To specifically answer your question, if you go back to the oldest OpenBuilds videos, you'll see a requirement for sanding the ends of the lead...
Theoretically you’ll be off .35mm and I say theoretically because the end plates may not be all that accurate. You can make up half with 1/8”...
I watched the video. Move the motor up and take the slack out of the belt.
The issue here is belt stretch. The examples you have shown help reduce the probability of jumping teeth but don’t do anything about belt stretch....
As David notes, there are a number of YouTube videos on the subject, many of which are simpler. No matter which you go with though, always park...
You really don't need to adapt the existing kit as the 1515 has most of the parts you need. All you really need to is replace existing parts with...
Looks very promising.
You might look into constant force springs. You don't have the additional inertia of the counterweight to overcome.
What do you mean by 2x2? Using lumber? Tubing? What.
Best suggestion would be to build it upside down to where the jet is shooting away from machine rather than into the middle of it. And what I mean...
If you do find you need to extend it down, do not 3d print an extension. It won’t provide the stiffness this requires. Go to the hardware store or...
According to the user manual the gray wire jumper shouldn’t be there for use with 230V power. That’s only for use with 120V power.
If you're using an older version of Sketchup try OpenBuilds ACRO System
Depending on your shaft size, you could drill out a Mounting Hub (5mm) to fit but I wouldn’t trust that on a nema 34. Best bet would be getting a...
Rotary is not specifically a 5th axis. It can also be the third in a 3 axis machine. And what you seek is possible with a modified OpenBuilds LEAD...
Can you give us an idea what you’re looking for in the way props? Basically, is it possible that this could be done three axis front and back or...
Unfortunately, you're probably going to need to market it locally as once built, these systems take a lot of effort (and money) to ship. As far as...
To use a simple analogy, comparing a CO2 laser to a CNC machine is like comparing a racehorse to a plow ox. One needs to be fast and light and the...
First thought was that it might be an issue with rigidity but rigidity wouldn't cause overcarve. But then the next thought was maybe it's not...
