Just to second what others have said - Great work & great build. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Just a general explanation... Whereas vinyl cutters developed using the HPGL route CNC machines developed using the Gcode route. The result is...
Sounds like an excellent idea to me (I like multi-purpose machines) I look forward to following your build. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Hi Rob, Laser cutting vinyl requires extensive fume extraction and other safety measures so, overall, it is best avoided. It can be done safely...
Hi Robert, If it’s any help this information has been taken from my working notes… Clean at 140 deg.F Etch – Caustic Soda 10 to 30 seconds...
Oh well, It was just a thought. :) Perhaps changing to the twin belt system may be the way forward...
I think that's basically what I did (my project started about 10 years ago) and from the initial design it just evolved. No matter how you try,...
Excellent work David :thumbsup: (nobody will notice the gouge :D ) Tweakie.
Hi James, Welcome to the community. There are just sooo many variations of design when it comes to CNC machines you really need to just keep...
Very impressive results with the 6061 - my congrats on your machine build and it's subsequent stiffening modifications. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Excellent work Ben you have put a lot of effort into helping others along with their builds. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Hi Eagle, Just something to factor into the equation… In standby many stepper drivers reduce their current to the motor winding's – the drivers...
Very neat idea Chris. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Nice work Alex, I especially like the idea of adding side mount holes for other devices - that could be most useful. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
It sounds like the PSU is dead and a replacement is needed. On a side note - With many PSU's the cooling fan is temperature controlled and only...
Just offering advice - From my experience I have found that reliability comes from precision but hey, it's your build and you should proceed as...
I think you will do better with a 6mm cutter but spindle power is something you may have to try and see. Unfortunately I have no experience with...
I would be inclined to go to an engineering shop or a friend with a lathe and have a truly concentric 5mm end. Just my opinion. Tweakie.
I just knew you would find a way. :D Tweakie.
