Sorry for the very slow reply guys! Been a busy week or so. So, I tried creating another Gcode file to test with a simple ring. It came out really well. I think I need to actually calibrate my axes instead of using the calculations as my gauge of the cut says they are a tiny bit off, but that is no biggie. It came out "perfectly" round. I have tried that original file a few times now and each time it messes up towards the end, but a slightly different way each time. Is it possible to have a corrupt file? It only messes up in the X axis. From what I see when watching Y and Z stay pretty perfect. Could it be losing steps due to the bearings being too tight? I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and loosen them up a bit and run the program again. Its just weird that the circle file seemed to work for me.
