    Creation station owner here, was a kickstarter project. Pretty good mechanical and pricepoint. They made their own controller and parts issues has made me purchase a tinyg controller and trying to get the correct setup with tinyg. Is anyone familiar with this cnc and if so any pointers for setup pointers?

    I wandered a bit on their website.

    Looks like a ball-screw machine with Nema 23 motors, I am going to assume 4 motors but did not actually see the Y axis motors

    Key info you need to provide for tinyG setup :
    Ball Screw Travel per revolution – for Setting X,Y and Z $_tr
    Stepper steps per revolution – 200 or 400? 200 Typical ($_sa = 360/200 = 1.8deg)
    TinyG drivers only support 2,4 or 8 microsteps.

    Assuming there are steppers on each Y rail, do they counter rotate? That would likely provide the best performance, implies Y motors one each normal and reverse polarity.

    Start here:

    Maybe start with just the Single X motor to get a feel for how parameters interact with a simple axis
