@Julius Do you need the gcode, or the solidworks part file itself??? Really appreciate the time you're spending to help me out.
Thanks so much for your help @Julius I was away from the CAD computer over the weekend. I should have been more specific about my job and the...
@Julius Seems I'm still missing something. I have tried changing literally every parameter to watch its effect in both the plane depiction on the...
Thanks. I'll give it a shot in a bit.
I'm sure this is quite simple, but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to program HSMxpress to lift the tool to a safe height for travel...
This thread was pretty great. Did we lose the OP? It kicked off some ideas in my head for another, larger CNC machine (already built the Plate...
You might just need some shims to get the indicator to read true on all sides. I needed some steel shim stock for this on my build.
Thanks for posting this. I've been away from the machine for a bit - but this should be a more eloquent solution to my smattering of shim stock...
Thanks for the link. That's a value at twice the price! :)
I'm working with mostly aluminum. I also have the anti -static style hose. Would I need this ground wire? Seems to me between the aluminum and...
They look to be about the same. Just get a fairly large one to cut down on the time it takes to resurface.
I grabbed the cutter from Amazon. Made by Magnate. I already have the plans for the shop vac system - just need to get this thing out of my...
Unfortunately I've been slammed and haven't had time to fab the plates needed. But I have it on the list to rig up a vacuum system to remove...
There was something mentioned about a setting that buffered the code sending to the tinyG which was supposed to help with large files. I had a...
I'm using the TinyG for this machine. This is my first build, so I have nothing to compare it to other than my 3D printer (rambo board). The...
I put some thin pieces of dense neoprene sheet cut to size under the extrusion corners. Then I screwed the whole machine to the plywood top of the...
Sounds like a good excuse to install an E-Stop :)
If you're going to move it eventually - best to do it right up front. PITA to have to run all new wire if you're using end stops. Ask me how I...
May seem obvious, but I found that I had an easier time learning if I focused on an actual project I wanted to get done, instead of randomly...
I had some issues wrapping my head around it as well - but I chalked it up to being comfortable with another program. The CAM is a bit different...
