That is what I did, but used open builds parts. I can do 49" x 26.5". What I have learned is that I cut in the same 12x 18 area, so I probably...
324,999,996 people in America use it. My kids prefer metric and after 45 years of adding, subtracting, and dividing fractions I switched over to...
Maybe I should learn Braille first...just in case.
Check out this guy's build. If I had a shop with room, I would copy this. His videos are very well done. [MEDIA]
I can't believe I just did this, but I ordered a K40. I have all the extrusions, steppers, and drivers I bought a year ago for my 1500 x 750 ORCA...
Thanks for the info on the analog meter. I am seriously considering modifying one of these 40 watt lasers. and making it bigger similar to this build.
If you are using Estlcam to run your Gcode with the built in Estlcam Controller on an "arduino" based machine, then you can not use the Openbuilds...
Estlcam is great. Draw your stuff in whatever CAD you like and save it as a .dxf file. No need to draw in 3D. Also you can use the same file on...
I am going to go with Sharmstr's theory. Although difficult to read your numbers, it did not look like you zeroed everything out once you got the...
Interesting build. I have been looking at these lately. They are only about $100 more than a good laser diode and can cut thicker material. Had...
I will check the next time I am out there, but I believe there was a drain wire. I bought the shielded wire for protection from noise so my...
I bought an SSD a while back for the better laptop that had the hard drive crash. I was thinking of putting it in that one, but it needs a...
I used this for my motors and it works great. It is 18 gauge 4 wire stranded and shielded. They sell it by the foot in the store. There is a two...
I use an old crappy 11" laptop someone gave me that runs WIndows 7. It is so slow all it can run is Estlcam. Therefore, I don't bother to try to...
If you have to get new drivers, I would get higher amperage drivers like the DQ542MA drivers. The new Black Box may also be an option. I can't...
The Gradius runs GRBL so it should work. Estlcam can be used for free if you want to try it.
It works with Estlcam as well. An Xbox controller is what I use to jog the machine around. Estlcam works with the Xpro since it is arduino based.
Out of curiosity, I loaded your file in Estlcam to look at it. I noticed a couple things, but maybe they were intentional. First picture - in...
That is beautiful! I have never used an endmill that small for aluminum. I am curious what you feed and speed was?
There are liquid latex masking fluids that you paint on and peel off. Here is an example. I can't endorse it since I have never used it....
