As for plastics, I have found a local hardware 'salvage' place. They get on bulk bins of drop-off and other scrap from other places. They also...
Getting my machine together, just need to finish the wiring, and get the belts in. Trying I have a 400 w variable spindle. How do I figure out...
Still somewhat a rookie here too, but unless you have a problem with your drive system, once put together, the "Y" motors should always bein sync....
Jonathon, I got my spindle, but it comes with 6mm screws. Yours too? what did you use in the slot to tighten it up?
Here is what I have learned so far with my laser engraver. I this part of the example: G21 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 G0 G90 G54 X204.9491 Y-18.6559...
I had a similar issue with my laser engraver. Started the project over and stopped at the same location each time. After looking several times...
Ok, now to figure out motor connections. I am building a 1000x1500 OX design router. Now none of the motor I have seen have wires long enough....
I like what you did. The 20x40 beam is a good idea, I think I will use it. Now, I just need to wait till they get some on stock.
Jonathon, you have the spindle from Spark Concepts. Does that mount fit right up to the beams from Open Builds, or do you need an adapter plate?

I am planning my machine, and wondering what I should plan for the offset for the wheels. I have seen a couple different plans with a relatively...
I see machines that have double plates (one on either side) of the beams with the pulleys, and other with just one plate. Looking for pros and...
My issue was not that it would switch early, it was that it would not switch and then run over the top on the previous position. I switched my...
anybody know where I can find a pdf drawing of the c-beam xlrge plate?
Thanks David, I figured that would be the answer. I have a few projects already in mind when I finally build my router and wanted to know what...
Craig, I understand the rules, and have no plans to push the switches, but I still would like to know what happens "IF" it happens.
Actually, I am using a laser engraver, both times it has happened is on my machine and a smaller one of my brother's. On his we setup a program...
not repeatable when I want. Just happened a couple times, both times when I was trying to lay out a grid on my table for those positions. Trying...
