Here's the Z axis[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Michael.M published a new build: Let me explain: About a year ago I was planning to build a CNC router of my own design. I started gathering...
Oh I want to let everyone know that those wheel covers I made for the y axis are working out great. I don't get much of anything under them and...
Probably the most reliable way of using the microswitch is to do away with the arm and have a pin that contacts the button under the arm directly
Your typical mechanical microswitch is actually very repeatable, I just have a bad habit of bumping them while the machine is running or catching...
For instance, you loose power to your steppers for whatever reason and the controller would not be aware of this.
Most of these machines your thinking of utilize rotary encoders and closed loop steppers or servos. These hobby machines operate in relation to...
Interesting concept. I think the gantry plate that carries your glass horizontally under the dispensers should have some way of holding onto the...
Yeah when I was in the planning stage, I was trying to be mindful of my X axis length (width?). I have seen some very wide Sphinx builds and even...
This is not just for limits. This is also for homing of the machine which must me done consistently, every day. The micro switch arms fail over...
I will add links in my parts list for the sensors and breakout board.
They have an LED status light to let you know when the switch has been triggered (by a strong magnet). I just need to figure out the perfect...
Oh these are hall effect limit switches. They can be sealed up and basically become a worry free, non mechanical end stop.
It does appear to have some interesting features though. I'm tying up some loose ends right now. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The only reason I say this is because both boards will essentially do the same thing but im not sure of the driver orientation. I see one version...
Well considering that you still have a fair amount of building left to do before you actually need the controller, I'd just wait. The Phoenix is a...
[ATTACH] I didn't have any problems using the recommended hardware from the original build guide that I can remember. It's been a while but I know...
If you look closely, the eccentric spacers have a small "6mm" label you can use for orientation
I would double check your eccentric spacers. I know you said you opened them up but this is the only thing I can think of
