Levelling epoxy will get you to +0.003/-0" across any given size surface. It's a great option. A better option would be to only put epoxy where...
If you don't know enough to start designing your own machine- or the research to start information-gathering on how you might go about it- and you...
I don't think any "kits" as such exist, but ball screws will often claim "antibacklash C7" and still have 0.010" of lash and up to +/-0.3mm vs...
1) There'll be a lot of flex in the structure at that size, probably more than you immediately anticipate, but you can dial back cutting...
I'd use linear rails on everything at this point. They're cheap, easy to install, low maintenance as long as you keep them oiled, and higher...
No kidding! I've managed to stumble across that thread once a year for the last few years, it's terrifying. I already installed my NUBM44-v2 to...
It's belt driven, at least on X. Screws on Z of course. Looks to be entirely C-Beam based, a custom design. Might be using some kind of Igus-style...
You could try pinging @Spark Concepts on their official V5 project thread: CNC xPRO V5 But in general, any control should accept inductive limit...
I think both systems are wildly overpriced vs actually just learning about lasers and using a NUBM44-v2 diode ($150 with lens and housing from...
I love how overkill LinuxCNC is for a 6040. It works beautifully though, parport control is great. Anything below about 8mm I drill, but if...
Oh, I've seen that kind of work before. It's either CAD modeled if convenient, or sculpted in a sculpting program (or even scanned from another...
Yep, a centrally mounted 1m chain should reach all parts of a 1500mm axis. Also, drag chain should be in a tray guide; while it has some rigidity...
If you have multiple machines running from one control machine, you may be able to cheat Windows and assign different extensions of g-code files...
Nice! It was a great machine for its time, clearly still informs a lot of people's designs even today. Just discovered I have around 43,000...
In what material and cutter geometry? That doesn't seem like much... Maybe something's loose somewhere. If you have a dial indicator, try...
This probably has less to do with tramming and more to do with climb vs conventional cutting and overall torsional rigidity of the gantry...
It's almost certainly slicing the model into the thickness of the available (planed) slabs and 3D contour machining with a ball nose end mill, so...
Currently slow progress- waiting on pulleys from China that I knew I should have ordered in January so I could start the ball nut spindles but...
Ha! This is a nice design- I've added more lower framing to mine in the meantime too, don't want it racking- though I'd want to add a lot more...
Not quite following... Pics?
