Hello, I'm having some issues with my fiber placement. Trying to wind dry fiber onto a smaller spool with flanges, and the winder is dwelling on one side of the spool and not the other or will switch back and forth. Wondering if there is any modeling software that will work with the xwinder for filament winding.
-Cheers
Can anyone explain to me what the "add'l end angle" does for the winding? I have tried it at multiple settings and can't determine how the instrument is using this setting.
Hand editing of G-Code
Hallo, I saw a latest video, where a hand editing of G-Code is shown. I want to ask you, how I have to do it? I can edit it only in NotePad, but it is .txt format. XWinder works with .x2d format. Thanks

Carriage calibration 4X-23
Hi all. We have a 4X-23 X-Winder. At step 4 of the Setup wizard, we have the issue that the carriage don't move towards the limit switch after pressing the button "Go to the limit switch". Without this calibration the values of the z axis aren't correct. By manual moving the carriage (z axis) left means moving away from the limit switch, right is towards the limit switch. I think this is the way the carraige should move. Do anyone has an idea to solve this problem? Furthermore, there is no…

Hi all, I'm currently trying to set-up a trial run of the 4X-23. I've successfully run the 2x demo G-script using the 2X settings, however, I'm having issues when trialling the 4X demo script. When running the 4X script the machine correctly re-positions itself to the limit switches then proceeds to attempt to withdraw the linear carriage head (which is already fully retracted). This causes compression of the carriage head and audible clicking noise from the motor. Has anyone else encountered…

Hello. I have ordered the 2X-23 Delivery Head 4X-23 Conversion kit and am waiting for delivery. I assume there will be instructions provided with the kit but wanted to know if there any resources available to get me started prior to the arrival of the conversion kit, such as which parts to disassemble?Thanks, Brett Millermillacuda@gmail.com
