"Hi Henry,
I encountered a similar problem when I set up my machine.  I didnt run that demo scrpt however I would check the "head offset" number. It should be set to the distance you want the front roller from the mandrel to avoid it hitting. Keep…"

Aaron Lederhose replied to gary michalak's discussion torque adjustments
"No problem Gary,
The tension setting will change on the winding angle. Even as the diameter increases the tension can change on the same winding angle because you essentially have more friction to hold your windings in place.

Aaron Lederhose replied to gary michalak's discussion torque adjustments
"Hi Gary,
I will try to answer all of your questions.

I then setup my CNC…"

"Hi,
Are your control boards showing up as devices in Windows device manager? If they are all there then there is an issue else where.  If they do not show up then there is a problem with your usb connections."

Aaron Lederhose replied to Marco Sun's discussion filaments slip off delivery head
"Hi Marco,
I had this problem as well and I fixed it in a few ways. 
1. The winding angle might be to great for your mandrel/setup (ie lower than 35 degrees)
2. The delivery head might be to far away from the mandrel.  I have mine set as close as…"
