If you go with phenolic (garolite), make sure it is thick because while it is strong it is also brittle. The other material that occurs to me is...
Every packet of 10 makerlink comes with an extra set screw. This is very handy as the set screws are hard to grip and have a tendency to roll. I...
A few more usage notes: - One nice thing about makerlink is that it has natural stops for the beams. A normal plate or corner bracket has no...
I needed glass mitered to a very particular angle. Most glass shops can only do bevels up to 45 degrees. Here is a video of glass grinding in...
I don't think I've ever seen that kind of noises and behaviour before. I think your best bet for debugging this is to divide and conquer. (a) The...
You need to adjust the variable resistors on the GRBL shield. This is a small plastic screw-like thing. Be very gentle with it. See the...
@dddman That is a cool idea. The biggest difficulty is that it won't be very stiff. There is only a single screw holding the two beams at the...
@Metalguru I lack both a disc sander and a table saw and have been looking for the best way to square up and finish my beams better after they are...
I'm not sure how adjustable angles would work for them MakerLink. But I think there is the possibility of adjustable-angle connector plates. BTW,...
Very interesting. Please keep me posted on how it goes. If it works with your long term wear test, I might like to get some bronze wheels from you.
That is a great looking little device. Makes me think of the old train engines, though in reverse. What are the new wheels? Are they still delrin...
I got my order of maker link and I've been tinkering with it. A few notes: The set screws need a 2.5mm hex key. I will be buying a ball-end...
@Adam Filipowicz They look a lot stronger to me. Each one has two attachment points to each beam instead of one. Another interesting prospect is...
Argh. And now I've thought of a fifth design. You could build a Kossel on a hexagonal base. The three pillars could be placed on the center of...
Hmm. I'll have to design new gap caps for myself. The ones that are available are a bit reversed from what I want. They have a hole in the center...
Check to make sure that you have all the power you need. For me, this happens all the time when I have power to my Uno controller but no power to...
At last! I'm waiting impatiently for my order. I've already mentally sketched out four different designs using these new connectors. The new...
I had a lot of trouble squaring my gantry with adequate precision on my CNC router. This meant that small parts were pretty good, but larger parts...
So it sounds like the best option for you is (3) then. Get a normal saw like the Ryobi. Then get a nice Diablo blade. I have heard good things...
Ok. Let me try to lay out your options for you, then: Scenario A: You only want to cut a few pieces of aluminum extrusion for a single project....
