Output Plot is different from .svg preview in mDraw


#1

Hi there!

I´m new to MAKEBLOCK and the Forum.
Maybe some People can help me with my issue.
I bought the MAKEBLOCK XY - Plotter and downloaded mDraw.
Everything works fine, beside the fact that the Output Picture has
nothing to do with the preview in mDraw.

To Show you my Problem, I put a screenshot from mDraw and
the drawing result here in the post.

I don´t know what is wrong. I chechked evrythind 2-3 times…
Any ideas there…?
Thanks a lot for your help!!!

It looks like the belt tension is wrong on the verticals, or there is some resistance in that carriage movement. The side-to side lines are all the same width and all start at the same position, but in a couple of places they aren’t spaced vertically correctly. Try setting the belt tension for the suspect direction to the same as for the good direction.

Having the belts too tight can be as bad as having them too loose.

Hi Adrian,

thanks for your Response.
It turned out that the clutch of the Y-Stepper Motor was not tight enough.
When printing I saw that the Motor was turning but not the drive shaft.
