He has $1 set to 25 milliseconds, so the motor will power down after 25ms. I guess it should be set to 255 so that it doesn't ever idle the z...
Also, 250mm/sec2 is still kinda low. At that acceleration, it'll take about 3 seconds for the gantry to cross your table in the Y axis: 1.5...
Too many? I've watched *ALL* the AvE videos, including the now-deleted festivus special! Mind you, I never finished watching the BOLTR of the...
MTO published a new build: Just some repairs and upgrades to my drill press and mitre saw using c-beam. Read more about this build...
About 4 years ago, I started building a bike (well, trike, actually, but who's counting?) and to make the cuts easy, I bought a cheap mitre saw on...
just wondering, instead of set-screw, why not just drill through all the way and use a tapered pin? Less likely to break, less likely to strip,...
If I'm using a stepper driver such as DQ542MA Stepper Motor Driver, I don't need a shield for my arduino, do I? I should just be able to wire...
MTO published a new build: Building a small mill to match my 7x12 lathe. Read more about this build...
It looks like there are at least 3 plates that I could order from the parts store to use as a NEMA23 motor mount on a C-beam. Is there an...
So... I have access to a laser cutter, and the small footprint of the phlatprinters really appeals. I forget the kerf on the cutter, but it is...
Why only 2 axes? That'll let you turn many things, but you're missing out on threading, which I think would be really useful. I guess you don't...
Now that I search again, I really worry about my google-fu. There's a bunch! Still haven't found an "easy" yet. Seems everyone does about the same...
Paper is cheap and easily obtained. I figure its awesome for a prototype. I don't think I'll trust it in the long run though, because I worry...
Well, there's 3 issues. First, I think it would take the folds OK and resist mechanical failure from being stretched and compressed repeatedly,...
I was looking at the C-Beam machine, and thought it really needed some kind of cover over the Y-axis so that it doesn't just collect chips and...
MTO published a new build: Making a bellows to cover a C-beam to prevent swarf from gumming up the works. Read more about this build...
Hey Mark! That's cool, but you're not selling acme rod to match!
... and I think I skimmed your description too fast. Rack&pinion on the Y axis is good! however, I still think everything I said is pretty much...
I'm curious about your dimensions: 1200mm is three-quarters of an inch short of 4 feet,and 2700mm is 8foot 10.3 inches... You're really close to a...
In short, I think you mean it needs a live-center tail-stock. ymilord: awesome work!
