Interesting. I may indeed be interested in obtaining one. Torch Height Control, that is. How does it work? I do have a Plasma Cutter build...
You are building a THC? I thought you had to grow that...
Well, I'm doing a plasma cutter design, so I need a big drag chain to be able to handle the cable/hose for the plasma torch. Probably at least...
Thanks guys! As always, good information. David the swarfer | OpenBuilds, the DIY one looks interesting, not sure I'd make it out of wood,...
Hey guys: Anyone have a SketchUp model for drag chain? Preferably a couple of different sizes. Or a way to scale objects in SketchUp???
I like to think I am fluent in both metric and inch units, having been born and raised in Canada. Officially, we are a metric country, but try to...
What is a shove test? Run your g-code through a simulator like NC Corrector or Camotics and see if the problem is in the code or the machine. If...
I read someone else's post about the C-beam machine and the position of the Y-Axis c-beam not being optimal. Something about moving it back by...
Dang, Gray, you are from the UK. Metric should be your native tongue :)
Wow, that made a huge difference. Now it's only 9Mb. Thank you very much! Even though I'm pretty comfrotable using Sketchup now, this just...
Thanks Rick, let me give that a try. As I said, I was a beginner Sketchup user when I started this, and probably got way too many components and...
Hey Jerry: Sure, I can do that. The design has evolved a bit since the drawings above. I have added and changed a few of the stiffener plates....
Oh, and it also needs to "break in" for a while to loosen everything up. Run a g-code program or 2 with no router for break in. Put some...
That seems to be pretty much the way mine sounds. Are you running your steppers on full step and 2.5A or so? Make sure you have no end play in...
After a bit more work, the design comes together... Machine has 500mm x 500mm x 6.35mm aluminum table, with 420mm of Y axis travel, and 412mm of...
Teflon4 | OpenBuilds The new Hi Torque stepper at the OpenBuilds store would easily handle any spindle and allow you to mod your Z axis to your...
Yeah that video really turned me off to the cheap Chinese spindles. I'll take CE marked German Engineering every time. False economy to buy a...
Well, I found some answers anyway. I found that Flip is pretty useless, and doesn't really do what it is supposed to. I finally found an MSDOS...
Millme: It's pretty hard to say quantitatively that one system will be quieter or louder than another. I have never heard the spindle motor you...
