Darn ... we are getting close to Christmas and, well, this year at least, there could of been a miracle on my street instead of 34th. o_O As I...
Well, my hunt for a more appropriate power supply sent me back to China. I also almost forgot the CNC xPro only takes up to 24 Volts as I was...
I'm known to be a very patient person ... most of the time. This project is no exception as I am learning along the way. I would of preferred to...
My first problem was a lose wire at the controller. Oddly enough, it was for the X axis which was working just fine all this time. The wheels for...
So I switched from the GRBLcontroller to the UniversalGcodeSender-v1.0.7 to communicate with the controller (CNC xPro). It adds some nice easy...
Thanks. I thought so. Those areas should have the tool end where it begins - seems obvious as it does it fine with the smaller circles. Why...
After a bit of an absence (health and work), I finally got around to a practice 'real' cut on a piece of wood ... An 80x80 fan grill. It's an STL...

Typical tolerance, out of factory/extruder seems to be around +3.25mm/-0mm for cut lengths. Shipping of cut lengths longer than 1500mm could be a...
Inspiring !
There is also an updated version of the SketchUp plates, some hole spacing being adjusted a bit more and a taller front X plate for those wanting...
Though my 'recent' experience, the V-slot seem to be close to 'standard' tolerance for extrusion, as seen with a few nearby extruders who referred...
What if you turned things around : make your X the width of the door, instead of its length ? The length of the door would thus be Y and you...
I would suggest that you do not get too hung up on the term "machinist". By definition a machinist is merely a person who uses machine tools to...
The only way to freak a trained monkey out is to cut off the supply of dry banana chips and peanuts ... poor thing can't really care about...
