Hi!
Our x-axis seems to be a bit wobbly, see here:
The lines in the image should be perfectly parallel to each other. The image is zoomed in quite a bit, the distance between the lines is 3mm.
If we do the same pattern with the lines beeing parallel to the y-axis, the lines look perfectly parallal at this zoom-level.
There is no loss of steps or similar, we can cut a big object and the start and end point is the same again. It must be some kind of slackness somewhere on the x-axis. We already completely dismantled the pulley and cleaned the guide wheels and so on. I am at a loss what the problem could be.
IMO it can't be unevenness of the x-axis itself, if that would be the case the wobblyness of the lines whould be parallel to each other.
Does anyone have an idea what could be going on?

Re: wobbly x-axis
Hey probably not applicable to this, but I recently had a wobbly problem too, it turns out the lens wasn't being held snugly by the holder and was giving me a woble on the x axis, I guess the y runs more smoothly. I lasered a card ring for it to sit in and it stopped it nicely. although it looks like your cutting ali or similar, which I'd hope your machine was a lot better engineered than my little 40 watter.
