Managed to get a Machinekit / LinuxCNC image running on my BeagleBone Black with the CRAMPS cape... Even though they have a BBB/Cramps...
Thanks - the pegs printed nicely in ABS, flexible enough to be squeezed without snapping. Don't have a plate yet to test the fit, but I'm sure it...
Designed an adapter part to mount a 5015S blower fan to the back of the hot end carriage. The fan gets screwed to the plastic part (the white...
So, I was thinking to myself... what if I used the longest closed-loop GT2 belt that RobotDigg had to offer? That would be the 1524mm-long 762...
Picked up this metric drill tap set today at Harbor Freight for about $11. If it looks identical to the one that OB sells, it's because it is......
Yes, when I cut the large piece of PEI for the big 16*20 plate, I had a strip that's 8" wide x 24" long, so I cut a piece 8"x8" to fit my current...
I gotta say - this PEI sheet is the best build surface I've ever printed on. I printed out this tall and thin lithograph with ABS, and a 3mm brim...
The MIC 6 cast and ground aluminum plate arrived! The top and bottom surfaces are ground flat - this is the stuff that they make tooling plates...
Designed a simple 2-piece block clamp for bolting the belt to the side of the Z gantry. The thinner block on the inside of the belt has a GT2...
Modeled a dimensionally-accurate GT2 Belt Loop with a center distance of 523mm. I used a rather nice OpenSCAD library that could generate belt...
Ah, got it. Yeah, I had heard about the piezo sensors - and this may be something I'll see if I can incorporate. Also: The Piezo element is...
I'm not sure which SparkFun part you're referring to - got a direct link?
I've found this timing belt calculator to be really useful: http://www.bbman.com/catalog/belt-length-calculator.html However, since RobotDigg...
My bed will be heavier, with all that aluminum - 8 pounds for the 1/4" thick MIC6 aluminum, and 4 pounds for the 20x40 carriage assembly. 12...
So the giant sheet of PEI arrived today - 24" x 24", with one side slightly textured, and the other side smooth with a peel-off protector. It's...
Rotated the bearing blocks by 33.226 degrees to have the two holes line up for a 20mm distance, and set them to the middle of the 20x40 vertical...
And here we are, the finished model: [ATTACH] I've included the Sketchup file if you'd like to use it.
I like these KFL08 Pillow Block mounts - I was going to use a printed part to hold a 608 bearing, but I think these will be better. Now to find...
Yeah, good point. I'll make it fit, I only need about 10-15mm of clearance width for the belts to pass through.
The X/Y motors will be mounted to the top front rail, one with its pulley above the bar and the other upside down, pulley below the bar. Should...
