Hi Donald, the best way to rule it out would be to download something like UGS Platform (any of the free grbl g-code senders) and run the G-code...
The 1/2 diameter is a rough guideline for starting out. And it's not a HP constraint. You will get chatter from flex on a hobby machine before...
Hi Arthur, maybe, depends on what you have now? Struggling with power? Your depth of cut and feed rate is more constrained by machine rigidity,...
Should be fine, the continuous average current is lower than the max, and 0.3+0.3 would be 0.6A which is still less than 1.0. 0.3a steppers? these...
Hi Adam, there was a very similar post a couple weeks ago and he found it was the dust shoe bristles lifting the z axis at each direction change....
Hi Jim, You can make the drawing any way you wish using just about any program, while not connected to the machine. You use the Openbuilds CAM...
I recommend setting up the dust shoe brushes so they don't move up and down with the z axis. Gary
Good! I was looking at that pic and was thinking, I bet that dust shoe is getting smashed down too much!
Hi Fabien, did you setup your 0-10v output? As per the Docs? Cheers Gary
The wheels should be snug but still able to spin them with your thumb. The nut block should be easy to spin but no slop. Cheers Gary
Hi Kendall, Almost looks like your Z coupler isn't tight and you are not getting a reliable z position. Another thing it could be is backlash...
Oh yes, the poly used in that kind of cutting board is much gummier than real HDPE, I have cut both and HDPE cuts like a dream where as walmart...
HDPE is the way to go imo, super stable not crazy expensive. HDPE is very slick, will need to really clamp material, more than with mdf. quick...
I don't know why I said Ender 2.. I have a 3 with Swiss direct drive, cr touch.. anyway super quiet, I printed fan shrouds for the psu and...
I've never found feed and speed charts useful for hobby type machines, just not stiff enough. I tend to adjust RPM to reduce /stop chatter....
My Ender 2 with creality silent stepper board is very quiet. Cooling fans are louder than the motors by far.
PLA is relatively safe to print with as far as air quality, get a room size air purifier if you are concerned. Some PLA's (like PLA+) have...
Looks nice and skookum!
Could be a wheel that is too tight or bearing failed? Dry PTFE lube your acme screws? On the bigger motors 75% on the current dial is about...
Have you tried a small downcut 2 flute? I use 1mm and 0.8mm downcut 2 flute endmills on balsa cuts super clean. I could try some cardboard. Gary
