I’ve documented what worked for me, if it helps. One downside is, the LCD screen can’t be used anymore. However, if you run OB Control it’s...
I do enjoy visiting my garage after lunch when I'm working from home... :D I got most of the 240v wiring finished off. [ATTACH]
That's better, nothing like a bit of 3D Tetris to solve a problem! :D [ATTACH]
My steppers are TMC 2160’s, so hopefully they won’t have the same issues. One nice feature is they can be set to 50% power when holding position....
My wiring glands, DC to DC step-down converter (to power the controller with 12v or 24v), and circuit breaker arrived today. I need to rearrange a...
My electrical cabinet now has an eStop / power switch. I’m waiting for some wiring glands to arrive before I add the power cable. I was going to...
Cheers, I’m hoping to finish it off today, but I might be being a bit optimistic.
I made some 3D printed drill guides today, but ran out of time to use them. Apparently building furniture for my daughter is higher priority....
Yep, I’ve bought a stack of GX16’s in various pin counts, and I will be soldering all the the wires. For all of the internal terminals, I’ll be...
I’ve got brass hex stand-offs that I’m going to use for the pcb’s - I think they should be adequate. The enclosure came with an earthing strap,...

I’d love to take credit, but it’s a joke commonly used by machining YouTubers.

Wow, that was fast! Good old FedEx got it from China to my house while my wife and daughter were away! :D And my [removed] order of cabling...
It sounds like you have serious backlash problem you need to solve. The other possibility that springs to mind, is you have binding on your lead...
I’m yet to design my X/Y ball screw upgrade, but I think the best idea is to model it in cad. Then you can move the bed assembly around to work...
i have a dust separator followed by a hepa filter equipped vacuum cleaner (I also use the disposable paper bags in it).
Don’t get me wrong, I still had dust extraction on for the fine particles. I just didn’t use the below shirt equipped version. The one I used is...
i found using titanium coated, solid carbide burr bits gets amazing results on carbon fibre. To bore the holes accurately, I used 250mm/m, but...
Cheers, I’m really happy with the results, my 3D Printer has never looked so cool! i did video making it, but I’m not sure it turned out that...
