You need to calibrate your steps/mm (or inch). If using Openbuilds Control, it is easy and it is built into the software. [ATTACH] I highly...
The images you linked to show them wired as NO (Normally open). Only the NO and Common (aka ground) are hooked up. [ATTACH] If wiring NO at both...
Maybe a break in the ground wire that is not apparent.
If it is truly for an emergency, place the E-stop on the main power to your machine so if a true emergency happens, all power is cut. I have used...
Can you upload the gcode file for us to look at? Have you ran it in a gcode simulator to see if it looks like it should work? Here is a simple...

Vcarve Desktop will make machining stl files so easy. I absolutely love it. It is pricey, but you keep the software for ever unlike Carveco which...
One of the holes is a little over 7mm for the eccentric nut. Did you account for that?
I do not have instructional videos other than a couple calibration videos. I basically just make videos of projects I post here at OpenBuilds...
Earlier in this thread. LEAD Lathe Also, my gift to you to make the alignment of the 3D tabs easier ;): Use the 9 (counterclockwise) and 0...
I do not have one on my rotary axis. I physically trigger the Y axis (my rotary axis) limit with my finger when the Y axis starts to try to...
Vectric software makes working with stl files really easy.
The demon works with normal rotary axis with the Y axis as the rotary. You will have to change the steps per mm when you switch to rotary, but...
That is not homing. That is zeroing your x y and z in the Work Coordinate System. Homing is what you do on start up where the machine touches each...
I do not know much about the Duet, but i believe its firmware is different than the Blackbox. That may be why the post processor does not work....
Meshmixer is a free program that easily allows you to mirror an .stl file. Just mirror the file and re do the CAM. [MEDIA] Or invert whatever axis...
Yes, you absolutely have to calibrate your machine. The steps/mm will be way different for your z axis than your x and y since they use belts.
Just make absolutely sure you told your CAM software that the bed is the zero point. I forgot to do that once. It was ugly when the endmill...
Sometimes my spoil board is a metal vise. Though, I usually put a spacer under the material because I m scared of hitting the vice. ;)
It cuts perfectly through the material and barely touches the spoilboard. I started doing it this way because I got sick of chewing up the...
