Actually, normal installation is two on Y, one on X and One on Z. In any event, this is three-Axis control and requires four drivers, one for each...
Ronald, I just checked my extrusions. The hole is approximately the diameter of a #21 drill bit. The recommended bit for a 5mm tap is a #19....
I've tapped around 80 holes, maybe more in V-Slot rail and haven't had a problem. I'm still using the original tap that came from Sears & Roebuck...
Measure the width of the cut. If it is off, you can adjust the actual bit width. It could be off because the bit is wider than advertised and/or...
I've never been able to get soft limits to work on my machine, so I turned it off ($20=0). I have home pull-off set to 5mm ($27=5.000). I was...
I have used 1/4" and 1/8" milling machine cutters. Whatever you use, make sure they are end cutters. Otherwise, you won't be able to plunge into...
You are correct, a lot of it is clunky. Most of the packages don't integrate well, either. If 3DCut works for you, that's not a bad deal to get...

Put marks on the shafts and pulleys with a sharpie or similar. That will let you know if anything is moving.
I don't cut a lot of aluminum, but I've had good luck with these on wood and aluminum:...
I haven't done any Arduino programming in six months or so, but I believe there is a setting to enable a pull-up resistor on each pin. I can't...
I don't think it comes on until some threshold of heat is crossed, like you thought. My machine only uses about 12 amps on a 30 amp power supply...
Good work. I agree with David. Next thing to try would be to change the X and Y driver boards to see if the other one does the same thing. One...
If you have any experience with Arduinos and you want to find out if it is the board, you can hook an LED and a current limiting resistor between...
Do you have another board that you could hook up to see if it does the same thing? Sounds like a bad output.
Very flexible. More so than the other cable I was using. It could be the lack of shielding, I don't know, but it works for what I need. I'm...
In a normal X-Y coordinate system, zero is the bottom left corner. That means both X and Y are positive in the upper right quadrant. In all of the...
I bought a box of this: Fire Security Wire Burglar Alarm 22/4 Cable 1000FT Stranded White Cable 1000' These are the motors I'm using: New...
