Very nice. That sounds plausible by my experience with 1500mm C-Beam. Doing this stuff without defined planes can be difficult, probably requires...
If the gantry is sagging by 3mm, and I don't see any obvious problems with the methodology, cutting it flat is more like dishing it, which is...
This is the answer. Microcontroller-based solutions work great at converting G-code to motion, but if you want machine controls, you need a...
This thing's pretty tasty! :thumbsup:
The correct answer is "install proper home switches". The foundation of any meaningful automation is starting at a repeatable, known location with...
I have watched one or two of his videos, he's really good, though I haven't seen that mechanism. That's an interesting idea though, and would...
I'm so happy to see an Uno and DM542 photo in 2023. This is great!
Well, I said that it's *doable* in 3-4 months, though for me it was more around a year or so (and of course, continuously, ongoing, since we learn...
That's exactly what I was referencing, hahaha
This is super cool!
This will inevitably be time-consuming. It's the nature of the beast. I specifically gave you a list of 10 pointers to start your research....
Focus on the structure, not the motion components. Structure is much cheaper. And look into Y-axis racking prevention (this is Z, but same...
The direction of these questions suggests that not only did you not thoroughly read the replies already in this thread, but that you're simply...
CONTROL will talk to an Uno as if it's an 8-bit BlackBox, since it's basically the same hardware. So you're basically just replicating the...
This is basically a table saw fence with a camera slider software (or other programmable, auto-calculating, 1/2D motion control system) added on....
You can drive a Harmonic Drive with whatever you like, but it's usually going to require an adapter plate (there are some motor shaft variants,...
DeWalt supposedly call for maintenance at 100hrs on the DW611. That's probably at an "average" duty cycle where a mix of speeds are used....
An 8mm-lead screw can move 30cm in about 40 rotations, which per second ends up being 2400rpm. Anything over 800-1000rpm is an ask for a stepper...
Getting a LinuxCNC machine up and running in 3 axes is pretty straightforward... Maybe work on that first (I strongly recommend Mesa cards,...
Direct drive for multiaxis isn't a great plan unless you have some beefy (NEMA34+ or ring motor) servos or a fairly narrow diameter of actual...
