Just doubled the values on $112 and $122 as recommended and the nasty grinding sound stopped. Thanks for the info and helping out the newbies like me. ---

Greetings Do I need to lubricate the new z axis upgrade to reduce the noise.? It is not referred anywhere in the instructions nor some grease is included like in the original x carve Thanks ---

Hello sir. I haven’t messed with my XCarve in almost a year. Where and how do you change these settings please? ---

Munawar, log into Easel, open a project, and click on Machine. Once open, go to General Settings and finally Machine Inspector. There will be a console line where you then type in the $112, $122 setting. The key is that you must have a machine set up in Easel to do this. For example, if you have two computers and only one is actually set up in Easel with the Carve, that is the one you must use to change the $ settings. ---
