Perhaps add some cooling and increase current? Motor sound plenty powerful.
Looks awesome. Could you share your feeds and speeds for the aluminum milling?
There is also some flex in the actual plate that the router attaches to. Using two mounts should lessen that effect. But yeah, I've also...
I see. I’m not sure power will be an issue on a hobby grade machine. You other points are valid though. Especially larger collets could open up to...
I've been using a Factory Reconditioned Makita RT0701C. It has a diameter of 65mm and won't fit the standard OpenBuilds mounts. I've been happy...
Hi I had the same problem. Since the lead screw is slightly undersized (7.8mm) compared to the pulley 8mm bore (is that the proper term?) it’s...
There was a lot of smart details in your solution that I might find inspiration from. Thanks for sharing.
How is it attached to the x plate? A small threaded hole? Is it some cam clamp style that locks the height in place? Looks like a neat design.
Hi Another opinion. If you’re going to use F360 to do your modeling then I also suggest using the built in CAM. It is very powerful! Especially...
Hi With the openbuilds 8mm lead screws then I would say that 1000mm is already pushing it. (I’m running it like that but it’s definitely pushing...
I have a 1x1m Sphinx. While I can't give you accurate deflection numbers I can offer some experiences. I'm using a Makita router (about 800w) and...
60C should be within operating range. I think that steppers are ok even at 90-100C.
It's hard to tell whites different compared to the original Sphinx. I looks like a ball screw on Y. Could you elaborate a bit on the differences...
With 2mm / rev you certainly don't want to step down. The typical openbuild screws are 8mm/rev. When picking a spindle you'll want something...
Some renderings of the new design. I bought myself a 3D printer that I'm planning to put to good use. The design is inspired by suckit. The two...
Looks like a good, straigthforward design. Do you find that it works well even without a brush that acts as a physical barrier? Also with that...
The floating dust shoe is very nice. Here is the dust shoe I used to have (before Z-axis upgrade). The design is three parts. The nozzle-mount,...
Hi When it comes to dust shoes there seem to be two major designs: Fixed Z, that stays at a constant Z throughout the cut. Like Suckit...
[ATTACH] Some philosophy about the current build. Sphinx compatible - I want to be able to upgrade one piece at a time. Affordable - Since I'm...
Once you make the investment of learning fusion you will never look back. Having integrated CAD and CAM is a killer combo. The CAM is also very...
