The c - beam was designed for cutting aluminum plates and other 2.5D items. Therefore, you do not need or want a long z-axis because you would...
My guess is that the machine that Gcode was generated for, had its grbl settings different than what you have for your machine. So, if it was for...
When I first saw the ACRO laser build, my brain registered it as ORCA. Not sure why, but then my brain started churning up a logo one boring...
Giarc published a new build: This is my take on the Acro Laser system made from mostly salvaged, scrap, or leftover parts. I modified the plates...
Is your cutting surface flat? I assume it is, but if not it can make some letters get cut deeper as it moves towards the elevated portion....
I was referring to your previous statement below. Although, $14 for 4 drivers may also be part of the issue. ;)
I could only find a few old files I uploaded to my Google drive. I am on vacation and I bought a brand new laptop to bring with. My old one is...
I use a 36V power supply. Your 24 will be fine. Personally, I do not know why people use the all in one boards with the DRV8825s when four of...
If the problem turns out to be your DRV8825s are overheating, the Xpro won't be better. You basically already have one with the stepper shield....
Another option is 3D print a plate to use as a drill guide with a drill press that is squared up. Use the printed part to trace onto aluminum....
Try it again with a fan. I used a small desk fan until I salvaged a decent sized computer fan. It might be the simple solution you are looking...
I agree, but many of the parts are not completely "compatible." On the OB Facebook page today, someone was complaining they could not get their...
I forgot. What controller are you using? Does it have the DV8825 drivers on it like the Xpro? If so, are you blowing a fan on it to keep them...
I do not believe anything is patented. All plans and parts drawings are open source so anyone can build them. The names on their products are...
You need to adjust your steps/mm in your settings in the control software. Google rerap calculator. Also what is your microstepping jumpers set at...
Do you have a fan blowing on it? Those small driver chips can overheat which can cause it to freeze.
I didn't realize you had to solder anything. I use an Arduino and external stepper drivers (DQ542MA) and have never seen a smoothie board in...
It isn't the easiest documentation to find, but they have a very detailed set-up manual here. cnc-mill-guide [Smoothieware]
Some of the GRBL controllers can have different set-ups that can be saved. However, GRBL panel should be able to be taken from machine to...
I like Fusion 360 better, as well. It is easier to make complex parts in my opinion. Pretty much any question I have had I just typed into the...
