That speed should be fine, what is your acceleration?
Hi Tyler, I'm thinking you need to increase your current and/or make sure you are not too aggressive on your speeds and accelerations. You are...
Hi Tyler, looks like classic flex coupler issue with setscrews not being secure or not on the flats and it's slipping (use loctite). could be some...
Hi Gregers, it's a bummer you are having so much trouble, maybe I can help with a couple (3) items. 1) reliability is something you need to work...
Hi Slade, Please post your $$ settings, probably something different between Y and X and Z, too fast acceleration or max speed can cause the...
yes, like this... try this before doing anything drastic. Gary [ATTACH]
I'll have to check that out, Arduino IDE is bloated (more features than i need) and confusing IMO. Gary
12v low power wall warts are cheap, so are 24v pc fans (ventilators) :) Cheers
To counter the backlash keep the system loaded with a spring or rubber bands, just strong enough to keep the gear teeth all contacting on one...
My setup is in my basement, I have a small home of 1500sq' when running long cuts I'll go upstairs and listen for the vac system to shut off then...
Could always use a 40A SSR like I always do and wire yourself, if comfortable with that. In rush, on a router With variable speed is not much as...
Hi Rob, Yes this spindle requires a VFD, and is probably too heavy for a Workbee Simplest solution would be a small router like the Makita RT0701...
The inductance of the cnc parts motor is 3mH vs 4 for the openbuilds.. this will get you higher possible rpm as well.. at the cost of higher amps...
What router are you using? is it a mini router or DC motor or VFD spindle type? How are you controlling and powering the motor? Gary
With the Makita router it's very easy to replace the included cable with shielded 2 conductor, then you can keep it in the drag chains, only needs...
Yes thermal is probably the issue, now that we know the drivers used. Could tell from the nice fuzz free edge that it's a down-cut, which is great...
Hi Slade, Loosing steps? Did you check all your wiring? Maybe motor connection, is it always in Y? What drivers are you using? are you cooling...
Hi Alex, With a stepper powered off maybe you would need a catch but a low RPM geared brushed motor would have a bunch of drag, and the screw will...
I agree with above, Turn your current up, and make sure if using GRBL the $1=255 and use 1/8th step or 1/4 if possible. I see from other posts...
Check the wires for sure as Peter said, if still not moving smoothly set your switches for 1600 micro steps (1/8 microstep) and a current setting...
