I like this particular rig. It is an orbiting time lapse rig. Orbiting Time Lapse Rig Or this: [MEDIA]
If it is a large object, have some 3/4" EMT conduit pipe bent into two circles with different diameters and make a dolly with these wheels. 4...
How big of an object? What is the background? If the background is important (all 360 degrees) than ignore my next suggestion. How about a...
Quality assurance and customer support is the main difference. You will get help when needed from OpenBuilds. Also, the parts are not sourced...
If the rack and pinion gears are disengaged, the motors should not spin. Are the gears forced against the rack by a spring like many are? If so,...
That looks really cool, Plasma. I am in the midst of working out the fittings before cutting more plates. Somehow I had a bunch of holes off by...
I like Fengrave as well, but I just recently picked up Vcarve desktop from the OpenBuilds Part Store. If you do use Fengrave, the default speed is...
Steps/mm depends on your mode of transmission (belt pitch or screw pitch) but there are 200 steps per rotation of the motor with no microstepping...
So, yesterday I was trying to mill holes in a series of angled aluminum brackets. I originally started with a helical drilling tool path and a...
See this thread Enclosure height for high z, lead 1010 ?
Smart move to avoid the CNC shield. Especially if it is a clone that is obsolete. The BlackBox will not work with Mach 3. However, if you are...
It is approximately 860 mm high to the top of the Z stepper, but that was me measuring it from a Sketchup drawing I found a while back. I can not...
I am glad you got it figured out.
Also, if you decide to use one of those listed GRBL interfaces, choose bCNC, Universal G code sender, or GRBL Panel. Those are well known on this...
What program (ie sketch) is loaded on the arduino? If it is GRBL why not just use a GRBL sender rather than a serial monitor? I don't know if a...
It seems that if you put two x gantry plates at the proper spacing you desire and then just put two separate z axis with both steppers running of...
Nah. The pandemic has nothing to do with Chinese online sellers not responding. :) That being said, have you checked all the wiring for shorts?...
I am confused. I the first post you said: In the second post you said: So are you using GRBL on the arduino to control the stepper motors,...
I would stick with 8 microsteps. How fast is your feed speed (not acceleration rate)? I once ran a project at 127mm/min because I forgot to...
Because I am sure my frame is square, I use a set of 1-2-3 blocks and I move the gantry forward to where I can place the blocks between the gantry...
