I did get a laser on my machine and I like that allot. Still learning but there is allot you can do with them.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hey Chuck, I looked into the screw thread and on the long axis I was hesitant on the length, I read of backlash and a limit of speed. I had dreams...
So apparently I forgot to tighten and loctite one of the set screws on one of the z axis couplings. It came out and loosened up and one side...
Ya I don't have to square it most the time, only if I change a bit when it's turned off and the gantry moves. There is a small amount of movement...
I usually start at 100 ipm and slow it down or speed it up when appropriate. I try not to push it too fast because on my last cnc bad things...
I'm not 100% sure on how to do it, I think a slave motor is more independent than 2 motors spliced to the same output. I didn't look into it any...
I'm no expert here either... So I have 5 outputs xyzab, if i connect one motor to the z output and the other motor to the A output you have to...
The only thing I don't like about the SMC5 controller is that you can not have a slave drive. I wanted to have separate outputs for all my motors...
I found that on Amazon for $35. It comes in different sizes. I'm very happy with it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0813JJ831?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I built the frame upside down on the floor then flipped it over, squared it up and used cabinet grade plywood on top, it seamed flatter and nicer...

I'm sorry Chuck, the 3GT pulleys at the top of the list are the wrong size, I meant to edit those out. You should return those if you can. The...
Hey Chuck, the belt on my gantry is held at each ends with this contraption. It has worked great so far, i was able to get it plenty tight by...
Not a problem Chuck, i should have taken more pictures when I was putting it together. 1. The aluminum angle on the bottom of the gantry is to...
60mm screws and 9mm spacer (6mm+3mm) spacer in between the wheels. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes I agree, the black box is probably the best and easiest choice. I almost bought it but I was trying to buy a 5 axis with 2 slave drives which...
I'm not familiar with raspberry pi except for people talking about using it. The raspberry pi 3B+ doesn't look like a cnc controller. Here is a...
Yes you could use either an arduino or raspberry pi board and your computer is your controller (there are several free programs out there to...
