My Saturday appointment rescheduled so I had the day to spend in the shop. I decided to cut out the lettering for my Merry Christmas sign. I got the Merry part with out any problems and then half way through the second et of letter (it spells Chris) I heard a loud pop and then the sound of the pinion skipping teeth on the rack. This is what I ended up with.
The Y axis somehow got loose and jumped on the rails one motors got ahead of the other. I spent the rest of the afternoon tearing apart the machine and getting it all aligned. I will finish re assemble it tomorrow do some testing. Maybe I can finish cutting out he letters. I don't have enough MDF so I'll start over using 1/2 plywood.
