The download is an DXF file to use for engraving your spoil board on your Laser engraver or CNC. (I will attach the exported SVG in the...
I discovered a mechanical solution to this problem. My laser has a small push-button switch that keeps it at low power when I connect. After I...
Simplify3D has a very good (pictoral) print quality trouble-shooting guide at Print Quality Troubleshooting Guide | Simplify3D Software RepRap.org...
I'm using Grbl 1.1f on a Gradus M1 Pro. The laser is wired to Spindle PWM on the Gradus, but I couldn't tell you if it is wired to D11...
I just looked again - that first picture indicates that the face shown was facing up when printed. In that case, it could be also an extrusion...
Nice-looking printer (heavy duty)! Regarding your "ghosting": I am guessing that the face you are showing the camera had the ripples parallel...
I've added a 2.3W diode laser (controlled by PWM spindle control) to my mill, and am slowly figuring out how to use it. I've got most of the...
I use a dust shoe with vacuum attachment which keeps things pretty clean. A shoe might be difficult with your application, but a well-placed...
Yeah, I ran into the "limited area" problem with my MiniMill, so I upgraded it with about $200 in parts to give me a expanded X and Y build area....
That's basically the idea, but on the MiniMill (for example), the support post in the rear on the y-axis is closer to the mill head than the front...
Wow! Amazing project! The welding, routing by hand, assembly, and your results so far are fantastic. Can't wait to see it in action and what...
Here's a "theoretical" 6-axis machine designed by Nicholas Seward. In the comments, replying to a question about software, he states "There isn't...
You might take a look at Metalguru's Improved CBM He added some "outrunners" for the y-axis. He also used c-beam for the X-axis supports...
Glad you got it going! I'm not sure how the probe works on the Gradus. It's the controller I use, but I haven't tried a probe. You may have...
GRBL doesn't support M6 (tool change) or G64. The prevailing philosophy is that the GUI (in your case UGS) should implement "work arounds" when...
Here is a post that explains this very well: Confused about homing, machine position, zeroing, etc
The play that exists will cause some "clicking" at times. I took care of this by wrapping the end of the lead screw (where it fits in the...
I really like those too! My spools have a 50mm id hole, so one set of those might fit in the inside hole of the spool.
I can't tell from your photos if the PTFE fittings on the top of the machine are fixed or moving. If they are fixed, I think mounting the spools...
On a 3D printer, the moving motor is usually driving the filament extruder, not the gantry. (The gantry is indeed driven by a stationary motor.)...
