CNC 2417 loses x-axis
I have a 2417 3-axis mini CNC with an Arduino Nano (the typical Ali-Express-Setup).
G-code is sent by grblControl Software recommended by the Manufacturer.
My problem is that I lose the movement of the x-axis. In the beginning, it works (or does not), then somewhen during the program it started to skip steps. I replaced the power adapter (from the one my colleague tried the machine with – too small) to a 12V 5A 60W one.
During my first try with the new setup, everything worked but only in the air. When I sent the spindle down to the wood to carve, the x-axis no longer responded to the G-code. The same happened once during my tests with the y-Axis, but usually, it’s with the x.
Is there any direction I have to go with this? Other software (which ones)? Even stronger power adapter? Is something broken? Change the connections to the motors?
I have no idea, thank you for any input you give!!!
For clarification, what did the machine’s customer/user support say about this issue?
Also, would you happen to have a link to the product page? Might be able to get a better idea of the problem once we see the specific details about the mini CNC.
