Oh yeah no, that's plenty good enough for what this machine can do. Five tenths in three inches is great for a benchtop machine that hasn't been...
Zero issues as far as I can tell; column and head were done with a new granite square I got specifically for the job. Everything seems to be...
Inventables?
The obvious solution to get out under $2k is simply to roll your own. Kits are expensive because you're paying for the value-add of having...
I actually took a pic of the original Z leadscrew last night, but forgot to post it: [ATTACH] It comes to basically the bottom of the slot, as...
Mill is currently on hold for a couple of weeks, for multiple reasons. It did, however, cut its first chips, in aluminum and solid cast urethane....
Assuming steppers at 8x microstepping, you have 0.00625mm resolution, or about 2.5 tenths/a quarter thou. An order of magnitude more resolution...
There are length/diameter guides out there, but based on what I've seen, 1605s should be ok at 1500mm. It's definitely on the border of where 25mm...
Doing it in your head requires no keystrokes at all! Unless I'm working precisely. And then I can swipe up my phone calculator in the lockscreen...
I just reread the thread and double checked the wiki and yeah, $23=3 should solve all of your problems. Z goes positive by default, 3 is invert X,...
It's pretty easy as long as you're comfortable with basic mental arithmetic, don't need exact precision, and keep in mind the standard conversions...
Can't power it off a 24V supply, though. I mean, maybe you could, I dunno, but it seems like overkill since it's another motion operation to...
You have the steppers wired straight and using grbl's built-in direction port invert mask $3 (=3)? Not sure I was completely following that part,...
Oh, yeah, then definitely make the most of the budget you have, no need to worry about driver prices. And I like those! They seem very nice. And...
Super quick update. The pretty version, including stand! The big space is for the coolant tank. [ATTACH] Got most of the electronics into the...
Generally speaking, you shouldn't be able to turn screws by hand. I would expect that to be more of an issue with a router than a laser though....
You'd be designing and building your own machine, and programming it manually- so some general understanding of hobbyist CNC machines and how they...
Are your steps properly calibrated? Instead of a nominal $100=40, you have $100=39.947 or whatever. If it's a belt unit, are your belts tight...
Ha! I knowingly went into this not shooting video because video quadruples the amount of time a project takes. I'd still be on with this in June...
It has no current way of defining motion in terms of angles, which isn't much use for rotary machining. For this purpose, you could just as...
