I really need to test that spreadsheet out myself. I have been meaning to, but have been so busy with family stuff I have not had a chance.
I only use the rotary demon post processor and all the designs I cut are in the .stl format. I do not use the rounding gadget. I have Vcarve...
No. The steps/mm stays the same (because they are converted to degrees, the machine will cut a little beyond 360 degrees for endmill diamete, then...
If in the U.S., google "Kress spindle" and there are a lot of U.S. suppliers.
I have always wondered how a person doing this knows that the switches are exactly in the right place on both sides to know it will be square, and...
That is definitely the right way. I installed the wiring because I always intended (and still do) to figure out a way to add one to the rotary axis.
I am using the Openbuilds High torque Nema 23 steppers and they have no issue moving it at over 5000mm/min. That is what I set its peak at. I...
I do a lot of 3D cutting with short moves up and down and side to side. I turned my max speed down and upped my acceleration. It is amazing how...
Has the machine been homed at startup? You should be able to set the Zeros by clicking on the set zero "buttons" on the left once the endmill is...
I have done something similar to what you are doing. I added a second X axis beam and made mine higher by purchasing the High Z Mod for Lead 1010...
I was lazy and added a momentary switch on my lathe for the Y homing switch. I wait until X is done and when the rotary starts to turn I push the...
At 18000 rpms, you should be easily able to cut pine at 100ipm if you depth of cut is 1/8". I plunge at 40 ipm. I do not cut a lot of pine....
Here is a list of all where you can get the specs. Machine Kits - Page 1 - OpenBuilds Part Store
Probably the LEAD 1515. It is 5x5
When I send mine 1000mm, it goes 1000mm. But I calibrated it at that length to be as accurate as possible. Also a V bit right above the ruler at 0...
Use the Openbuilds post processor.it will give you good gcode. docs:software:vectric [OpenBuilds Documentation]
If it is a Blackbox 4X it is 0-5V pwm. If a Blackbox X32, then the out put for the tool is 0-3.3V pwm. [ATTACH] You would have to make 3.3V your...
It is a wiring issue. Either you have a short, lose wire, or your stepper coils are not matched. docs:blackbox-4x:faq-identify-motor-coils...
What software and post processor were you using to create the gcode? It needs to be grbl compatible. Home
If you built them so that neither would ever cross the middle, you probably could with existing parts. You would have to probably custom make a...
