Alright, the simulation took forever since my desktop seems to not like the simulation meshing...gets stuck at 80%. Had to use my laptop but I...

I modeled the load as an applied load perpendicular to gravity just as a baseline for the differences in strength. Torsional load may be more...
I'm using Fusion 360 to model the results on a 750mm C Beames model I already had. I made the beam simply supported at the end and put a point...
If you don't want to cut aluminum at deep cuts, you don't really need anything above a .8kw(mayyybbe a 1.5kw) spindle or 1-.25 hp routers....
Look at Moroso Block Filler, it looks like the same thing and is much cheaper. Interesting idea. I ran some simulations and found that even...
08/12/2016 I got everything set up to cut today and my hitachi M12vc broke on me. The speed controller knob broke right off the potentiometer....

Kinda looks like paracord. You can take out the core and use it for sleeving. Check out mainframe customs or MDPC-x for some really high quality...
I just mill a pocket into my spoilboard with the corners milled out. Then you can place your piece against the walls of the pocket and you're...
Granite epoxy filling extrusions has been talked about a lot on other forums and the concensus seems to be that they won't do much other than...
The extra beam is only going to stiffen slightly against x gantry downward deflection and make sure the y gantry plates will maintain parallelism....
That's a common configuration and plenty of people use that method. It's more weight for the stepper to move though, now that z stepper has to...
I've uploaded an image showing how I designed my z axis. To figure out how long you need the axis to be, first figure out how much clearance you...
If you are using linear rails for all your axis, I wouldn't worry too much about rigidity as long as you make your plates thick and use big...
I had the same experience. Took two weeks for mine. Send them an email and see if they've even shipped them, they hadnt when I emailed them.
The end mounts for each beam have a square hole cut out that the beam will slot in to and then be secured with a set screw. You can kinda see them...
I noticed my machine did that when jumped down to 1/8 microstepping from 1/16. Its just noise, nothing harmul as long as your machine is still...
Design is finished! Before I start the build, I'd like to know what you guys think of the steel rails sitting in the v slot. Do you guys think it...
