We have movement!
And have immediately run into a mechanical issue.
I never really had software or mechanical issues seeing as I built mine myself so knew it inside out. Where I did have issues was learning about the plasma, that was a wee bit of a learning curve but not too bad. Soon you will be cutting away and have forgotten all about the initial problems.We have movement!

Basically the manual is a load of ****e and made out that you plug in one or the other of these plugs into the back of the Hypertherm.Oh really!!
How did you get it moving? I do hope you get it sorted soon!
I'm guessing that bit hex bar is the stop for the carriage. Due to it coming loose, it's probably bent the cable track bracket a bit and possibly where the hex bar mounts, so it's not clearing how it should.
It's hard to see from the video, but is the hex now sitting level, and could you bend the cable track mounting down a bit to create clearance?
I wouldn't worry about the grinding noise, as that will just be the stepper stalling, and shouldn't do any damage. The machine should be designed to handle it, as the plasma torch getting caught on plate and stalling an axis or two is known to happen.
It’s a off the shelf THC a unit in there. What’s the brand? It escapes my brain.Interesting that they use the same method that I use for height sensing.

Aye but I am meaning the method of sensing. Often they are ohmic or a floating Z axis. That looks to be using a switch that is offset and operated via an air solenoid.It’s a off the shelf THC a unit in there. What’s the brand? It escapes my brain.
Oh yeah, it’s ohmic as well.Aye but I am meaning the method of sensing. Often they are ohmic or a floating Z axis. That looks to be using a switch that is offset and operated via an air solenoid.
I have only seen it used twice, originally by @Davek0974 and then by myself.
