Is the gantry square? I had a little accident yesterday and sent a command for my gantry to move -450.5 mm, but some wood chips got under the "."...
Quick question: How did you paint the foam, was there a coating that was placed on it first that hardened it to strengthen it, or just painted....
OK. Thanks.
Estlcam has a GRBL post processor so it should work fine with an Xpro 4. I use it on my Arduino based controller which uses GRBL. I am curious if...
After doing what Peter said, I would focus on one axis at a time. Use a v-bit and a ruler and try sending it 500 mm. Then do the steps/mm...
Did you do a finishing pass at full depth? If you leave about 0.1mm and do a full depth finishing pass, it should clean it up, but I thought...
This is my current set-up Lead Screw Driven Ox Derivative (850x1500). I am replacing the X -gantry soon with the High Z LEAD Mod. But that mod...
Do you have a meter stick so you can have it travel further during calibration? It will be more accurate.
Thanks for correcting that. I can't believe I forgot that and it was just pi day last month.
I think you would be better off adding linear rails to it. A long time ago, someone on this forum bonded round steel rods to the v-slot so they...
I bet you could cut it much slower with a single flute end mill, but after looking it up and seeing the price of it, it would be some very...
The formula you need for figuring out the rack and pinion is: steps_per_mm = (steps_per_revolution*microsteps)/mm_per_rev So I believe that gear...
Good point about the lead screws. If one were to go that large. I recommend these because you can source "OpenBuilds type" anti-backlash nuts. But...
You could probably email and ask them for custom cut frame members. Although, the 1500 mm extrusions are only 59" so that may not be possible....
As others have mentioned, helical is the way to go. I use a 1/8 for 1/4 inch holes and I do a rough cut then a finishing cut. I do this in wood...
Awesome! And you nailed the landing! Does the precision of the landings go down after each lift-off?
One problem I can see is that your body has a normal flora (bacteria and yeasts) growing on it and if you kill or weaken it too much, it makes it...
I just looked at Nefabb and it looks impressive, is it free for hobbyists?
For those that did not look at your file, I downloaded it for this example and yes, that was a huge (nearly 1 meter) rosette. What I have found...
To scale .stl, or other files: Step 1) Measure your item's dimensions: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Step 2) Modify --> select "scale" and select the...
