"No mill is the same, especially a hobby one. If someone was to take my file and simply mill it, I can be 100% sure it's not going to be the same...
"The other advantage to double belting which hasn't been mentioned is that your anchor can be much simpler - the 'rack' timing belt takes all the...
Try the double timing belt setup to solve the belt stretching problem.:)
Yep, if I only would have known before…….:) But this topic should be spun out to give people the info they need to avoid the mistakes. Electronics...
Looking into this matter, I'm more and more convinced that most of my present problems with the Buffalo are traceable to the grounding issue....
I just bought some shielded speaker/audio cable that has that braided shielding. Planning on using that for all the wiring. Also bought some...
To illustrate the effect of grounding or not I thought about posting this short video [MEDIA] Hope it helps to clarify the issue of grounding.:)
Do you have the micro stepping set right for the 26.67 steps/mm? Should be 1/8. It sounds like that. The Z doesn't do it, because you are closer...
Lucky Man! You can also have 3V and 5V of the first one in the line. Good thing is, that if for any reason you want to have 36V or even 48V, it...
DddMan, followed the instructions of that link (especially the ones mentioned in the comments) and hooked up 2 ATX PSU 12V to make 24V. Left some...
Robert, do you mean ground as in earthing (like in AC systems)? Or connecting the DC - to the mill?
Reading around here, the nema 17 for the Z doesn't seem to be strong enough, which could explain your Z coming down? Maybe in combination with the...
My procedure of working is; 1. Set the XY offset 2. Set the Z offset 3. Load the gcode 4. Put the router on and set to desired speed 5. Have a...
While busy milling in my head for a better power solution, I took the gantry apart and inserted the bunch of v-slot connectors I printed last...
If I only could put my Buffalo in the battery/power room, I would have 48V available in large amounts (10.4Kw Pv system off grid). :) But I guess...
Yeah, I looked at something similar on the web. The instructions were full of warnings about getting electrocuted etc. so my first reaction was...
Well, quest for power supply was a dead end running into the backwards mentality over here. They still live in a suppliers world, not aware that...
Dry run with feed rate 4500 and router spindle on: no problems. Possibly not the limit switches, because operation near them was not effected....
An other idea just popped up! Maybe it has to do with the limit switches on the X axis. Both problems occurred when milling at the outside limits...
Nice! Maybe mill a borehole drill to ensure future water supply? Just saw an article about the vanishing groundwater supply in CA. Not a pretty...
