    Life has kept me out of the shop for the past couple of months, but I am hoping to get back in there over the next couple of weeks. I have a few things to work through:

    1) Try to isolate the reasons for the jerky motion that I am getting with certain passes on some operations. It is related to the G-code using very short moves, but the fix could be related to UCCNC settings or other things. There have been alot of suggestions above that I still need to try. (See post #158 of this thread)

    2) Try to figure out why I am getting consistent shallow ridges across my parts in a direction along the X-axis. This would appear to be related to some sort of repeatable inaccuracy in the gantry movement, but I don't know if it is mechanical, electro-mechanical, or software related.

    3) I have designed some dust shields that I will post pictures of once I have them improved a little. My initial attempt did not work out quite as I had hoped.

    4) I am planning to install an Xbox controller for jogging the machine. This appears to be pretty straight-forward, but I haven't had a chance to dive into it yet.

    Finally, I wanted to post link to another thread that rcmcdee started with a very similar build. I don't know if any major new issues will come up, but the build is similar enough that it would be worth having some future reader look at it.

    Hi Robert,
    Would you be willing to share your current UCCNC configuration with me. We are finally ready to get the machine in motion and I thought your configuration could be a good place to start.

    TIA,
    Robb

    As rcmcdee has been working on his machine, he found a few issues with a couple of my diagrams. He noticed that the Step and Direction wire colors going into the MB2 are reversed, and I noticed that I had Pins 13 and 14 reversed on the main contactor. This last issue won't really cause any problems, but I updated it for posterity.
