I've heard some good things about the Stepcraft, but also some bad things. Their spindle of choice is their MM1000, which might look like a...
Absolutely not. The Shapeoko XL is a poorly designed machine, with low quality parts. You are WAY better off with a Workbee or Lead machine than...
Just had a conversation with a guy who had a quick and dirty idea for increasing the Z axis height on the Workbee. Simply replace the front and...
Check your motor wiring. I seem to remember that the High Torque motors use a different color code than the standard motors? Never go by wire...
Does that not cause the motors to overheat? In my experience, they get hot as a firecracker when left on at 2.8A. MG
Peter, does the black box use the Motor Enable output from GRBL? Does it reduce motor current when disabled? MG
Viewed the video, sounds like you have the motor wiring wrong. Either one coil is not connected properly, or the wires are mixed up. Make sure...
Can you post your GRBL settings here? MG
Probably your set screws are too long. You need a 5mm x 4 set screw, hard to find, but the OB store has them. Grinding the flat on the lead...
This is why you need Sketchup. All of the OB parts are in the Parts Warehouse, all you need to do is load them in and put them together. You can...
You can always just order the parts individually from the BOM and build it yourself. Probably not selling well because everybody wants the Lead...
Might seem obvious, but make sure your z axis is starting out below the switch Switch might need adjustment. Make sure it actually triggers the...
A Quick question: Does the Black Box system have any optical isolation, either in the USB port or between the controller and the stepper drivers?...
Use Google. MG
Some computers keep the power on the USB port even when they are off, just so USB keyboards and mice are able to wake up the computer, especially...
Allright, I concede... And I realize the TSR thing is from the DOS era, so am I.;) I just didn't know what the current name for it is. MG
You're kidding, right? What program do you have that will start right up where it left off after you shut down your computer? Generally, no...
Sorry, I thought you were just talking about closing the main app window. Still, an unnecessary extra step, IMHO. The only other programs I have...
No, it loads a TSR (terminate and stay resident) driver that is always in the taskbar even if you close the program. Have no idea why they did...
This is why I don't advocate using OB C-beam in designs over 1000mm axis length. The C-beam is just not stiff enough, particularly if you want to...
