Thank you for your reply! I'll give it a try! Hopefully I won't fry anything.
Hi Welcome to the CNC world. First of all, congratulations for having an awesome wife! (But she might come to regret it once you get hooked. :-)...
Hi I've finally gotten around to working on my control box. I didn't think everything through up front so it is a bit tight. So, how tight would...
These are the settings I've been using. Running DRV8825 drivers and 1/16 micro stepping it seems. I've only missed steps once when the cooling...
With 8mm leadscrew and 8 micro stepping you would get a accuracy of about 0.005. That’s in theory. But <0.1 mm is very much achievable with a Sphinx.
I've been running my 1x1 Sphinx for a while now. One annoyance that I've found is that the lock collars have a tendency to become loose and are...
I got 1000mm for X & Y. Then I shaved a few mm off to square them up. So in the end Y is probably about 997mm or so. For Z I used 250mm and the...
Perhaps extending bCNC with a touch specific “tab” or UI would be a way to go. It seems feature rich but I wouldn’t want to navigate on a small...
Hi The DRV8825s are surprisingly capable as long as they’re adequately cooled. Still running my CNC with them. What software are you using on...
So far I have manually moved the tool close to the surface (1mm away or so) and then simply used the probe procedure in the software I use (bCNC)....
I wanted a simple probe set Z height for the CNC. The design goal was to make the simplest probe possible. One key requirement was to have some...
I know first hand that the CNC bug is hard to shake! If you don't mind me asking, why do you have such a tall Z-axis? It seems like you cut-depth...
Long time no update. Been working on smaller things and designing parts for the machine. The other day the fan I was using to cool the drivers...
Lots of bits and pieces. I’ve been working on a dust boot with heavy inspiration from Suckit (Suckit Dust Boot) and other derived works found on...
Hi After running for a while I there seem to be slack creeping in to my CNC. I have had to readjust the eccentric spacers a number of times to...
Finished my 320 holes and hammered in 80 t-nuts (with a dab of hot-glue, not sure if it will help but it couldn't hurt). Also cut some threaded...
Started working on the wasteboard. Routed out some countersink for M5 heads on the top. Then flipped it around and routed out holes for 80...
@Gary Caruso That does indeed sound like an easy solution. The cable needed to be extended anyway... Edit: Is 18 enough? Online calculators seem...
You might want to add some additional supports along the bottom and not only rely on the wasteboard for support. You'll need to adjust your angle...
Hi I’m running a Makita router with my CNC. Will it be problematic to run the power cable alongside signal cables? The stepper cables are...
