Hi Dax, Is there a reason you need 64x microstepping? typically 8x or 16x is plenty. Gary
Thanks Peter, I'll try that
[ATTACH] This build will evolve as I go.. Having a go at building a pull tester like the one on CNC Kitchen "OpenPull" project. Watch Stefan...
I'm having a heck of a time getting the openpull arduino project to compile and load.. any help would be great. I get a ton of errors which i...
Gary Caruso published a new build: This project is a Pull tester for material testing or structural testing with stress (force) data logging, I...
yes very common, surface your spoil board if you haven't already and surface the workpiece. Can surface the back to keep a smoother side if you...
Been using Nanocad (5 Free) for a while now, it's free and exactly like basic 2D Autocad. And it opens DWG just fine. nanoCAD Free is easy-to-use...
I agree with Rick, if you already have those drivers get an Arduino Uno and flash GRBL on to it, or Estlcam and learn to wire it up, getting a...
Looks like that motor bracket isn't stiff enough and there is a bit of offset to the motor shaft to screw. fix that and you wont break anymore....
I like my Ox HD no plans on changing it, dual belts was the key for me, much better than stretchy unsupported belts. The HD has 80x40 gantry and...
Really Nice! can't wait to see the rest! Gary
Mark the spots with a V bit and drill on drill press.. Or you could use 2 flute endmills with 1/8 or 1/4" shank, HDPE cuts like a dream so plunge...
Make sure you have the latest version, updates are frequent. Upload your file here so we can look at the crazy parts. Cheers Gary
Higher voltage will get you more speed, current is torque (basically). Can't slow down your spindle? I've cut plenty of cast acrylic with no...
Just one option, epoxy would be more forgiving as you can use slower cure time to get the position just right. Cheers Gary
My machine has two 2080 sections bonded together for the x-beam just rubber toughened CA glue, has held up for 2 years and going, z crashes and...
Hi Donald, typical low voltage dc spindles are not Brushless and they would require a separate PSU as they are about 500watts. If you really mean...
Jerry, you got it, I would recommend using the screw thrust bearing approach to use tension on the screws (if you are not already) to reduce screw...
Hi Salamander, Yes you will be good, you can adjust the current output on the BB. For the HT motors I would start with about 3/4 toward full power...
As long as the wire paired together properly per coil it wont hurt anything to mix them around, just changes direction as you said. You should...
