Oh, the office computer, by far. This is my photo/video/3D/CAD workstation, my internet and Steam daily driver, I almost live in front of this...
Yeah, same here, really. The two systems I'm running are both self-built. The shop computer's i5-4670K quad-core based, 16GB RAM, no current GPU...
Ha! Given how loud routers are, I dunno how long I could tolerate that. I'd probably build a damping cabinet or rig up some kind of...
Noise-wise the Chinese spindles beat everything else, hands-down, because they generally use larger quantities of higher-grade bearings in...
This is the inherent downside of extrusion machines. They're not several tons of steel being pushed around by multi-kilowatt servos. You just...
Basically all PSUs come like that. Normally it's shielded and secured in operation, inside an electronics cabinet or similar. The PowerCase kit...
Precisely, yeah. I usually have NEMA 17s set to 1.2A. Runs a little cooler and gives some headroom to increase if necessary, but I haven't had to...
Drivers actively limit maximum current draw. Up to that point, it's determined by load (and voltage, impedance, etc). The "idle current" is what...
The main drawback is the lack of protection diodes. The second biggest is the terrible thermal properties. And then yeah, the rest of those....
Note the inrush current paragraph at the bottom of the page, since we're dealing with inductive devices here. Team Yorkshire!
I'd just look up the torque curve of a similarly spec'd (torque, length) NEMA23 motor, tbh. The mechanics are pretty universal at this point and...
Yeah, he'd have to be at 256x(!!!) microstepping to max out the chip then. Good info! Still better to be at full steps if possible, or 2x or 4x...
Try using a 36V power supply. The higher your voltage, the more usable magnetic field (ie. torque) you can build at each step before the rotor...
The stepper motors still need drivers and a power supply in order to actually move. Whether you provide those separately (I'm partial to these if...
Oh, the simple-stream script was linked to by the main documentation page when discussing buffer calculations to optimize motion planning...
I thought about that too, but I think it insinuates a level of speed and asynchronicity that just doesn't apply here. There's really no need to...
Should be pretty straightforward as long as you're comfortable with some beginner-intermediate programming. Generate three random numbers with the...
Looks great! I want a photogrammetry setup, but unfortunately it would likely be primarily for people, which for all practical intents and...
G02 must have both X and Y parameters (in G17 mode). It should (perhaps must) also have both I and J parameters. You can find grbl's error...
Buy the part, drill out the hole, use an M8 nut on top? Or just have someone machine it. I do job shop work, a few others around here do too....
