Try playing around with moving the machine. You can jog the machine in the direction you want within the “Jog
Control” section on the right side. Choose the distance to move with each click by changing the “XY move” or “Z
move” values, the movement speed with “Speed”, or just press and hold the buttons for continuous movement.
gSender also has defaults for large, medium, and small movements that you can switch between by pressing the
“Rapid”, “Normal”, and “Precise” buttons. It’s alive!
If you prefer inches instead of millimeters you can switch over using the gear icon on the top right of the gSender
window. In these settings you’ll see a toggle to switch your units.
Things will still be a bit loose right now since we haven’t yet tuned up the movement of the machine, but tuning
will be the next step and knowing how to move the machine around will be important for when we mount it to a
table. While we’re here, take a moment to move each axis to each extreme while checking that the drag chains are
reaching to all corners; especially for the y-axis. Don’t be shy moving around, if you hear electronic music that’s
normal and if you hear a grinding noise when you hit the limits that’s normal as well.
