Hi Kyo,
Is it possible to have a copy of the drawings for the large gantry plates for the Sphinx XL. I am trying to make them even higher, like 10-15cm higher, with thicker alu.

so im wondering if theres like a list that will say something like... parts you will need to convert Cbeam to Sphinx.. m5x25mm #qt-12

Hey Kyo, have you done grbl acceleration optimization on your sphinx machine? I built pretty much the same machine and am about to start tweaking, but thought I'd check with you before recreating the wheel. I saw somewhere that people had acceleration XY set as high as 600! Not sure I'd go that far, but wanted to know if you found good settings for speed vs reliability.
Thank you!
Tyler

hi kyo i"m new to cnc i built your sphinx as a 2'x3' and i was wondering if you had a wireing diagram using a phoenix controller, i"m not sure how to hook up 2 stepper motors for y axis? thank you for great build, it can be so variable

Hello Sir Kyo. I am currently planning to build my first CNC machine. Is there a design that you could recommend that i can incorporate both router and plasma cutter/engraver? I will be using it for my woodworking projects. BTW I am Eric from the Philippines.

Regards,

Eric

Hello Kyo. A big shout out and link to your Sphinx project page in my latest video about upgrading the c-beam with steel channel and v-rails. Take a peek and thanks again for your inspiration! https://youtu.be/2QTZa2Ge9A0 (oops, broken link, now it works)

Hi Kyo, A quick question. When I click on the $H, the Z will move up to the sensor, stop, back off, slowly move towards the switch until it trips and then backs off 3mm. then the X and Y axis's do the same , except they both will only stop at the sensors and back off, then stop. They don't come back to the sensors so I have to run the $H again to make that happen? Any ideas.

Hey Kyo, do you know if there is a proper way to set the anti-backlash nuts. They do come with an adjustable set screw so I searched the forums and didn't find any info, I'm at that point where I'm hoping this is the last time I take everything apart, and if there is some thing I should address with the nut blocks now would be an opportune time to take care of it. Thanks again...

Oops, I misread your post and saw nema 34 as nema 23. Do you think the Canare Star Quad will handle the high-torque 23's?

Oh yeah! the cable I have is also Canare, L-4E6S star quad. I got it form Redco.com for .50/ft and they have a nice color selection. Now you've got me worried because I'm using the high-torque nema's also. Is there a way to figure the actual wire gauge of stranded wire and how would I find the current rating for this cable? Thanks

Hey Kyo, I was wondering if you have ever heard of anyone using microphone cable for the steppers and limit switches, I have some left over after making some speaker cables. It's a 4 conductor stranded 21 gauge wire with braided shielding and the manufacturer claims it's ideal for bending (as in coiling up mic cables). I have a photo but can't find a way to upload it in this post.

Whats up kyo building a sphinx and was wonder if u had dimensions for the plates needed for xy and z or possible them in an svg format?

New to the forum. Working on a sphinx now. I have noticed that when using the extreme v wheels and mini v wheels with the c beam extrusion I have to use 2 1mm spacers on the mini v wheels to maintain alignment with the v grooves. The full size wheels on the out side of the c beam only need 1 1mm spacer while the inner mini v wheels need 2 1mm spacers along with the 6mm spacers. Any ideas as to why?

Hi Kyo. I want to build your Sphinx C Bream CNC with working area 120cm x 60cm . But I don't know how much is length I need to cut my C-Beam for the X & Y Axis , also the V Slot for the base. Need your advice :)

Sorry to be bothering you,
But I have a problem with my cnc that I can not solve,
Works fine when I work with Gcode sender manually on the various axes, however, when I submit a G code project, the x, y, and y advances are uncontrollable

Hi Kyo

I already have the sphinx plates, but confused over the lead screw lengths. If I have 500mm c beams the parts list says 500mm leads screws but the PDF of the build says 530mm. I think I need the longer ones, but could you or any one else please confirm I am thinking right.

Hue

i check all the problem from the driver
thank

hi Kyo
i all redy build my cnc depend on your design C-beam Sphinx and order the y and x plate from ebay i finish build it using arduino cnc shield its works fine but missing steps in y and the both sides are warb after finish the carve
Can you please advise me?

Hi Kyo, I'm going to start building a modified Sphinx on Friday, all the parts should be here, and want to use your manual, but I find the font difficult to read. Would you mind giving me a version that I can edit and change the font? These tired old eyes need a plain font. Thanks, Tyler

Kyo, who can I consult with regarding a slightly modified version of your Sphinx: taller gantries, mount Z stepper on top of Z axis (no belt) and approximately 400mm x 400mm real work area? I'm not sure, for example, the best way to solidly connect the Z stepper to the screw. Great design and I can't wait to place the order and start milling! Thanks, Tyler

Hello Sir. I see that you have plates on sale at ebay. If I were to follow your cutom build thread, are those the only customized parts I need to buy to start buiding ? Do you also offer complete kit minus electrical/electronics ?

Part2 Reading about your builds, you know quite a bit about this stuff, me, I'm just getting started. Could you take about few minutes post systems you have put together that worked well together . Thanks, Mark.

Kyo, I'm a new member and I started an thread http://www.openbuilds.com/threads/post-your-working-electronics-package.7912/ to get an idea how to put together a package to run the CNC router I'm building. It has been getting some views but not much input. continued

Kyo, I am working on my own Sphinx build. I ordered the majority of the parts from the openbuildstore and I am looking at making the plates myself. For 20 buck tuition and associated lab fees I have access to the machine shop at the local community college. My intention is to use their equipment to make the associated plates. Since the cost would be for materials only what thickness would you make the plates?

Hi Kyo, I'm planning on building my first machine and I think your C-beam Sphinx would be the perfect first time project. Thanks for providing all the info on how to do this! My question is, are you going to have a plate set available for purchase?

thanks again!,
-Eric

Hi Kyo,

Would you mind sharing the stl. file for the Delta Six Makerslide corner brackets?
