These stepper motor look huge!! Are you also going to use the machine for cutting aluminum and/or wood?
If your work piece will be 38" the screw needs to be longer than 40", I think. You have to mount the screw, connect the stepper and allow for the...
If you would like to get some help you'll have to ask specific questions. Just to say you need help doesn't tell us in what area you need it.
It's a good practice to have two limit switches on each axis, one on each end, but many builder leave one out and keep only one, for the homing. I...
LOL...I don't know about other people but it gave me motion sickness. :ROFL: Oh...and you better not have epilepsy that is triggered by flashing...
There is a .rb file that lets you import and export dxf files. Google 'export dxf from Sketchup'.
The only question I have is...with four kids, how do you find time to do all this? :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:
Use a multi meter to check continuity. If you have the correct pair the meter should show a short.
I had built two clones of this printer out of 3/4" plywood. Works a treat! :)
Just as a thought, since you didn't mentioned that you did it, did you check that you have the stepper wires paired correctly?
I think the aluminum wheels are not used more often is that they make way more noise when running on metal.
You can get even bigger bits than the 7/8" if you want. Search 'Cleaning Bottom Router Bit' on eBay.
1/8" is about 3.17mm. I think it's close enough to 3.3mm for your tap to cut the thread in the aluminum so drilling will be the best solution....
No, not really. Unless, that is, you call Aliexpress a "brand". :ROFL::ROFL:
I haven't looked into it in a loooong time but I remember that there were issues with the TB6560 and that the successor to it is the TB6600. Look...
Sounds like your motors don't get enough amps. I don't know if there is a setting in the driver that you can change to increase the amperage. If...
Ideally, when you hit the e-stop (emergency stop) everything should stop. The spindel should stop and the program should stop executing but not...
There is a problem with the USB controller on some, mostly older I think, laptops. I had a similar problem with my 3d printer when I used my...
Like Gray said, nice table, Joe! I would have gone with a 269oz stepper (heck...I did go with the 269oz stepper :D). I know, they are $8 more per...
Jerwan, why do you need two steppers for the z axis if it's going up and down only on one side what with it being cantilevered?
