- jacquesm 10y agoEncoders allow you to correct for lost steps, but you'll still be off the intended toolpath. And over/undershoot / oscillation are well known artifacts of a cable based system, it all depends on the length of the cables and how elastic they are and how fast you're moving. It's a tricky combination to get right, I've seen one project like this canceled because of repeat accuracy issues but that may not be so important for everyone (signage for instance, or art projects may be quite forgiving).
