Does anyone have experience with this board? Apparently it is 100% open and anyone can build it. There's a video of it in action and the...
a laser will cut through anything, eventually. If you have more time than money, get a weak laser and run 50 passes over the same material to cut...
I saw a research paper that showed how to make a filament for 3D printers that is electrically conductive enough to make circuits. I haven't found...
hey can the smoothie run a routy or OX which has been refitted with a multi-head spindle+plastruder+laser+picker+plotter+dragknife+??? without...
What does an 890kV outrunner cost? Are the shafts pretty much all 8mm? Nevermind that's what we've been discussing all along, hehe. I think it...
So I salvaged these photo interruptor sensors from an HP Laserjet 5000 printer. [IMG] I think I figured out how to use them. This is what's...
yeah that might work. I was also thinking of maybe a a tank tread. I think the 2 belt solution has pros and cons. By just having 1 belt glued down...
Here's another way to do it [ATTACH]
So it looks like servobelt glues the belt to the aluminum, as I suggested, and then uses another belt to couple the motor to the glued belt. So...
Thanks everyone. I think I have a plan now. 1. Get the motor+collet-shank 2. Install shank in motor 3. Fabricate custom bearing holder 4....
So mount the lowest bearing such that it's race contacts the collet holder flange? Maybe use a washer? Does it need to be some kind of thrust...
I'm going to make a vacuum cleaner dust remover that goes around the collet, I could add a suction tube to create airflow around the motor. Until...
Could I use some kind of pillow-block bearing holders with 608 bearings as an off-the-shelf shaft support? I saw them on ebay here...
Hey is this the same spindle as shown here http://www.raynerd.co.uk/?p=1562 It looks like this would be something you could later on convert to...
So basically I can construct a variable speed, extremely high precision handheld rotary tool that can be turned on and controlled from LinuxCNC or...
So... how do you couple the motor to the belt without loading the motor bearings so they last longer?
I've been researching this and someone said 1kg max for the router. So I am going to try to use a remote control airplane brushless DC motor...
Wow! That's what I needed to know! And now that I know, I have more questions, haha. It says the runout of the collet is 0.015MM (0.0006") Run-Out...
hmmm, I see both of those links don't work. So what do you need to buy to attach to the motor that holds the collet? I was thinking of getting...
I'm curious if it would be possible to glue a belt to the aluminum v-slot and use it as a rack and pinion to reduce the belt stretch error and...
