While some aspects of Moag's design like the gantry assembly are workable, the moving build plate is not ideal for oversize sheets.
Start here. This is a cross between the Ox and the C-Beam Machine and provides the best of both worlds. The C-Beam Machine is great for cutting...
Yes, that plate was just a demo plate. The CBeam XL Gantry Plate is a much better choice for the intended purpose. Please note you will need 2...
Jimmy, how much side to side movement do you get when you pull sideways on the spindle? If you're noting weakness there too, you might be better...
I was halfway through creating them when you posted. ;)
This is what Kyo is referring to. The black dots are center marks. [ATTACH] The purple dots shown are snap to points and show up when you hover...
I'm no expert on Sketchup either so I tend to just do it the easy way. Rather than take a whole lotta individual parts and try to fit them all...
The motor seems stout enough so it should work but the mounting holes don't match up with the openbuilds plates so you will need to drill some....
If I was doing it, I'd probably print out a bunch of V-slot Connectors in 1" lengths, mix up a substantial batch of JB Weld, and then start...
Melting?
Barry, it's easier just to go to the files tab on one of Mark Carew's builds and download full models and then manipulate the files from there....
Bob, if you are wanting 1:1 this will change the center-to-center distance about 0.6" which is beyond what the plate will allow. Creating your...
For what you are suggesting, you would probably be better off stacking 2 40x40 sections, bonding them together and then filling the cavities with...
You presume me to be more of an expert than I am. Generally my suggestions are little more than what I would try if I were in need of...
If I had a plate mill I'd be more than willing to give it a go but unfortunately I don't. With the number of Cbeam mills that have been built...
If ABS is acceptable, I would suggest having someone CNC a mold for you and then just pressing them out of the ABS.
Unfortunately horizontal scissors don't work as well in real life as they do in the cartoons. But as there is no avoiding gravity, I suggest...
Bigger pulleys just put more stress on the pulley/shaft interface which is counterproductive to solving the problem. I would suggest moving on to...
I'd have to second evil66's comment. Pancake compressors are far too loud to spend any significant amount of time in close proximity to.
Are you referring to the Allen wrench/hex key? The lead screw just fits into the coupler and it is then tightened down with an Allen wrench.
