I made my own anti-backlash nuts out of Delrin using the cut-offs from the acme screw. I mounted them on the outside of the plates for the 1/2-10...
From Kyo's build, it looks like you can use the 5V and this is how I did mine: [IMG] I just followed the GRBL pinouts above and it worked.
*Edited See this: UNO GRBL DQ542MA Wiring Methods Full disclosure: I am not an electronics genius by any means. I have just enough knowledge to...
Build one of each. Done. Best of both worlds. :thumbsup:
It is too bad you can't easily try the Acme 1/2"-10 5 start precision screws. I use 270 oz Nema 23s on a 1500mm by 850mm (roughly 49" by 26") cnc...
They work great. I used them to double up two 8020s for my X axis. These held them in place while I drilled, tapped, and bolted them together.
One pro of moving gantry is you can feed long sheets in and mill it in sections using pin-hole registration. Another is that you can build a...
Are those from Openbuilds Part Store, or China? I bought few cheap ones out of curiosity and the precision spacers were not very precise. Also,...
No problem, I just took everything off of my order history so it wasn't a lot of work. Again, since you have the shielded wire, I would look at...
Sure, you can make a ball screw work. However, unless all the holes in the ball screw nut line up with the existing holes in the plates and the...
If you want your controller to turn on and off your vacuum and/or your router, you mayl need a solid state relay. This is an example. I ordered...
You have the Xpro, so you can utilize the info from the people making it for set-up. CNC xPRO Controller V2 GETTING STARTED AND BASIC SETUP:...
At that size, you would probably be best off with a moving gantry with a fixed work space. To get the work area you need, you will have to go...
I would be interested in your method for the two sides. What software, did you use a jig? Thanks.
Thanks. I haven't done a whole lot yet. Just a couple of plaques and that Halloween Tombstone. I am currently learning the process of adding...
If I understand what you are saying, I believe that is a safe assumption. For X and Y, the amount you have to subtract is the size of your...
Was the 5th pin for grounding the shielding? I wish I would have thought of it at the time. I guess I could get a few more.
Is the code actually stopping, ie do you see it stop? Or, do you leave and come back and it has stopped? When I was using the DRV8825 drivers and...
I use Fengrave (free) for V-carving. I just make a drawing with whichever font I want by putting the picture/logo/whatever in an LibreOffice...
Ooops! In my mind I got the RJ45 confused with something else. Good catch. As I said, I soldered a longer length of 18 gauge stranded shielded...
