You may want to up the width of the belts significantly for 8 feet. The smaller belts will stretch over that distance and lead to accuracy issues....
The vslot rails and Cream are easy to cut with a chop saw. Just make sure your blade is square with the fence. Or you can reach out to the...
Is the high spot noticeable in a picture if you were to provide it and label the axis directions? Also, are you doing both a roughing and...
It is the file you are trying to cut that you are having issues with.
It also may not open properly if not made with Lightburn. I just tried importing about 10 different simple .nc files where the CAM was generated...
Are the files saved as .svg or .dxf files? What "format" are you referring to when you say OpenBuilds format? By chance do you mean the gcode...
When you jog the Z axis, does it go in the direction you want it to? Is there a chance you confused "probing" with "homing?" The Z should go up...
It sounds to me like you are doing it right. Did you try hand turning it both directions or just one? On time on my lathe, I dropped a screw...
Did you potentially say your Z zero is the machine bed in your CAM, but you probed the top of the work piece? If so you will only cut air. I have...
I have a genuine Arduino Uno running one of my machines and have not had a problem in the six years I have used it. It replaced the clone I tried...
You can overtighten the screw that takes the slop out of the anti-backlash nut causing it to bind.
If you are using soft limits, there is no need for them up front. If you are not using soft limits and you are worried that you may crash into the...
Have homed your machine successfully? Are any of the limit switches activated? How far away were you from the probe when you started the probing...
I got the post processor from here: Rotary Post processor I modified it a bit so it posts the finished file in the .nc format. You do not need to...
Some things I can think of would be that the ball screws may be a little longer than needed with thinner plates. So you may need longer spacers...
If using a diode laser, you will only be able to cut certain colors of acrylic.
I built the LEAD lathe referenced above. If you are using Vectric Software, the postprocessor I use works great. It converts mm to degrees. I...
Can I just ask a quick clarifying question? Is it laid out like this? [ATTACH]
First read through the docs if you are using a Blackbox to control your machine. docs:blackbox-4x:connect-3-wire-laser [OpenBuilds Documentation]...
I could not find those, but you could always export them as an .stl file from here using sketchup 3D Warehouse
