If you set Vcarve to "set zero" on the machine bed (material Z), then you have to probe to the machine bed as well. After you probe the bed, the Z...
Yes, you definitely need the extra gantry - that set up looks decidedly dodgy and you're only drilling!
That would be simple enough to do in Sketchup. Just draw the model and save it as a sketchup file (to import into V carve) then also save it as...
...belts not tensioned correctly?
Yes, its simple enough. In the V-carve job set-up page, make sure you have set "Z zero position" to "Machine bed". Then, as above (Alex), jog...
Most people use 3D printed parts to make 3D printers as I did many years ago. Have you checked youtube to see what's about? I used my CNC to...
I suspect that you did not do what Peter suggested regarding homing. If not, go into the grbl settings, disable homing and soft limits then just...
Clever and useful !
How about posting a video of the machine moving along the Y axis then the X axis (no cutting)?
some guys have bored out the holes in the "fixed" wheels side of the plate (NOT eccentric side) say to 6mm or so to allow the fixed wheels to be...
Hi Bran, yes, that's happened with other builders. However, the first thing to do is to measure the OD of the wheels - I suspect there will not...
Yeah that's pretty sloppy. What is this clip you speak of and is the machine an openbuilds or Ooznest purchase?
All my couplings are "clamp" type - rather than the" grub screw onto the motor shaft " type. Mine have never come loose on my CNC or on any of my...
Both have their usefulness. I use machine bed quite often simply because material is very often not an exact thickness.Setting off the machine bed...
I have a Workbee style 1010 and get excellent results isolation routing and drilling pcb's. For best results, I clamp a small sacrificial piece of...
Yes, definitely invest in a long ruler. For the Lead, a 2'6" long ruler would do the job.
You've lost an angle grinder to gain a drill?
You're using ball nosed bits to cut that aluminium sheet?
I would echo those comments. Peter is also correct. If brrian's wasteboard is not flat and level (as witnessed by the uneven cut) then he will...
I think they've been around for a while but you'll need to do a search.
