Hi there Mark!
I'm planing to build a CNC router with the c-beam on all axes and the CNC xpro v2 controller board.But I'm concerned about the speeds. Can it handle 3000 mm/min without overheating the stepper motors or the drivers on the CNC xpro?

hi ı want to cut plates for ox cnc.....ı buy garolite ...but how to cut plates with another cnc.....?whats model cnc bits when cutting garolite plates for ox cnc

A dimension is missing on the CB-End Cap for the upper M5 screws that screw into the CB. From the CB drawing it looks that this should be 10mm. If you look at the left side of the CB-End Cap drawing it's obvious the dimension is missing. Not picking on your work, I just am in the habit of measuring once, cutting twice...

Thanks for the update on the CB-End Cap drawing, makes sense now. But as to whether it's accurate...<G>

The link is where I found the CB-End Cap drawing V1. My concern is the center line of the leadscrew hole is shown as 40.024mm horizontally which means the leadscrew is skew along it axis between plates by 0.048mm. Does not seem right so I wonder about drawing accuracy.

Hi Mark I am interested in building the mcubed cnc mill , I was just wondering if I can get any kind of support for this project

I am interested in purchasing the C-Beam Linear Actuator. Since I will use a different stepper (geared NEMA 14) I will need to build a mounting plate for the motor and bolt it to the C-Beam end cap with four bolts (required). In looking at the Resources page on the website there is a drawing for the end cap designated a "V1". Is this drawing correct for the current version which appears to be "V7".

Hi Mark. I'm very interesting in making this my first build. 2 Questions. Will this work okay with Autodesk Fusion 360? Also, do you have info on an interchangeable Laser to swap in and out with the Router? Thanks.

Acme screw design , not timing belts, Using cambam, Mach3 and sketchup. Making wooden gears for clocks cutting Baltic Birch .250 thick

Hello Mark, I have built a CNC router already, but I am interested in getting a finer resolution than I have . which is +/- .010 this is a timing belt design very rigid construction. So the question is can I achieve a +/- .002 with the open build system using your components, not theoretical but actual.

Hello I am thinking on building the F-117 where is the information ? Is there a set of plans?
I have tried to build in the pass but time and money . Well I am retired !!!!!!!!
I have Nema 34 motors is this a over kill for the F-117 ? Lots more question but I will start with these

how long acme rod do i need in mm?

will 8mm acme lead screw work like this http://ooznest.co.uk/ACME-8mm-Lead-Screw?search=acme

as i can not find 1/4" lead screw on openbuilds

press the key with the windows logo and the letter r on the keyboard at the same time then type "devmgmt.msc" without the quotes then go to Ports (COM AND LPT) press the arrow next to it you then should see the arduino name and its com port
