Hot glue works well :thumbsup: I connected the switches. Indeed no false triggers when the steppers run. However... I get often a spurious...
Thanks for helping me looking into this. I believe there is something you are overlooking. The G code is such that the distance between the...
There are 2 direction changes: 1. from left to right 2. from right to left, backlash is visible 3. again from right to left, perfect alignment...
It all looks very nice :duh:
This will probably work, provided the fans are identical (brand/type). 24V fans are also very common. Frederic
The G-code instructs to miss align all the top-lines with the bottom lines. The misalignment is supposed to increase with 0.05 mm with each line....
I compiled a few G-code scripts that help measuring the backlash more easily. With each line, lines are shifted by an additional 50...
It is a fully standard OX build. Frederic
I wonder why the micro-stepping has an influence on the backlash. When the steps are increased, I suppose that the accuracy is decreased (I mean...
I did the same exercise. I took pictures that I magnified and printed. My backlash on the X axis seems to be 0.333 mm and 0.188 on the Y axis....
How do you measure it? Frederic
Hi Jonathan, Have you considered Chris? I believe it is 150 dallar with shipment in the US + a bit more for Europe, perhaps 200. You will not pay...
It's a chicken or egg problem, is it not... what was first, a CNC machine or gantry plates? :banghead:
For the Z-axis, I glued my switches to the gantry plates. I used CA glue but the bond seems very brittle, I will need to try something else......
Hi BC, I have read that lots of noise can be picked up by the wires between switches and controller causing spurious alarms....
They do look good, don't they! :p Thanks again for making them for me and the excellent "customer service". Next time I will post pictures with...
Thanks :) At first I used a pencil fixed to the Z beam. It was a pain to find the best position for correct pressure on the pencil [ATTACH] Now...
My OX is saying Hello ... :cool: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Collecting parts to build an OX CNC machine
Hi Mike, Have a look at the parts-list in http://www.openbuilds.com/builds/openbuilds-ox-cnc-machine.341/ It lists everything you need with...
