The xPro has an embedded Arduino. So you need the drivers used to communicate with an Arduino to be installed. Take a look at the Arduino webpage...
There are a lot of options on aligning your workpiece and finding a 'zero'. But if you don't have homing switches, your best bet is to have Z=0 on...
I've used Vectric software alongside xPro controllers. I also took a quick glance at that tutorial. The basic problem you are having likely has to...
Usually the higher-powered diode lasers can't sustain that power. So don't expect a 15w laser to cut twice as fast as a 7w laser. And certainly...
I've frequently wanted this same thing. The nice thing about drawings is that they could give tolerances as well (where appropriate). It might...
I really like the 300w air-cooled spindle that I have. I got mine from inventables, but there are a number of seemingly identical ones from other...
What you want is a bellows made from plastic or some other durable material. They protect lead screws and the ways of a CNC machine by...
@nportelli It is possible to cut thin plywood with a lot of passes using only a diode laser. Emphasis on thin. You will want to buy high quality...
AFAIK, the wavelength only affects which materials are transparent or opaque. So one reason why CO2 lasers can't cut through aluminum or steel and...
@Rendermandan There is no standard chart AFAIK. Part of the reason is that there seem to be a lot of variables including the quality of the...
If this is an example of the kind of thing you want to do, then you need a CNC machine. But if this is exactly what you want to do, a CNC machine...
Just FYI, I cut 3mm thick ABS plastic all the time. Because of one thing and another, my Z-travel ended up being only 40mm or so. This turns out...
You can make the bed any height you want. The limitation on Z is the amount of Z-axis travel not where the bed is. If you look at any of these...
Usually you want to think about the dimensions of your work envelope and work outwards. Let's say you need to be able to cut things that are 600mm...
I think that you have accurately pointed out one of the main drawbacks of a moving Z-axis. You are giving up Z-travel. And you are also requiring...
The biggest improvement in the store would come from vastly expanding the documentation of what the parts are for and how they work together. A...
You sent your question to the right place. Both contact@ and support@ both seem to go to the same place. Given the season, they are probably...
That is exactly what will happen. It will also feed power back through your power controller because the motor will become a generator. This can...
Generally speaking, the low-wattage diode lasers are more for engraving. They might be able to cut very thin materials, but they are best used to...
Perhaps I misunderstood. It sounded like you were constantly ramping when cutting out these parts, essentially cutting in a large spiral. I'm used...
