That was my thought. I have a new one on order and I have a friend that owns a 2 way radio shop so I'll check with him to see if he has one I can borrow until my new one comes in. More later. Thanks!
So I found a meanwell power supply locally but it puts out 27 volts. Would that be within the capabilities of the black box controller to handle?
RSP-320-27 https://www.meanwell-web.com/content/files/pdfs/productPdfs/MW/RSP-320/RSP-320-spec.pdf top of page 3 4th column over. says voltage range can be adjusted from 26-31.5
Was hoping it would adjust to 24v. Turn it all the way down as low as it would go, should still be fine. The onboard fan is 24v so keep an eye on it. Rest should be fine, onboard capacitors are 35v
SUCCESS! I was able to finally run a gcode file and it came out mostly correct. Only thing I am seeing now is weird stairstep lines down the sides of each letter using a v bit. I am of the opinion that, from what I can see, the 1/2" 60 degree vbit from Freud may not be a good choice for this. I've not seen anyone else using that type of bit. However, this is all issues for a different thread, since the original problem is RESOLVED!!! A resounding THANK YOU to all who were willing to assist!
Great! Stairsteps point to 2 things 1 - the bit is not exactly 60 degrees, or your software has not accounted for the size of the flat spot on the end. 2 - tram, ie the Z axis is not square in both directions to X and Y
i don't think it's the tram on the z axis. it's pretty much identical down both sides of each letter. i would think if tram was the issue it would be on one side and not the other. also, the way my z axis is built, i don't think i have any adjustment for that. if i need to have, then i may be out of luck. i'm trying it with a different bit tonight, as the bit i was using had a rounded tip, although it's not supposed to that i can find, so i'm guessing i got a damaged bit. note to self, check the tip of v bits before purchasing to make sure someone hasn't mishandled them in the store!
