Kind of a hack but you could use Z instead of Y because GRBL homes Z first. Not sure what the GCode gen implications are. Probably a way in the...
stripping usually means the threads. But anyway, user error? well, maybe but these low profiles are more prone this so you can't lay it all on...
Stripping? none. Blowing out the hex socket? several, all when unscrewing. I do think the OB low profile screws are weak. Probably because there...
Yes, that's a good pragmatic solution. Newer GRBL variants have the ability to flip all sorts of external pins, you wouldn't need to steal...
@dazeddnc In general, probing is a very constrained operation, I don't see it happening in anything beyond a very specialized program. Are you...
Interesting. Might work depending on the the thickness of the plates. How are you attaching the the 10x40s to the 40x40s?
Yeah, I'm looking at an Avid Pro4824 myself. Though, there is a design taking shape on CNCZone, Brevis-HD, that I'm following. It seems to...
Maybe this is too obvious to need saying but in the case where you have an uneven work piece, it is a good idea to surface it to a uniform...
Gary made a point earlier that I think you missed. Don't use such short movements, use the longest you can. That will give you far better...
$325USD for the 17" LS Positioner. But, you need a router table. I hate the dog bone look, prefer my wood working to look hand made.
Old school for everything but the carvings. With the LS Positioner on a router table, it's actually really fast. Much faster than CNC. Including...
Not missing that at all. I just was struck by you confidence in printed plastic.
F360 certainly has a bigger learning curve. For arbitrary carving, VCarve is easier but I'm pretty sure you can do it in F360 as well. F360 gives...
Well, good luck with that. Personally I'd rather use baltic birch plywood cutouts stacked up than rely on an extruded plastic. 3D printing is...
What was that made of? PLA? PETG? ABS? I'm very leery of using a printed spindle mount.
I think simple grooves are enough with tnuts. It would be interesting to see an FEA of the assembly to see how it handles torsion.
What machine are you using? Have you cut anything with it successfully? It looks like you need to tighten things up a bit.
That makes sense. Though it points out the likelihood that Aspire/VCarve operate under the covers in a "unitless" fashion. The difference in the...
One thing about VCarve (and I suspect Aspire, too) is that if you switch from inch to mm, it doesn't do the conversions for you. The actual...
I honestly don't know, that engineering is beyond me. If I were doing it, I'd find some one who can do that kind of analysis.
