@Zootalaws looking forward to seeing your big Ox take shape.
I am using an Arduino Uno, GRBL Compatible CNC Shield and 4 DRV8825 Stepper drivers (3D printer style), that cost me around AUD$40 including...
The gantry will be supported by a screw on each side. The z-axis leadscrews will be connected to each other by a belt and a couple of pulleys.
That's a neat solution, I will definitely do this. There are two versions of the clip on the Robocutters site. Is there a difference? Which ones...
asb_79 published a new build: An all metal construction cartesian style 3D printer with a very rigid frame that has the flexibility to function...
Good news about the belt, not so much about the slipping. Thanks for tip regarding use of extra T nuts.
Bench tested my gShield last night, the Windows mini tablet I am using works well with GRBL controller and will probably be much more reliable in...
The only issue I have with the GT3 belts is being 6mm wide they are a fairly snug fit in the v-slot extrusion, not sure how long they'll last...
Thanks guys, we're really happy with the final result.
Thanks for clarifying that for me. So apart from the backlash the accuracy looks quite good, in reference to where the first pair of lines started...
The paper border that surrounds the screen needs to be replaced with a heavier card and the glass screen panel isn't installed so it should end up...
It's finished! Well the first of 3 anyway. We ended up using a printed Marque and illuminated it from the back with a small florescent light.
I'd read somewhere, not sure if it was on this forum, that you could run two 12v fans in series off a 24v power supply. Maybe someone with some...
Do these plots represent backlash in its true sense or does it demonstrate the micro step error mentioned a few posts above? I'm not quite at...
I totally missed CBC. Anyways, good to know for next time. Carbon belts would be interesting :)
Our range isn't that great either, that or I was calling the wrong suppliers. The belt I got came from Europe, think they were UK made. It took 6...
Hey Mike, The Belt is actually 6mm wide, you are correct about the part number. The photo is mine, the "-006" designation is likely not shown as...
Here's an idea for running cable chain along the y-axis, I'm going to try and do something similar on the x. I used some standoffs and a bit of...
Everything you say is true, but it is still a case of mistaking stiffness for strength. When bending/molding a material to permanently deform it...
Even at 5mm your plates would be more rigid than the original fiberglass plates used on the Original OX. If that's all you can get, or will save...
