Then just change the extension to .gcode and see if it runs? Nothing magical about a g-code file, just a text file with an alternate extension,...
Yeah. I'm guessing either... 1) Grab the collet nut and give the spindle a good wiggle. Feel for what's loose somewhere. 2) You're taking way...
Ha! Didn't even see that, that's funny. Definitely the way to do it though. Ohh, yeah, P0 is "active WCS", which isn't very helpful in a situation...
What's in the "NC Extension" box above the post options? Assuming it's .gcode or .ngc, .txt is almost certainly an error message- I think Fusion...
Use two different WCS? G54 for laser, G55 for pen. So you have a G10 L20 P0 for laser and P1 for pen. You'd only need to zero one of them, G-code...
If you're running 440V, you have to get the HV transformer, Haases run on 220V. TM-1 will happily run on a 40 or 50A 240V 1PH stove line (though I...
Similar to that Diresta skeleton knife, and (perhaps moreso) the short-lived Grimsmo Tor? Though 10x3 suggests more of a chopper or even small...
My G0758 (Grizzly G0758 Benchtop Mill Conversion) has about a 5x13" travel. Any medium-size benchtop mill will get you there for those dimensions....
Yeah, just test it. Put an appropriate tool in the router (even just a drill bit, for testing purposes) and see how far up the Z axis will travel...
I'd get a used VMC over a new Tormach any day of the week, not even a question. Having now converted a mill, I just don't see their value...
Speak for yourself, I want a Speedio. ;) (Though I guess I'd settle for a VF2SS) My G0758 can mill steel, I just got through four steel end...
This. I used HOMING_FORCE_SET_ORIGIN on my laser to use positive coordinate space (and apparently homing at pulloff, not switch activation, which...
Yep, another regular BoM listener here, of course. It's my sports- lots of yelling at the headphones/speakers. "That's already a THING, it's...
Igus make great shielded continuous flex machine cable in a variety of gauges and conductors. ChainFlex control cable, I think they call it. Not...
The "STB5100" is the controller. Well, kinda. Here: - The software on the PC is the controller, reading the G-code, converting it to motion...
You solved your own problems! It's likely EMI, get all mains wires away from signal wires, shorter USB, etc etc. Cable organization isn't just for...
Looks like it's a front for selling you a $50 software license for a CNC control software that's probably pretty terrible. If it comes on the CD...
You're correct. Nothing inherently to do with the BlackBox, it's running standard 8-bit grbl which cannot do more than three axes, it's at the...
That looks like exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for. Thanks! Ye olde hacker turn of phrase, mostly used ironically now. Just means...
Dropbox folder. Still have to USB sneakernet over to the Linux controller(s) until I figure out a cross-platform local shared drive system, but...
