MPCNC squaring the trucks and core

If you are interested in great design from V1 Engineering and for some reason want to watch a guy say Umm and fumble with the camera a fair bit talking about all the ways I messed up my build and redid things then this is the video for you!

I was struggling a bit with my build to get square but you're video gave a very good insight on how to properly square it

I am glad it helped, I had a hard time getting my head around it as well at first so thought it would be good to share.

Great job. What kind of a connection did you use for mirroring the x-axis steppers?

[@sparks-tech]

Thanks. I have independent drivers for each motor on this board.

Thanks this is very helpful! Do you happen to have a link to the pictures you were using to square the trucks? I am just now starting to assemble mine.

[@sparks-tech]

The images are from the V1 Engineering website. Found here: docs.v1engineering.com/mpcnc/squaring/

@@sparks-tech Thank you! Looking forward to more of your videos!

[@johncole5175]

This helped alot! Thanks for taking the time!

[@sparks-tech]

Glad it helped. I am really enjoying my MPCNC. I am just working on getting a laser setup on it now.

@@sparks-tech I'd love to see some stuff on that! Currently have removed my core for the third time and rewatching your video! I thingk the problem was with the trucks! I'm more confident that I got them squared this time then any other. I think the racking was giving me false readings...

Hi, sadly in the newer Version of the V1 Instructions is the Step missing, you showed in the Video. Ich was trying for DAYS to get my mpcnc in square... I was very frustrated. But with your Video. i was finally able to get everything done within the 1mm. Thank you SO MUCH!!! Greetings from Germany ;)

I am so glad that it helped. I am really enjoying my MPCNC but yes some things were more frustrating than I thought it would be. Glad I could share something useful.

jesus, the instructions provided on his site do not explain this very well at all

[@sparks-tech]

Yeah I found that to be the worst part. Hope this helped a bit. Enjoy the build process it’s a great way to learn about the machine.
