New video and pics in the build! This is a z-axis both with neither a travelling motor nor a protruding rail. Bit tricky, but I like the results...
Brown will cut better with a diode laser (darker colour, more absorption). Dollar Tree also has black foam board, sometimes. Might be worth a try....
I think the way you have it is perfect, personally- you don't want to pile up too many axes on one chain or you end up with hefty cumulative...
What's the total usable volume on this thing? Or do you not know what your spindle setup is going to be yet? The machine itself looks really clean...
Yeah, the original rule was that it had to be complete so people couldn't just randomly fire off half-baked builds with what they had lying around...
Still a fair bit of work left to go, and a very long way behind schedule thanks to a variety of factors not really relating to the build itself,...
Rob Taylor published a new build: Integrating custom machined components and off-the-shelf CNC components to create a portable diode laser etcher...
Do you have to be winning the electronics for that build in order for it to be valid? Like, you can't win NEMA 23s and a router if your submission...
Has to be published- by pressing "Submit Build"- so it's publicly viewable between Jan 1st and the end of February. Has to be complete (and marked...
That's not a bad project. The results are... Not great. Seems like you're better off sticking with PhotoScan for reasonable detail, unless the...
Sounds prohibitively expensive to either hold screws in 1mm increments or custom-order screws from suppliers. A 25mm screw might be 10c, and then...
Another option in addition to trochoidal milling/adaptive clearance strategy is the use of proper roughing/finishing passes. This would require a...
Something I've looked into occasionally, definitely a project I want to do, but I haven't come across any solid guides or background info yet....
I nominate @MaryD for sainthood. :p
These questions are confusing. Everyone seems to be treating "the singular machine" as the end, and not the means, or merely a step on the...
I'm in the middle of a build that should be completed in January if all goes well, but it's not all OBPS stock, or even off-the-shelf parts....
Necropost. :D Came here to ask this very thing. A top-level collection of simple PDFs for quick one-off jobs that would be slowed down by using...
Hmm. I guess you'd need three times the cross-sectional area/total volume (of a 2D prismatic shape) to match the absolute values of an equivalent...
Have you got any specific information sources on the flexural and torsional rigidities, resonance characteristics, etc of G10? I understand it's a...
Yeah, I understood completely what it looked like from the link. There's really not much wrong with the design, it just wasn't executed that well....
