shapeoko 2 1M x1M help

[op117]

after up grading my 250mmx250mm shapeoko to a 1Mx1M my Y axis is skipping at high feeds.
the way it skips is like it walk left / right thin loses it place on a job when i run a lower feed in the same job.

whats the best way to fix this?

the belts are tight.

skips after 30 in/min

could not find right threads for the old 2 any more or help threads

You may need to reduce feed rates and/or acceleration.

For the larger machines, I believe that 9mm wide belts are a big help.

[op117]

what causes the belts to jump not enough tooth's catching or are the belts flexing?

[WillAdams]

The SO2 doesn't have as much belt engagement as the SO3, and the longer belt means that belt tension will vary more at the center.

the belts are right and i adjusted the motor power a little thinking it was that but no luck
any ideas?

also it done this before the 9mm upgrade

If it's the Y axis...what I'm taking to mean the axis with the two Nema17's driving it, then you might have a mismatch in belt tension between the two. Park your Y axis somewhere in the middle of the rail and pluck each belt like a string. Listen to see if they're basically the same pitch. If not, adjust until they are. Just my humble opinion...
