Hi @Colin Mccourt, watch this space - I am working on a solution. Alex. ;)
Hi @Colin Mccourt, I have a bit of the draught extruder you mentioned from experiments with dust shoes - it doesn't fit between the C beam and the...
If it fits in without obstructing the Y gantry it should work - check price at Screwfix - same company as B&Q but sometimes cheaper. Alex.
Thanks - I need some for exactly the same purpose. Alex.:)
That's another alloy I have seen mentioned as machinable - so probably no problems there. Where did you get it from? Alex.
I'll let someone with more experience comment on the speeds and feeds @Colin Hart, but do you know what your aluminium is? Most people on here...
Try something simple (eg square), set your workpiece Z zero co-ordinate well clear of your workpiece or spoiler board and machine some thin air....
I assume that your workpiece was held firmly? Are both sides of the Y axis moving the same amount? If only one side is moving check that the...
Like @Gary Caruso I will be tramming my router one day, and, like him I will use a dial gauge on the end of the gadget. As a railway modeller I...
I personally can't help you with the electronics you are using but the first question people here are going to ask is what control software you...
I haven't bothered tramming my router yet - like yours the discrepancy I have at the moment is minute - until I can work out a way of modifying...
Your Z axis or your spindle may not be perfectly vertical. If so the discrepancy is very small. To overcome this leave a small amount of stock on...
Has anyone found the need to earth their dust extraction? I was wondering if an aluminium version of the cyclone gadget would create a means of...
Have a look in resources - if you have access to a 3d printer there are some there. You could also search on Thingiverse.com. Alex.
Let me know how you get on with it if you go with that cyclone gadget @Colin Mccourt. It looks very useful if it works as well as they claim. Alex.
ABSOLUTELY NOT @G-Wizard! Keep power cables away from stepper motor and limit switch wiring or you may find your machine behaving in rather odd...
I told my wife I was buying my printer for my model railway club - which was not, strictly speaking, untrue. Alex :p
I think I paid £120 for my Geeetech kit @GeoffH, I would have expected Ultimaker to be a case of switch on and print with no hassle. So far I have...
Only from a kit @GeoffH, its from Geeetech and has some problems because the acrylic frame parts are not cut with square edges - so it can't be...
I didn't agree with the spacing in the manual anyway - I'm using mdf for my spoiler board and it will sag if unsupported. I had some mdf 610 mm...
