I just about have my OX CNC assembled. I bought an Arduino-grbl shield combination with the kit I bought from Vslot. I'm having trouble getting my computer to recognize the Arduino. I'm trying to use grbl controller but it wants a Port number ... I don't know how to find that or what to do next. Please direct me to somewhere or someone who can help.

I'm using Windows 8 on a Microsoft Surface Pro

Thanks

do u have any plans or designs for the side plates for the y axis like on the youtube video is there a link where i can download or buy them.

Mark,
I recently bought a phlatprinter 3 and some of the mdf parts were damaged in shipping. Will any of the files will be posted here so i can replace the broken mdf parts?
thanks,

I was wondering what the best power supply to run this build is?
I was running a 24V/20A power supply... Somehow the MOSFETS blew out when i plugged it in.
but as my driver board only allows 2A on each stepper, is this really necessary?

What are the advantages to having a 24V power supply over a 12V on this system?

thanks for your help!

I am working off your mitre saw stop build for a tablesaw sliding table. Simple but smart. Do you have a parts list i could use please? Thank you.

What is the hardest metals used? I know aluminium can be used but is there a limit in type of aluminium?

Can a thin wall steel like 4310 1.5mm thick be milled
Could I mill a tube, to make head tube badges for bikes, basically cut an images out of a tube?
I'm using a good Dremel 4000 as cutting tool.. Will this be ok? One area I'm worried about is the drill bits and measurements of bits in SolidCAD while generating the G-code

Hi I was just wondering if you could answer a few questions for me, about hardware I do modles in solidworks and am learning SolidCAD

I'm in a wherlchair and design bikes for high level spinal injury, hoping you can ?

Hi
I'm in Hillsborough nj, and have a specific project in mind which includes a rotary attachment. I have a few questions and don't really know where to begin. Is there someone I can call to begin a conversation on how to get started?

Have you seen my post about the new 20mm gantry plate? There is a design flaw that needs to be addressed. I have a couple of the full sized solid v-wheels that have very small chunks missing where it hits the rail. It is causing a noticeable stop as it rotates. Like having a flat spot in your car tire. Can I exchange these for new ones?

Hello Mark, I recently purchased some small parts from an open builds distributor called snbinc.ca. Sadly I have contacted them 3 times asking for status on my order, each time no reply.

Do you have a telephone number or do you know if this company is still in business.
Any help would be most appreciated... https://snbinc.ca/store/products.php?27

Many thanks, Steve

Do you know when you'll have in stock the GT 3 3mm pitch pulleys and the nema 23 motors?
Thank you.

I am looking for info on you rvacuum former...I really like the transfer mechanism.

I have some model rocket projects that I want to make some vac form details for.

Can I get the DXF part layouts for the former like you have posted for the your printer design.

I want to try and laser cut the parts from 1/8 plywood and laminate them together to get the thickness .

Thanks

Hi. I'm now at the beginning of building my own OX-router. I will made it 1500 mm x 1500 mm. I have one question, Do you Think two nema 23 motors (1.26Nm(178.5oz.in)) are enough for the Y-axle then? Did you have any extra power left at your build which was 1000x1500mm?
