In Fluidterm, do CTRL-u to upload the file, or it can be done via a web interface if you have that set up. On windows, the fluidterm option...
Yes, no problem. I have attached two files; upload both (as .yaml versions) and fingers crossed, sending the command $rm=0 should switch between...
FluidNC supports multiple configuration files. You can put the configuration with the pin setup for the spindle in the main yaml file, and then...
There are a number of factors that need to be balanced to work out which type may be the best for you. Water cooled run quieter than air...
I have machines with 2.2kW+ spindles on, and although having an ER20 collet is very nice, most of the time I use 1/8", 6mm and 8mm shank bits....
One of my current machines has exactly this XYYZZ configuration ( "Hawk" Heavy-duty dual-Z pseudo C-Beam ). I only have space for one large...
For sheets of that size, and for situations where the bed is close to vertical, machines like the Maslow cnc provide an alternative configuration,...
Estlcam is not free, but will let you output gcode for free on a trial basis. I have used it for terrain maps on my GRBL machine.
I use a different controller that has a facility to quickly switch back-and-forth between a VFD spindle and laser in one GRBL file, BUT, I have...
Estlcam can pull in STL files and generate appropriate roughing and finishing tool paths. I cut a 200mm x 200mm 3D map of Pembrokeshire in Oak...
Ah, yes I did not spot the acceleration in the video. The motion of the Y sounded ok, up until the motor stall. My hearing is not great, but...
You mentioned in response to one of Peter's questions that you had not changed the acceleration values, but what acceleration values do you have...
Yes 3 angular bearings are quite a common configuration and would be fine. There are a few spindles out there specifically for drilling/tapping...
Hi Bill, It is worth checking in the CNC cookbook feeds and speeds what also happens when the machine cuts at full width (as in slotting) as...
I assumed that the straight section cut that cuts smoothly was in the X-axis that is belt driven, or is the straight cut along the Y direction...
The Meanwell is a fantastic power supply, but if you have large Nema23's, or if the Nema's have a high inductance, then 360W and 24v could indeed...
After a little extra thought, what acceleration settings do you have? That is, although when cutting the circles, both Y and X motors are also...
The red sections will be when both the Y motors and the X motor are all running together and pushing the bit that is chewing hard into the...
Hi Donat, Looks good. Does the unit that takes the single stepper Y drive in and creates 4 (flexible) drives out have any gearing in it?...
Oh yes, very sweet :)
