The Z axis is now 200mm. I am working out the travel of the Z Axis some, so it may increase a bit more, but the 200MM is a good starting point.
I am using the Teensy 4.1 grblHAL BoB. grblHAL Breakout Board Unkit for Teensy 4.1. by Brookwood Design on Tindie This is the board.
Thanks for the quick response. I’ll go check that shortly. Cant wait to get the new controller finished!
I have been running on this setup for a while now. But had a strange occurrence today. I shut the machine down completely a few days ago, and...
I have seen builds where the entire X axis moves up and down, with the Z gantry fixed. That would give you possible the best of both? You would...
New BoB arrived. Built out the basics and mounted to the backer board. Testing tomorrow. [ATTACH]
i will document it up. I built the grblHAL for the system already, and set the basic configuration for it already. BoB should be her tomorrow or...
Change in the electronics.. I have been playing with the arduino, and not really happy with the results. I am now changing everything to grblHAL...
Machinist Santa showed up tonight at my house. The first of the new end plates arrived, to replace and combine the 2 c-beams and house the...
New control box taking shape. Most of the base electronics are mounted. And I’m working on the GX16 connections. Liking the results so far....
Thanks! Looks like the AND gate will be the way to go. I will add this logic to the board that i have built. At the same time, since I am...
Ok. I’m drawing a blank. I have made the decision to change to optical endstops with the same 3 wire configuration, vcc(+5 CSC), GND, signal. The...
The whole idea of the high Z is to give the additional travel for the Z axis, and it will require very long bit to use the entire travel of the...
Base board for the new controller is shaping up. I have an enclosure coming to mount this is. I’ll mount the GX16 connectors when the box comes....
I’m trying to keep it Openbuilds parts as much as possible, but I’ll play a bit more. That was first idea. As for heat, these steppers don’t even...
Yes. Which is why I went to a 2.2kw spindle. It has an er20, which goes to 13mm. So my 1/2” will work. Sure makes running the spoiler board bit...
Stepper drivers, power supplies, terminal strips, wire, and wire ends all showed up today. I’m playing with an idea to mount the power supplies...
I am using a kit 2.2kw spindle. It is a Chinese spindle, but it works. And yes, it is controlled through GRBL. It’s water cooled with air assist....
I did an upgrade to 16mm ball screws and HGH15 linear rails on a LEAD 1515. I’m very happy with the results.
They have expansion slots. They are PCIe. But there is no way to get a real card in it other then the manufacturers cards. This will take a card...
