Yeah they make CNC look super easy in the ads. :ROFL: Hard limit error is almost certainly EMI, check your shielding. Feed rate error usually...
Those are quite complex plates. Recess grooves on one side and undercut T-slots on the other. Do you have the capacity to manufacture those...
This is pretty good sleuthing! Are there no ancient forum posts online somewhere about this? Seems like XP/Mach 3 would have been used a lot back...
Fusion's CAM is world class- from our little toys to million-dollar Swiss five-axis units, it's running them all. In theory there are simple...
This, of course, is true. But I do it with $12 drivers, not a $150 BlackBox. :eek: The setting is this one: gnea/grbl - to run a grbl machine you...
If you can get at the sides of the cabinet, don't discount the possibility of pushing, as well as pulling, air. A vacuum hood on one side and a...
Magnetic is a good idea. It may even be sufficient to provide the spring-loading you need to protect the pen tip/paper surface and avoid...
There is a grbl setting to disable the motors, but moving the gantry by hand can obviously turn the motors into generators, sending voltage spikes...
If you use a pushrod on the servo instead of the gravity catch, it should be pretty straightforward to get a similar effect on the ACRO with...
I concur. Having just looked at your pen bracket, I don't think it is backlash any more. When I made a pen holder to test my laser mechanicals, I...
Looks like some significant wiggle in the y-axis and either backlash in the x or flexibility in the pen holder/z-axis/carriage assembly, if I'm...
Since it seems to tend to be on the lower end of the speed scale, have you tried adjusting the G540's smoothness trimpots? In theory, that's what...
*Waits impatiently*
For a start, iirc grbl 1.1g was a weird transitional version sent out to vendors but never officially released, I'd update to 1.1h since that's...
In theory, M4 in laser mode should only allow the laser to fire while it's in G1/2/3 feed motion, not whilst stationary nor during G0 rapids. M3...
Socket head cap screws are my preferred go-to for everything (stock levels allowing, maintaining hundreds of screws is hard) unless clearance...
Sounds like hard limits are turned on, but homing is turned off? You should have both $21=1 and $22=1.
Fwiw, my design in my head is C-Beam based. It's the best bang-for-buck I've seen out there, and if it's rigidly held down to a work surface, the...
Good answer. :) The fix is relatively simple: stop assuming your linear rail has any structural integrity whatsoever. Now design a machine frame...
Not sure I'd be slapping "Machine Design" with my logo all over a bunch of pretty renders if I hadn't done some basic mechanical testing and...
