There's another maker by the name Beardyblair that built an XL Sphinx with similar specs. I would link the build but don't know how. To be honest,...
Anthony, when I built my Sphinx, I had no problems with the weight but mine was an 800w spindle. I think the 2.2kw is a few pounds heavier. How...
Hey this weekend I will take a look at my Granite and Sphinx models. The Y axis end plates will work for sure and I think the Y axis gantry plates...
I tried to incorporate ballscrews with the Sphinx but ended up designing a completely different machine. I think the way I used ballscrews with...
That's actually a really interesting site. They have some nice linear motion components.
I considered an extruded tslot table when I built my Sphinx. I'm not exactly sure what's held me back. Those extrusions look awesome though. I...
Thanks! It sounds like you're working on an awesome build. You should definitely start a build log. I considered a fixed gantry machine for the...
Hey thank you! Yeah they are THK 20mm & 15mm rails. My first machine was an Open Builds Sphinx. That machine introduced me to the world of CNC...
Super glue and blue painters tape is a great way to hold stock until you can machine a fixture or clamps. I'm only suggesting this as I've read...
Really want to go the DIY route. I'm trying to think of a way to seal pieces of rubber together. I know you can cut and fold some materials to...
Hey Hugues, What size power supplies are those you're using? I read your post about 24v & 36v psu. My Sphinx only used a single 24v psu for...
I still need to settle on some sort of protection for the linear rails & carriages. I'm also waiting for the g1/4" bsp tap to mill a 2 position...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Worked on the drag chains this weekend. The enclosure is probably next on the list. I'm just waiting on one more material. I...
Thanks buddy!
I'm interested to hear more about this aluminum tslot base. Is it extrusion or one of those cast tslot tables?
Probably my main motivation at this point is I have a mini Harbor Freight lathe I plan to CNC once the Granite machine is complete. I know there...
Hey Scybuck your machine looks like a little power house! What is that clamping system on your wasteboard? I like the 2.2kw spindle. I actually...
This is definitely on my "To Do ASAP" list. (Incredibly long list)
What are the specific alarm codes? Most issues that completely prevent a grbl machine from running have to do with your E-Stop or limit switches....
Nope. It's almost the same. The gantry does lean back a little bit more so the orientation of the work area has shifted towards the back of the...
