Oooo, piece of candy! Now what to do with the remaining 99?
It's been a while since the last update. Shout out to @Chris Laidlaw for making the z axis rail spacers. He'll more than likely be making more...
How do you plan to compensate for backlash?
An optical limit may not be the best idea consiy that there will be chips/dust flying around. If you are absolutely dead set on this, check...
I would just replace the end plates with plates that accommodate a 45 degree. The is the easiest and cleanest solution. It's a printer, so you...
You can, but you should learn the ins and outs of 3 axis first.
Also make sure your couplers are actually attached firmly. Your electronic settings don't matter if the motor/lead is just spinning in the coupler.
It's been a while, but everything (minus the plates) is finally here. A few simple mods were made to allow for both belt and direct drive. I'm...
It's a mechanical issue, not a digital issue.
This idea of a printer/mill combo has been discussed plenty of times. These machines operate on completely opposing principles. Those principles...
I'm not sure where you are located, but a 1.5kw 110v can easily be had. However, many have stated that going 110v is a waste. Voltage in any...
Did you try swapping the steppers around?
Just to confirm, do you have it set for 1/8 stepping?
It just depends on what you are doing. Length, diameter, pitch, load, mounting method, material type, and I'm sure there's more, all have a factor.
Tree-fiddy for that eBay/Ali special. :ROFL: I didn't even dare look at the Clearpaths. I've always gotten my steppers through...
I was looking into servo setups. That would be about $350 for steppers and drivers. 15mm Offset vs 20mm drop No Offset It didn't even occur to...
The Nema 34 510oz has an inertia of 1000g*cm^2. This would bring the ratio down to 12:1. Speaking of motor size,these pics show the difference...
Inertia matching.... yep, you just threw me down another rabbit hole. I did some quick math. Accounting for the plate and ballscrew (no pulley,...
I did consider belt reduction for the purpose of torque and space saving, but I hadn't considered the "smoothing" benefit as much. I've spent a...
Everything is all cleaned up from the protective fluid. Here's an unmounted picture for size reference. The linear components kind of has me...
