FYI: I took a closer look at that and the only thing you’ll need to change is the stepper motor coupler. It comes with a cheap rigid coupler, but...
Nice, that should work well. That should work perfectly with the “new” mounts a designed for mine.
I’m using an anti backlash block on both the X and Y axis. My Z axis doesn’t need one as I’m using a ball screw system for that axis. for the...
That all looks pretty good, except I think you are short 2 MGN15H Blocks, the X axis needs 2 and the Y axis needs 4. the only item I don’t...
Cool! Welcome to the CNC club, it’s a fun hobby! I’d be 99% sure that they can’t support 2 amps. I had to buy high end LDO Nema 17’s (same ones I...
The 1mm height change worked perfectly! I did a quick test fit of both axes and have now properly installed the Y axis with bearings and lock...
Hmmm, that's a good point - my garage gets quite dusty so I think I might cancel that order and stick to switches. On a positive note, my longer...
I found some time to work on my CNC machine today. I’m still waiting on 60mm bolts to install the steppers, but in the mean time, I’ve changed the...
Is it possible to get Control to remember the last USB port used? I’m getting a bit tired of opening the pick list each time I power my machine...
Mainly I’m not quite at the stage where I can justify the costs of upgrading to Nema 23 motors + appropriate drivers. My existing Nema 17’s are...
After getting some advice on anti-backlash nuts/blocks, I printed out some mounting blocks, I designed, for the AB Blocks to replace the spring...
Install went smoothly, although I am yet to reinstall my lead screws and stepper motors as Im waiting on some longer stepper motor mounting bolts...
Cheers, I will.
Cheers, I suspected that was the case and have just spent the last few mins designing some mounting blocks to replace the spring types that came...
Hi All, Im in the middle of yet another upgrade to my CNC Router, and I was wondering what are the best type of Anti-Backlash nuts or blocks for...
My new lead screws and nuts arrived today - the ones that came in the cheap Chinese kits I started out with are definitely different. I don't know...
My ASA prints came out great - ignore the surface “zits”, I intentionally used random seams to avoid any concentricity issues. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Testing looks good. I only needed to make a minor change to the holes for the M3 bolts as they were too snug. But everything else fit perfectly....
I finished the first prototype Nema 17 Mount design today, and I'm just in the process of printing one out for testing. The design integrates an...
I realised I have some old 2mm pitch lead screws in my spares box (from my 3D printer experiments), and comparing those to the ones on my CNC does...
