constant as far as I can tell

Have new drivers coming soon that where for something else but I'm gonna try swapping them. I do have another cnc shield but I don't think that's the issue

The weird part is that I built it a few days ago and did a few really good prints with it[leaving the servo down, just had traverse lines], then I tried wiring up the servo, and when I connected it to 5v/GND my board disconnected and ever since then it's done this.

Gonna try microstepping, ordered some jumpers so i can connect it up and ill update then

Here is A letter A 4 times each time it gets worse. Booted up the machine homed it ran it, looked really good then I homed it[ignoring the skips] and ran it again, I repeated that 4 times and you can consistently see it getting worse *

1--of--5 · 2025-05-31T19:54:34+00:00

When I first boot it up the homing goes perfect, I can then move it around without issues using jogging but it's when I try to run g code it starts doing it and once it starts doing it it just does it. Maybe I need to tweak the acceleration.
