Three things to try: (1) Make sure your Y-axis is square with respect to X-axis and that Y-axis rails are parallel to each other. (2) Make sure...
You got me to click on this conversation because I thought it was about money! Sneaky! Hahaha. Seriously, though, the exact values you need...
I don't have these boards, but here is what I would try: Dir+ -> Dir pin for that axis Dir- -> Ground Pul+ -> Step pin for that axis Pul- ->...
My machine is 1500mm x 1000mm as well. The base is 1000mm x 1000mm. And the top table overhangs it by a few hundred mm on either end.
I have one. It is not light at all. Aluminum is light, but add enough aluminum together and it will be heavy. Overall it works very well. Make...
What about having weights attached to the ends of the roller? One or a couple of disc-shaped weights from a gym. They already have holes through...
Accounting for cutter size is entirely done in the software. So when you generate your gcode, the paths there already account for the assumed...
Cutter compensation is part of calibrating your machine. When you set up your software to cut, you need to tell it how big the bit is. Then when...
Of the three, this is likely to be your best bet: MGN12 500mm Linear Rail Guide with MGN12H Block CNC Tool You can screw it down to something...
Once you have made your machine as precise as it is going to be, consider using the machine itself to help you set up the proper stops. So, for...
@chuckd When this happened to me on a project, it turned out to be a malformed wheel. Every revolution of that wheel, it would get to the part...
Glenn, it looks like there is a sketchup model linked under 'Files and Drawings' on the build page. Others, I'm going to be ordering my diode in...
The DIP switches or jumpers on your stepper driver determine the amount of micro-stepping that happens. If you change the settings on the stepper...
There are two kinds of calibration you need to do. First, you want to make sure that your machine is square. If it is not square, then you will be...
Ah, you are completely mistaken, @MaryD. That list right there represents at least half a dozen projects! :-) -D
Art board (engraving/cutting): Canson Mi-Teintes Board - BLICK art materials 1/16" black acrylic (engraving/cutting) Neoprene-coated polyester...
I'm not an expert. I've seen the idea of lead screw end 'fixity' several places and they distinguish between the single and double-bearing...
There are two ways to deal with this. As you guessed, one of them is to run everything slower. When I run a 1m lead screw, I typically max out at...
I was thinking exactly the same thing. My only disappointment with this project is that it doesn't come with a laser option. So now I'm trying to...
I'm currently at 5. A CNC glass grinder, two CNC saw stops, a 3d printer, and a CNC router. I do have my eye on the ACRO laser and a mini mill,...
