Is your z motor always powered when your machine is on? I had the grbl settings set where mine was not (can't remember which one of the top of my...
Aluminum and acrylic for sure. I have never attempted iron plates, so I can't comment on that.
The reason the DQ542MA drivers cost twice as much is because they can actually supply the needed amperage of the larger stepper motors. The...
How wide is the slot? Is it the width of your end mill? If so, use the slot cutting tool in sketchucam. I made slots in a project that were wider...
I do use the DQ542MA drivers and have them attached to an Arduino Uno. They work great. Kyo has a good resource for wiring them. DQ542MA Wiring...
To calculate your extrusion length needed, you need to know how big your cutting area needs to be (in your case 1000x1000mm) and how big your...

I think the C-beam would be fine. It wasn't available in 1500 mm lengths when I made my purchases. It is not that much more expensive. I am...
Sounds interesting. It would be cool to see it in action. I had a debate with a friend regarding printing vs milling with regards to making...
I really like the acme lead screws, too. Oh, I also bought a laser for it. Since I am mounting it on this one, I will have two machines in one...
