Thanks, David. I think I found the answer though. In SketchUp I exploded the circles, after I increased the segment to 72 from 24 and generated...
@David the swarfer, I have problems with arcs on my machine. I use Mach3. I think I had, a few years ago, a similar problem when I had my...
I didn't know that! Tried it and it works like a charm! Thanks for the headsup! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
On my PhlatPrinter III had used 1/4" wood left and right of the material cut to prevent it from moving left or right. Worked a charm.
Rob is very knowledgeable in this field so I feel bad contradicting him. If what you did is zeroing the axes, and it confirms to the 0,0,0 in...
Practically all my jobs I use manual homing since I don't place the material at the bottom left corner of the machine but rather more in the...
What Mark said or you could get it from HomeDepot for less.
I had mentioned it before on this forum, I too, like Giarc, kept the m3 but use socket screws. They don't require any machining, unless they are...
Isn't there a LED on the switch board that indicate the switch was triggered? If it does, I think that's why the 3 wire system, to power the LED.
Those are nice motors! Wouldn't mind myself having two or three of them. I just checked and shipping to Canada would be more than the price of the...
Rob, from my point of view, the attraction of the TCM stepstick drivers is that the steppers run quieter, way quieter, then the other driver. It...
Yes, it's possible. If you search this forum you'll find a few that already built this size of a machine. You could use belts, it will give you...
The simple answer is 'no'. You will not be happy if you will cut the plywood in one pass. Besides the bad finish you may have all what Peter said...
Could you not use one of the options to turn on the spindle, or the pump or whatever, to turn on and off a timer?
Yanai, did you try to increase the speed on the X axis?
Sam, what do you do for the fume extraction since your machine does not looks like it's closed in?
Actually the TMC5160 are rated 4.2A. I'm sure you'll have to have a fan blowing on them but I have it anyway on my 3d printer.
The simple answer is yes. My whole machine is custom built out of plywood and making the interface plate is trivial, therefore. :)
I still use SketchUp and the SketchUcam for all my 2d work. I use Fusion360 for my 3d printer. I find SketchUcam to be easier to use than Fusion360.
The specs say that it will support a MOSFET capable of 20A and these MOSFET are quite big. Probably will never work on a Pololu type driver but...
