You're in luck! If all you want is the basics, I already did all the work for you here: http://openbuilds.com/threads/dslr-video-slider.648/ -...
Yeah, I'm aware of the chlorinated plastics problems in laser cutting. Definitely a topic to be concerned about. Hence why I'm trying to use very...
I believe that normal laser cutting materials tend to absorb more energy at lower wavelengths, so it may be that performance-wise, 1W 400nm =...
Oh, it was in the programming section of my build write up, so I figured you'd already seen it. Here we are: https://github.com/RobTC/SliderCam
Suitably focused, 250mW will do some decent charring of thicker materials and might cut clean through very thin stuff. It'll pop a balloon and...
Yep. For continuous motion, your number of steps is just one- the end stop. Then the speed is dicated by your slider length over how long you want...
I'll naturally be keeping an eye out. :)
Certainly, just start a thread and I'll check it out. It's easier than you think to make a simple one. :)
While I'm putting the mill on ice for a while (cost!) and moving towards simple laser cutting and 3D printing, I'm still interested in how I'll...
The TCoE I refer to there is specifically the differential between the steel and the concrete- the structure delaminates itself. That may or may...
I'd probably have the extruder on vertically-oriented 2040 and the rest of the machine just 2020, yeah. 3D printers are definitely the cheapest...
Two reasons to consider different width rails, depending on the orientation of your extrusion. If it's vertically mounted, running horizontally,...
When I say mill, I mean actual gantry mill, not a table router. If you're just going for a table router, then the resolution, vibration and...
I don't think I'd like to trust an OX to mill aluminium that precisely. It would be interesting to see how the jigs are externally applicable...
Steppers to worm drives in a simple aluminium enclosure bracket makes sense to me. I'm not even sure it would need buying ($150 for plans sounds...
Still ludicrously expensive for more than one axis, but useful for future reference. Thanks! Definitely worth looking at along with NEMA 34s, I think.
Does anyone know if there's a good "standard" nichrome wire that people use for a foam cutter? Amazon sells fine e-vape heat coil wire by the roll...
This is definitely relevant to my interests. Are there any plans for hard coat V-Slot? That would have been ideal for the project I'm currently...
I think it's fantastic. The twin concepts of freedom of information and freedom of skill is one that's occupied my mind for many years. That is,...
Yep, here's the main thread: http://www.openbuilds.com/threads/just-found-an-interesting-project-that-may-go-to-kickstarter.704/ The general...
