X-Winder

"Hi Maxime Fournier,

I am glad to see I am not the only one with these issues. I just recently I emailed the X-Winder crew about this as I am fed up with it. It has been a year since I made this post and I have yet to see any updates to the software.…"

"Is anyone still experiencing filament displacement in the L602 returns?"

"I wound another tube today with the suggested 20RPM mandrel speed and although I got a better finish, there are still some minor gaps visible. It appears it still needs to wind even slower just to get a no gap finish. 

Hopefully Turner Hunt will fix…"

"Were those gaps already there or did the filament move somehow? I will make another tube this coming weekend with the speeds tested to see if I get better results. 

Hopefully this gets fixed soon, because I would like to wind with faster speeds with…"

"I made a tube the other day with a winding angle of 20 degrees on fast speeds of 27.3 mandrel RPM and 6”/min carriage speed.

On the second layer, which is a helical layer, there were gaps. On the fourth layer which is also a helical layer, the patte…"

"William, I am shocked to even hear that the 4X-34 in 3 axis mode is even producing these gaps and cross pass of the filament. 

Tomorrow I am going to record the executor executing the g-code’s helical passes and see if the placement of the filament…"

"Hi Ben,

I have yet to fix this issue. At this point I am convinced its a source code issue. The X-Winder is not executing the G-code properly. According to Turner Hunt, the stepper controller has an 8ms delay and this is what causes it. 

I dont see…"
