Surprisingly no, but I do plan to make a single piece aluminum bed at some point. I think that the black stuff tying the two halves together is...
NVM, I think this cable from my local store, should be perfect, [link removed]
That reminds me, is there a recommended wire gauge for these?
Probably, my Makita 700c is 710 watt, and it cuts aluminium and carbon fibre without issues. Personally, I'd recommend the more powerful motor as...
It appears to be a fairly common H17 4-pin aviation style plug, a larger one would have been better, but Im not fussed about soldering the wires...
That’s pretty much what most folk seem to be saying. I think the Makita being a brushed motor is a large part of why it’s so loud.
So, I might have ordered a new spindle today… I do like my Makita, but it’s sooooo loud it’s damaging my hearing. And I miss ER11 collets, they...
100% agree, ABS or ASA are the best options - even PETG will go soft from a hot spindle.
Cheers, the surgery went really well, aside from a regression 3 weeks later. But my vision is still twice as good as it was prior. I am going to...
True. I do have the din rails, so that isn’t an issue. I’ve done very little on my projects this year, I should have had loads of time due to...
ball screws is definitely on my todo list also, I have one on my Z axis already, and the motion is really nice. i finally started work on my...
There's no reason it won't, assuming the Duet has a 5v PWM pin it can control as the "spindle" and set 0% = Off, 1% - 100% for 10k-30k RPM.
i use the lead screw in tension config also. I have bearings at either end, with lock collars to constrain the lead screw.
Cheers, it’s been a fun project. You are 100% right, I wear hearing protection when I’m using it because it’s so loud. I already had tinnitus to...
Those couplers in your first picture are not flexible, and the jaw couplers shown below are IMO very poor, due to introduced backlash.
that z axis looks fairly similar to mine, and it does have space for both size motors. I was more referring to the rest of my machine which only...
NEMA 23’s are definitely ideal, you just need to make sure there is space to Mount them - I stayed with 17’s on mine because there wasn’t space.
Only for those areas you can’t get a sliding T nut into. Mainly I just recommend not using the rotating T nuts because half the time they don’t...
Nice! Enjoy the ride. :thumbsup:
Howdy, thanks for the nice words, I’m glad you found my documentation helpful. Regarding the 2080, you don’t need to do that mod. I only did it...
