I'll second that Adam. I've tried a miter saw, table saw and chop saw and ended up using the chop saw with a Diablo blade made for cutting...
Looking at the photo for your belt and pinion design it occurred to me that a belt and pinion design moving the rail rather than the motor would...
I'm curious what control board you are using. Looks compact but I don't recognize it.
Howdy running farmer :) I'm working on a 1 arm bandit now. I kinda figured you might have problems with a PG35L not being powerful enough....
Looks great. What kind of speed are you getting? The vid looks like it's probably moving 100 m/sec.
The gantry plate is the excellent way to go (if you don't mind the swiss cheese of the extra holes). Your plastic would not give you a good hole...
Ah, I see your point about carriage drop. When that's happened with my Fabbster it was due to power loss and the object was ruined anyhow so...
Quick build, minimum parts, you have that nailed!!! Your simple CraneBot makes a Bukito look like it was designed at the sausage factory. I'd...
Thanks Tweakie! A couple of gems I got from that cnczone.com article worth mentioning for those who plan to use the Everman concept: Everman...
Here is Everman's patent publication US 20090301237 A1. https://www.google.com/patents/US20090301237 Everman's patent does not cover the $30,000...
Rack and pinion moves the motor. We certainly do not want that weight moving on a high speed x axis. My x axis motor is stationary with the belt...
Proteus. I discontinued that model a few months ago. The design of the printed bracket connecting the X axis bar to the Z axis bearings is too...
A suggestion on your change to 60x20 X axis extrusion - move the single wheel on the outside to the center slot instead of the same top slot as...
I plan on building this mid December. Our own builder, Carl Feniak, convinced me to take a second look at this design with a bowden extruder...
Printing any flex filament is REAL slow. 30mm/s is average w/.5mm nozzle or bigger. But, that's just for flex. If the flex is also elastic, the...
I just submitted a new build, BldrBot Pro, with info on the Recreus extruder I'm using. My design for mounting a Recreus on a Mini-Wheel Plate is...
Keith Davis published a new build: A completely belt driven cartesian design with a center mounted X motor. This is a very compact, rugged...
This uses Open Builds Mini-V Wheels and Plate for the Z and X axis, and Solid V Wheels on the Y axis. It also has three unique features: 1) It...
Carl: Changing from stiff filament to flex, or even elastic, does require changing nozzle and feed tension against the drive gear. I sell my...
Keith Davis published a new build: A compact, enclosed Core XY design, based on off-the-shelf parts. Read more about this build...
