My small circles are not smooth, they look jagged. My X and Y drivers are set at 2000 steps.
Any suggestions on how to get them smoother?
This is a DIY build with a Ruida 6445G Controller.
Thank you all!
That’s something that’s likely easier to diagnose if we see a photo of the result. It wont be about the stepper driver setting. Mechanical problems are most likely but a photo would help diagnose.
They look a little flat on the sides like maybe there’s some x axis play.
And maybe it’s just the flatness on the sides but they look like they might be kind of narrow anyway.
If you run a 10" square does it really measure exactly 10" on each side?
Created a 12in x 12in square. I seem to be about .5mm out of square.
Is that enough to do it?
Wil this cause circles not to meet up correctly as well?
Thanks Hank!
I do seem to be a little off from 12". Im using 300mm x 300mm but i got 303mm x 302mm.
Going to enter correction tomorrom and try again.
Thats hat it was Hank. I was off a bit. Used a 300mm square. Circles look much better now.
Thank you!
Awesome!
Now it’s time to make some cool stuff. 
Yes sir, my daughter is already designing stuff.
She has a bachelor’s from MassArt she is so excited.
Thanks again Hank I’m sure there will be other problems that will crop up.
I have no doubt. I’ve had mine over 2 years now and there’s STILL problems that crop up. Sometimes machine problems, sometimes operator problems.
Still learning…
Patiently waiting to see some of the stuff your daughter makes. 
Will definitely post on LB.
