So I finally broke down a got a plotter, albeit a cheap one. Expected it would give me some issues along the way but figured I’d at least get a piece or two cut before that happened.
I bought this off someone local and the best I could tell it had never been used or even taken out of the box. But it definitely has an issue with the carriage, not sure if this is indicative of the cheapness or it was mishandled somewhere along the way.
There is a grinding and vibration coming from the carriage whenever it tries to track left or right but it usually won’t move. Sometimes it does but it will go the opposite direction then what I’m telling it. If I place my finger on the side it will usually track smoothly with just the slightest pressure.
Anyone seen a similar issue? Can’t really find anything directly related to this....
