Trying the multi axis swarf tool...spectacular...but epic fail.
Second attempt was going better (only little flaw) , soon video
Lucky me, i was cutting foam
eyes done with swarf

 

Maybe i should learn first to cut something on the 3 axes

g53 lol, i don't get it.
Homing all axis > once hit the home/limit switch it returns x steps (1mm)
so you are now on x,y,z 1mm > from here i set my g54
then your post does g53 and your zero is at that 1mm
so my g54 was always off

ctrl box (attempt)
mmm how do i get my wires out ?

 

omg,

My table had some strange behavior & belt was already loosen.

Opened the whole thing, seems there are some huge flaws.

see pic, treads have different sizes, so the screws are to small.
left:3.8mm, right:2.8mm the screw goes true the 3.8mm to the belt drive 2.8mm
also some play on the shaft/bearings
update: ok, the shaft was not in place.
still some play, belt (ad some wheels din't help much)





v wheels good for everything

 

ah, my belt has left the transit zone
Meanwhile...may the 4th be with me.
(aim is to put the 5th from the Chinese on to this one )
(will test the belt first )

 

ok, placed a new belt. Turning the table over the axis was never so smooth.
See to test it next weekend.
Meanwhile some 4th axis play.
Adaptive& parallel (flat end mill)
was cutting @ 3mm...now i know what they mean with chips instead of dust (i usually have)

 

testing the new belt, so far everything ok
got it here: Product | Designatronics Store | Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument

4 fun i have put a 1.7Kg chuck on it & it holds very well @ +90 degrees. (read comments on Scottle's video's, some don't hold that)
meanwhile... see ball bearing

 

soon back to 5x,

Last week first attempt to cut 4mm acrylics...omg my first cut guess you know what went wrong

After lowering the spindle speed & increase the move speed it went much better

Still not that good, to much play on the z, moved the spoiler board 8cm higher and got very nice results (y)
(also switched the 30cm c-beam on the sides by 50x8cm rails so i could put the x on the back (instead of on top the c-beam)

so far my ctrl box, hope no court-circuit

 

What you see is NOT what you get...Fusion360 multi axis
Lot of times the lead in/out will ruin your cut.
Guess i have to play more with the settings.
Here my foam dummy to test tool path's
front/back ok,
Flow on the sides (rounding) does a strange move (but does the job)

 

cut of the weekend, do you know what this is Mark ?

bang my head, went wrong after i changed the tool for a finishing pass (forgot to move up the Z )

 

Almost, but WRONG ( yes, we call him Manneken ...)
Depeche Mode (one night in Paris, back screen) by Anton Corbijn
still have to cut a Bong speaker... (have printed versions)

some entertainment between the cut's ^_^

 

just a piece of wood laying around, ah oh i see
End Grain, Edge Grain, or Face Grain
Had no clue
thx for the tip (y)

 

de 30cm c-beams nog te vervangen door 50cm, zou het zowat moeten zijn.

 

check last cut
V_rail Racer

ok, seems my ab table holds well with the new belt (still, pretty sure not suited for hard materials if you want precision stuff ! )
notice that even the hexagon table has not even edges


only front & back of the car is multi axis,
(impression that f360 has still a way to go, once you use a spherical shape > no go. Don't think it's the post, test it with the big ones= same results)
pocketing with indexing (headlights & logo)

cnc: overlooked one thing...the noise it makes OMG

 

still running
Checked today the simultaneous 5x in fusion again & it went pretty good ?
Because those ytubers seems to buy all big 5x machines and they work in fusion360 (want us to believe)

Boom Boom ;D

 

Happy Easter to

 

a last pic before i strip it down.
it was a nice journey that brought me to operate a 5x dmg mori (heidenhain/hypermill) ...

left: 2 4th axis for 5x simultaneous : mach4/Fusion360
right: vise, temporary ad x/y table for some laser work with grbl

Grts,

 

something more rigid (kit with high Z , so i can still use my controller & 4th axis)

the search for a new one seems to be hard, no reply's, no stock, only the real expensive ones do reply! ...

my eyes on a german one but, reply once a week so it takes +3 weeks to get your invoice + 3-5 weeks shipping time. OMG
