Ok, one more question. I have the openbuilds high torque nema23 stepper motors. If I remember right they are rated at 3 amps. I am using dm556...
If I slide the feed speed adjuster to 200 percent could it potentially cause my maximum speed go past what I have the max speed set to in grbl?...
I’m not sure about the error, but my machine was giving me the same issue where the job would stop randomly and I could pause and resume it and it...
Ok, I have ordered one. I have another arduino (not sure if real or fake, but it doesn't show as ch340 on the dropdown menu) I have uploaded...
No dust extraction used. We manually do it sometimes, but not when it’s been giving us issue. yes, cheap arduino ch340 shows in the control drop...
I guess I spoke too soon. I tried to cut a part yesterday, and the machine froze up randomly several times. I never was able to get it to...
Here are a couple updates: We took the gantry off and disassembled the z axis lead screw. Everything really looked ok. Upon reassemble, we...
is the backlash but directional? Could it be what is causing my issue with z sounding bad?
Ok, I will check them out. As for my z binding, I still don’t think I have solved that problem. The back lash nut that I ordered from openbuilds,...
ok. I have checked and the windows selective suspend was enabled. I just went through and disabled it. I also downloaded the ftid driver from your...
It was sounding good enough, and I wanted to try and cut something. I've gone from one problem to the next. Now it is up and running and seems...
I lowered the speed to what you have yours set at, and it still made a noise. It wasn't as loud as it was going slower, but it was still there....
Yes, I could spin it with my fingers. It is difficult to get to one side bc of the location of my limit switches though. However, I have my z axis...
I will check this, but I removed the coupler from the lead screw and run the motor back and forth and it sounds fine in both directions. Wouldn’t...
@Sam Keller ok, I have it set to 400 and now connected to 48v. Seems to be working fine. At least my rack and pinion addition. While making...
No worries! Thanks! Did you use a diode between the two supplies? We have made the plunge to the rack and pinion. We just got parts in and...
@Sam Keller , did you have to do any modification to connect your power supplies in series? (Isolate grounds?) or, do you just connect the + from...
THANKS !!! @Sam Keller Out of curiosity, how fast do you think you can cut wood now? I know previously you said you are pretty much...
@Sam Keller, I think we are ready to follow your upgrade to rack and pinion. We are hoping to be able to increase the speed in which we can...
great info! Thanks! I am trying to contour pieces created on fusion and cut them out of 1-1/2” pine. With the 1/2” bit it seems to do fine until...
