How about using only one wheel on the bottom of the plate? It will give you more travel distance, maybe more than an inch and you could keep the...
@Fintan Mitchell. 1. You don't past a long file, that way people don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom. You post it in an attached file....
KV (900 in his case) x Voltage. That will be the idle RPM.
I use a 110V air cooled spindle and it doesn't get hot at all but I have never tried to run it for hours at a time at full speed under heave load....
I too use SketchUp Make for all my 2d work. The SketchUCam, that David mentioned above (and which he wrote most of it!!! :D) is excellent for 2d...
The dip in the middle indicates that the gantry, possibly, sags in the middle, most likely from the weight of the spindle/router, so Christian's...
I wonder why the Y C-beam is so long. Isn't it way past the max swing of the lathe? Are you going to use some special cutting tools?
I agree with Gary. Most Hot Wire machines use a 4 axis control, not a two axis, which is what you are planning.
The LM8UU type bearings are for longitudinal motion, not rotational motion. You better off sticking to the normal ball bearings. I think the 3d...
The 8mm rods are a problem with the LM8UU too. I have problems with it and I had searched it and people say they sand them lightly down and then...
David, what do you do with all the rejected prints. I have a 'ton' of them. I kind of hate it that I have to throw them to the garbage. Would be...
David, I think you've reached an amazing accuracy in the video. I don't think you'll be able to achieve much better. This is a free floating...
Many pen plotter use a spring to gently press on the Sharpie, or what ever they are using. Maybe that's what you have to do too, besides a Z axis...
Is the print ready to burn in an oven when finished printing?
Yeah, I use two sides only too. Plenty for me. I used Eagle to make PCBs on my CNC and for having it done in China. Only downside, if it is a...
Eagle is good and it has an option for getting a g-code to route the traces.
I wonder if the problem that you're seeing is traction, as in one side has better traction than the other. If so, the problem is probably weight...
Just google "SketchUp Make 2017"!
I don't have OpenBuilds Control on my computer so I can't check it on it but I noticed that if you have selected a Lathe option you'll get that...
I had looked at DSM before my above post and I noticed that you need to register online first and I thought that that's exactly how Fusion started...
