I've attached my pressure foot files if you want to look at them. These two parts come together to form the part that mounts to your...

Hmm. You will probably be best served by emailing this exact same set of information to http://support.openbuilds.com/support/home.
As a followup, I've got a working setup now with CNC Router Parts R&P combined with C-Beam rails. This uses the plates I linked you to. Rapid...
That looks pretty awesome. If you could outline and/or photograph your final dip settings and wiring setup, that would be awesome. I've been...
If your motors are overheating, then perhaps you have too much current. The person from the other thread had a different dip switch setting than...
Also take a look at this forum thread: Smoothieboard with DQ542MA Try removing wires from the ENBL+ and ENBL- plugs. If those are unwired, then...
Something between trial and error and doing some calculation. Typically, the 'speed' setting you specify is a PWM value that acts as a % of full...
If you haven't already, check out this video by @Kyo about how to wire an arduino to the driver. It might give enough information to make...

Have you considered using a rack and pinion setup instead? I'm rebuilding my own CNC router and am moving from a lead screw setup to R&P because I...
I just saw this new item in the OpenBuilds store and it made me very happy: Balldriver Screw Driver Set These are normal grippy screwdrivers,...
I just thought of another possibility. You want a heat sealed end. Do you know what temperature you need? Cutting with a knife and then using a...
Useful equipment: - A small/cheap vice to hold your circuit boards in place if you need to solder something onto a board. - 'Helping Hands' or...
The way I'd do this is to get a linear actuator bundle from the OpenBuilds part store. They come in three sizes, so get the smallest size that...
Ack. I have to correct this. I got 'nylon' mixed up with 'vinyl' temporarily. The 'V' in PVC stands for 'Vinyl' and thin non-plasticized PVC is...
