Carbide, by definition, is more blunt than HSS- it can't generally be ground to as fine an edge because it's a ceramic matrix and not a metallic...
Yeah, make sure the NC/NO issue is correct first. But it's usually a noise issue. Connect a 0.1uF/100nF ceramic cap between each of your switch...
Settings look pretty good, though the accelerations look pretty slow. The G-code section where the issue happens could also be useful.
screw length = (beam length) + 2*(bearing plate thickness) + (standoff length) - (motor boss depth) - (motor shaft length) +/- 1mm Cuts with an...
The lead screw and the motor shaft are stationary in translation with respect to each other because the screw is also fixed in place via its...
I don't usually assume the belts do slip- they have to be very loose, or under very high dynamic forces, for that to happen, and when it does it's...
There's no reason a laser shouldn't be able to run at very high speeds and accelerations with a four-motor 24V NEMA 17 belt-drive system. I don't...
Easiest option? They're like $5, just get 24V ones. Save the 12V ones for a 12V automation project or machine. There's a lot of this in this...
Sounds odd. If it's the official Mega port, it should output the same serial comms. Based on what I've seen in grbl's and CONTROL's sources, their...
Just remember to change the config.h file in your Arduino library directory and not in your Downloads. Other than that, smooth sailing.
Yeah zero issues with bCNC here. It's an excellent package.
Some more popular config.h options, like door interlocks, are available from the CONTROL flashing wizard as precompiled hexes. If you want...
Nice to see real practical experiences. 40W CO2 is also in a pretty good sweet spot, price-wise, to DIY. The 1m tube lengths and 40-60W ranged...
grbl has a feed hold input on pin... A4, maybe? Somewhere around there. Technically that would be a better use of resources, but I tend to agree,...
You should be running a minimum of 24V for NEMA 23s anyway. Makes all the difference in the world on my NEMA 17s, I'd personally go 36V for 23s....
Funny, I had the exact same thoughts, though a macro that engages additional clamping before removing the last two tabs or something wouldn't be a...
Yep, just like that. And a "mini Y" axis is a possibility too- the machine size is a little larger than you strictly need for the parts- say, a...
Have you considered a rubber/toothed roller drive, and running the machine similar to a Swiss lathe? Rather than having the machine so long that...
Since you need 4 of those drivers, plus IO for running spindle, switches, vacuum, whatever else, it's basically a question of whether you want to...
Can you trace the bare ground leaving the bus at the breaker box? In theory it should go to the one you found by the weatherhead. If it doesn't go...
