I've periodically looked into this, because 5 axis is my ultimate goal- whether with OB parts or a scratch build, or maybe both for different...
Looks good! Inertia is definitely the killer feature of proper video sliders, and it looks like it got delivered here- the test shots were nice! I...
Seems a waste to get a 5 axis board and only use half of 'em. So... 5 axis mill, VMC style. The CAM is the limiting factor on those builds, but...
The way I did it was to use (built-in) GCodeTools in Inkscape to generate the Gcode from scaled vector images, then open that in bCNC and edit as...
Table-type (ie. gantry) builds are viewed like a mill, from the top down. So left is -X, right is +X, away is +Y, and towards you is -Y. Dos and...
G20/G21 operation isn't the same as $13 report inches feedback, so make sure both are set properly per-run. Other than that, I don't use...
If your measurements are in metric, but grblPanel is operating in imperial, your actual motions will obviously be 25x larger than they should be....
Seems like it would essentially be just over double in cost off-the-shelf, since right now you'd have to use two separate V-rail tracks screwed...
Oh, you're differentiating V-edge and V-groove track? That makes sense. I hadn't seen either, but I'm glad that at least the V-edge track exists....
Not really sure what you're saying here. What exists, if you haven't seen steel V-track (which is what I was referring to in the singular)?...
Linear bearings will always far outperform V-wheel, unless maybe it's steel V-wheels on steel track (which doesn't exist...?). I know the 20mm...
How odd! Yeah, I've imported SVGs and even copied/pasted rasters to path-trace, and it hasn't skipped a beat on any of it. v0.91 on Win7 here.
Inkscape should be able to directly generate the G-code from the PDFs with [the pre-included extension] GCodeTools. I've had consistently...
On a single driver, if you don't have your current limiting set correctly, it could fry your driver. Even if you do, it could overload your...
Cool. Yeah, that profile's what I'll be using when I can eventually afford to spring for the holy grail: 5 axis, epoxy granite/polymer concrete,...
Linear rail is this stuff: 20mm 42.5'' Rail Guideway System Square Slide Unit Linear Motion See the 17.75kN dynamic loading? That means if your...
Are you sure it wouldn't be cheaper/better to use linear rail? It's designed for the kind of loading you appear to be going for. Aluminum...
It's possible to both increase strength and get press-to-contact eccentricity simultaneously using 688z (8x16x5) bearings. You could even...
Ground = Earth, so I wouldn't use that nomenclature when you mean the 0v rail, that's just confusing and potentially dangerous. "0v" isn't...
70?! That's a huge machine! I certainly hope the ones you end up going with are good, 'cause that's a lot of money even with knockoff parts...
