I'm using 3.5Amp drivers with a Toshiba TB6560 chip. ("chinese" ebay drivers) I've limited the current at 1 of 1.5A right now. For the DRV8825 /...
ATmega32u4 i read, so it's a Arduino micro?
Love this project! Which Arduino are you using, it's not a Arduino nano is it? (don't think it's capable of emulating key strokes cause it does...
I guess MDF would last long enough for you to mill some decent plates, good thinking! The mounting block is a 8x8x2cm milled aluminium block,...
Have fun building!:thumbsup: Note on the MDF plates; That's not gonna last, the MDF will be to soft to hold the axles in place. Please read my...
Little update; Since the machine has to be "portable" (what's in the name), i made a little cart from scrap wood and 3 little swivel casters on...
The control board is a chinese USBCNC 4-axis controller, as found on ebay for around 30 USD (search for 'usbcnc'). The software comes with the...
Thanks for the info and the health tips :thumbsup:
Looks really clean, good job! Wondering what power the laser diode has? Engraving aluminium and glass is possible is see (or plexiglass?)
Yep, I know the phoenix 3d printer. I have ordered one on feb 1st, still waiting for any sign of EZ3D. I sent an email to them for any updates on...
Today i have made my first PCB.. ever! :) A level bed is very important for milling PCB tracks, because you don't want to cut too deep. I have...
I did install the camera today, did not use it yet for real when milling. It can be very handy i think, but only if it is (and stays) accurate....
I added a camera (endoscope type) on the Kress mounting block. I mounted it through a aluminium profile en fixed it with a simple screw, hoping it...
Little update; I moved the Y axis limit switches from the fixed table to the movable gantry. This way i have one bunch of cables, eliminating teh...
Yes. i have the "1050 FME-1" (low speed) version. To date i did no extensive milling with it yet, so i can't tell you too much about it. I have...
Just at the back, can't see it properly on that picture. It is however visible on this one: http://www.openbuilds.com/attachments/dsc_0034-jpg.2813/
Little add-on for my machine; a Z-axis touch plate. I mounted a 6,3mm jack socket on the gantry. The touch plate has a 6,3mm plug so i can plug it...
Great! thanks a lot!
What type of camera did you use?(link?) Looks small and easy to mount..
Like the slotted bed! Just curious; the wooden bed itself is also exactly 20mm i presume? How did you get it flush with the 20x20 beams?
