I have Nema 24 steppers (24HS34-3504D). They call for M4.5 socket head screws which are difficult to find. I tried an M5 and it is really snug....
Yes all the block have wipers. So I'm concerned simply lubing the rail would not get enough oil into the blocks. This being my first build I...
First build so I'm leaning things the hard way. I purchased some inexpensive Chinese SBR-16 round rail and pillow blocks. Unfortunately there...
Loctite on just the screw correct?
My ball screw kit came with 6.5x10mm motor coupling and I need 8x10mm. So I could drill out the ones I have. But I question how good these are...
Project Hopeless published a new build: This is my first build attempt, a large form (4x4ft.) 3 axis 4-motor CNC router table, . The build...
Scott, I have a build in the planning stages that looks very much like yours. I understand on the gantry the vertical board handles any Z...
Scott, On your gantry/beam the linear bearings, are they threaded directly into the aluminum extrusion? What extrusion profile are you suing to...
I see your point. My first though was through bolts, flat washers , and possibly hardwood backer blocks. I did come across hybrid material...
Is there a drain wire with that shielding? Do you just run a separate ground wire, or none at all?
Yes but what strand count would be considered continuous flex cable vs plain old stranded wire. Or does it matter?
This build is intended for cutting wood and plastics. If I can mill aluminum great, its not a must. I think wood is going to be an easier build...
As a first build I'm looking at using plywood and SBR linear bearings. A typical gantry might look like so... [ATTACH] I'm curious, is there...
What type of wire is recommended for the moving parts on a CNC router? The wiring that runs through the drag chains. At work I have used...
I think I found the answer to my own question. I found this article. Seems to sum it....
So I'm looking at a 4 axis kit with hybrid stepper motors (8 wire). I haven't come across many of these in my searches, most kits were bipolar 4...
I found some drawings for another make, I think I'm good. The math says 1500mm should get me ~1338mm of travel with 2x lead reserve both ends....
Wow, very nice. That level of build detail is very helpful for a beginner like me. It helps a lot to visually see how it all goes together. I...
The ball screws I’m looking a claim to be anti backlash. RM1605, C7 standard. My first build is a CNC router for wood and plastics so I can...
What types of controller boards does OpenBuild control software work with? If a board works with Mach3/4 will it work with OpenBuild control...
