Looks like I was losing steps on the retract. I changed the gearing and adjusted my microsteps down and it appears to be holding the depth...
I tried the $1=255, but didn't notice any difference. I did a little more experimenting, and what is happening is that each time the Z axis moves...
I probably wouldn't try to launch a space shuttle with it, but it's surprisingly rigid and accurate. I haven't done any in depth testing with...
Very cool Steve. Love to see new, original designs like this. I 3d printed some plates and assembled a Sphinx, and was surprised how rigid it was....
Increasing the acceleration ($120-122) made a ton of difference. It still seems a little slow, but that may just be inherent with leadscrew...
I'm using stock grbl firmware, and my settings are as follows. Really the only thing I've changed are my steps ($100-102) and the max feed rates...
Anybody have any ideas as to why my rig is moving so slowly? [MEDIA] Max feed rate ($110/$111) is set to 1000mm/min. I didn't see anything...
Brian Popp published a new build: A tribute build based on Kyo's wonderful CBeam Sphinx. My hope is to improve on that build slightly, but to be...
You had me worried there for a minute, but there actually doesn't appear to be much waste in the front (at least with a large router): [IMG]
Yeah, that blue line is at the center of the spindle, but I think the perspective may have just made the improvement look better than it actually...
Thank you kyo. If you don't think it would be outright disastrous, I think I'll give it a try. Here's a rendering of what it would look like and...
I've been researching CNCs for a few months now for my first build, and instantly fell in love with the Sphinx. I'm in the final days of tweaking...
That's an interesting idea and I'd love to see how it works out. Curious why you wouldn't just buy 6mm aluminum and not bother with...
Very cool. I am currently in the process of doing almost exactly the same thing. I even picked the same build to model my design on. I was...
