I've looked at just about everything and have taken a number of measures to eliminate losing position on my machine. As I'm continuing to try to eliminate this problem, one thing I noticed that I hadn't before is that my X motors are snugged up to the absolute top of the motor bolt tracks where the mounting bolts are attached. This is not the case on my Y and Z motors, there is about 1/4" - 1/2" left in the bolt tracks to spare after snugging them up. That said, what if the X motor tracks were cut too short and I'm not getting enough force / torque from the pinion to the gear rail and getting some occasional slippage as a result of this!
A few questions. Anyone know how I could test this theory without having to do the following? Anyone have any recommendations in how I would approach cutting / extending the length of these tracks an additional 1/8" - 1/4" to rule this one out? Is this advisable? Could this affect quality if not done correctly? I have a 2009 48X96 PRS Standard.
