yes, I should do it over in estlcam, as sketchucam made the path all over the place, but it worked.. Two files one is the holes the other is the...
That's a great deal on the steel parts, I would have though $1500!
Sure, the file is made for a 1/8" 2 flute bit on cast 9mm acrylic. Here is the sketchucam file and the .nc file which you could use to cut it if...
Don’t forget steppersonline as well, they are all made in China, just be sure you know what you are getting, check the spec sheet... If the...
This comes up every month, While I agree spindles are quiet, the noise produced cutting is much louder, so it doesn't make as much of a difference...
Lower is better for speed but you are limited with driver current, so as the Henry's get lower the current demand for a given torque will be...
There are plenty of low inductance motors to try, yes the openbuilds ones are good.. some of the 8 wire steppers where you can run the coils in...
If you know the exact motors you have that is important info, high inductance motors (higher than "normal" rated torque) will have poor high speed...
very detailed video as always from New Brit, if you want your mind blown watch this video [MEDIA]
Cool build! please upload bigger pics!
Hi Kim, you mean 8000 (1/40th microstep)? And your the screw is 5mm per turn lead? that is very high resolution. Actually too high in most...
I recommend getting a genuine arduino uno, and a screw shield like this one to make landing all the wires easy. Genuine Uno's seem to handle the...
gearbox will introduce backlash, and really slow things down! you said you have a 5mm lead screw? what microstep are you running? hard to tell...
Hi Charlie, You really don't want to use an XPro with DQ542MA's unless you already had the Xpro.. The current will not be used from the xpro so...
If you want to do a belt driven OX, then the Chrisclub OX HD plates is what you want.. for 2080 x y rails and c-beam z. on ebay or you can email him
If you have the length and it looks like you might, setup the screw collars so they put the screw in tension instead of compression, it does help....
If you want feedback you can get servos, it's easy just a bit more money.. Clearpath servos are one example. But like Peter said, good strong...
I'm not sure it's the reason but you could test that by soldering the usb directly to the back of the board, it's only 4 wires [ATTACH]
You said you confirmed the voltage, was that with everything plugged in? many ATX PSU's need a substantial load on the 5V rail to fully power up...
Powge on ebay has a great selection of belts and pulleys
