Big thumbs up Atomist! This was a hard learned bit of information for me. I cooked two sets of 8825's before I found ONE line about the things...
And if you are buying 8825's, don't forget they plug into the shield with the adjustment screw facing the opposite direction of the 4988's (?). If...
Or if you have a old dead PC sitting around (workstation sized works really good), shell it out and use that. Recycle, reuse, etc. the only real...
Absolutely Mark, anything to keep the smoke inside is a good thing. When you were testing this and cutting aluminum was there any problem with...
Hi Joe, Certainly they can and should be moved. I'll absolutely do that to the one I build. My question is being posed for a couple reasons; first...
Congrats to Tyler for the fast build! And the steppers should handle the water cooled spindle. When I built my first Shapeoko, it was 800x1000mm...
I really like several things about your platemaker and congrats on it's build. The ONLY thing I question about it AND the open builds kit is...
Modern industry is like that. They throw away millions of dollars of prime hardware while threatening to fire you if you take 3 minutes extra for...
What a great idea! A laser for the desktop, for those hobby or small work jobs that don't need 100 Terawatts of intergalactic zombie killing laser...
Hi Kev, I want to bring up some information about selecting stepper motors. You might find it useful, but since you already have your motors, you...
Hi Kev, looking at your pics, I'm guessing you are using 5 start acme screws, which are normally a good thing, but if your motors are designed for...
Hi Paul and all, YES! It's up and running. I cut a sign mock-up I threw together. It zips around pretty good for a belt drive machine. Much better...
The frustrating thing is that our standard VOM's won't read RMS. So you are left with using a scope to "see" the power going to the motor, at the...
It's exactly the same thing. 120v @ 1 amp = 120watts and 12v @ 1amp = 12 watts. In working with AC in LC circuits you deal with hysteresis losses...
No. Watts is amps times volts. AC, DC or pink monkey gas - you don't get free energy and you can't use more than you start with. No 115% unless...
The norm here is in the US is 115v @ 15amps, but with the correct hardware you can run 115v @ 20 amp. wall service. It requires 12ga. wire,...
I had another fruitful day in the shop and finished the frame build of my Ox. And what tall tail would be complete without a picture. Here it is,...
Sorry to hear that Paul. I'm successfully running...
I'm building a new Ox. I've not posted the build yet but will soon. This is going to be a test bed that I can try different pieces of hardware on...
The double shaft is handy on the z axis. Inventables sells a crank handle for the rear shaft. When the system is powered down you can crank the...
