One of the issues with approaches like this is the lack of surety in the preload applied. Too much load will brinell the bearings. Also, the...
I found a clicking like this was caused by radial clearance between the acme screw and the bearing. The rod tends to "slap" the bearing bore....
At the risk of sounding mean, the small separation of the wheels when they mate on the inside of rails is just an awful approach. This will lead...
Yes. I also thought it odd that the currently loaded nc file name wasn’t prominently and permanently displayed so it can be checked at a glance.
A Stop Job on this system appears to be an infinite deceleration event from a control perspective. No machine can physically achieve such a high...
Some pictures showing how I grounded the hose and cyclone dust collector below. Pardon the mess. :) Everything is connected to a common...
My machine is in the basement. I used bare stranded copper wire and self adhesive copper tape purchased from Amazon to ground the cyclone and hose...
I certainly had issues with that, Brandon. In fact, I disconnected the hose from the dust shoe and vacuumed some MDF dust and could feel the...
The Blackbox is very easy to use and inexpensive for what it does. I started out putting an RPi together with the Protoneer HAT using a kit and...
FWIW. Small machines hold themselves square on startup through mechanical rigidity so a single home switch is sufficient. Holding square becomes...
Thanks for you reply! Sorry to be such a pain. During the install, a Terminal message tells me that bCNC is in...
David. It sounds like you might be able to help me! I'm trying to set up bCNC for use with the BlackBox. The real problem is my ignorance with...

Thanks for the head's up. I see the skull and crossbones on the original chart but I don't see a description of the health hazard. I can find...
Thanks for preparing this, Alex! As a new CNC router owner I need all the help I can get! I was looking at this spreadsheet and I thought I...
Thanks for reminding me about those black oxide screws in aluminum, Alex. I have had problems with that combination freezing in the past. I...
;)
Thanks for preparing these instructions, Shawn! The Preference setting to Enable Cloud Libraries was not enabled by default on my copy of Fusion...
FWIW, I wouldn't assume things are square by observing the cross (X) axis relative to the frame. Either or both could be out of square. I would...
Thanks for the explanation, Peter! I understand your desire to keep things simple to reduce support requirements. Also, it is good to know why...
