I also "tested" the TAP Plastics fluorescent orange acrylic scrap I had with the diode laser. It definitely did not pass through when I moved it...
So I got around to making my focusing gauge. I cut it out of acrylic with my CO2 laser. I love cutting acrylic with that because it is fast and...
Your easiest bet to get started - if the y gantry plates have holes based on 20 mm spacing- would be to buy the 1000 mm C-Beam® XLarge Linear...
Also check to be sure all your flexible shaft couplings from the motor to the screw are not loose.
There are only 3 axis so I use the Y axis as my rotary axis. It made the most sense to me for this build since it rotates toward and away from...
Although not a rotary video, I found this one helpful. [MEDIA]
Here Is how I do everything. The post processor is linked below. I hope this helps you, and hopefully others as well. Disclaimer: IF YOU DO NOT...
I really liked his method of alignment in the video. It has got me thinking...
I just showed someone on the Facebook group how to do this, so here is the picture I posted. As Peter said, click the "Open Gcode from file" and...

Is it a floor wax, or desert topping? For those not old enough: [MEDIA]
Ever since getting VCarve Desktop v11 I have enjoyed making 3D carves from wood. My current Ox variant was limited to 70mm in the Z axis so there...
Giarc published a new build: I built the lathe as a dedicated rotary axis, but I soon realized I could have a back up CNC for very little...
I have been toying with the idea of making a 3 axis rotary CNC machine for awhile. I wanted to make it with off the shelf OpenBuilds parts so...
It is possible. At minimum, you would need a longer lead screw plus the tensioning bearings and two 1500mm Cbeams. You would also need the...
I just messed around with it, too and it worked or me. I resized it randomly to check that before positioning. [ATTACH]
I think the best way is to use a ball end mill with a 10% stepover or less. If you use a larger one for roughing -- which will make it quicker --...
