i am just starting to use a romer arm. i have used PC-dmis for 5 years but am looking for tips on how to use the leapfrog alignment. any tips would be great and no matter how trivial you might think they will be helpful. thanks in advance
You can also use something as cheap as some hex nuts from a hardware store and hot glue them in place. The one thing to know is that you will get some stackup error when using leapfrog and that error grows the more leapfrogging that you do. The other bad thing is if i remember correctly if you make a mistake leapfrogging there is a really good chance that you will have to start your program over if it is in the middle. I avoided leapfrogging at all costs just because I didn't want to deal with the extra error. It is not a bad feature as it does give you "room to grow" but try to avoid using it if you cant afford the additional error or you are trying to minimize it. There is a good chance if you take a couple extra minutes in the setup you can find a good spot to place the arm so that you can avoid that step.
