Hi , im keen to make some architectural models amongst other things, bought this cnc machine from the guy who made it it makes a bit too much noise for me until i build a shed and get a quieter spindle also from looking at these forums i see that my machine has some problems and also 3d printers seem like they can do what i want without the noise At some point id like to get a better cnc going and though this machine hasn't got that much i can reuse so maybe it would be okay as 3d printer? on another thread i asked if i could reuse electrics and realised that it would be much simpler to get some new stuff so my plan is get- ramps board, drivers etc, heatbed, direct extruder, end stops, lcd and try to reuse atx power supply? can the standard ramps electronics run these nema 24 okay? will my MDF z axis, or bed axis catch on fire? will lead screws be too slow ? or possible to callibrate with standard software Alternative to buying these parts i could just buy a machine but not cashed up cheers in advance ben
problems with my machine- bed is bowed- but y rail itself is okay difficult to adjust bearings to rail gap guy who made machine used a design then built it bigger without re engineering it fair bit of play in machine - suprised that has been able to cut anything- usually cut quite slow, small increments noisey good things- lead screws, nema 24 came with computer and cnc software all set up
these photos of some work the cnc has done above look rough, especially with flash- i have tried to run jobs as fast as i could get away with so as not to annoy neighbours
there are no pictures displayed !! you either have them set to private ov you need to upload them to photobucket to share them ah there is a issues with google another member had the same issue
thanks for letting me know! , i can see the photos they are hosted with google photos - thought i had it sorted cheers
