Good start Colin,  :duh::duh::duh: you will need to get all around your machine as you build it - something I learnt the hard way! :oops: Alex.
Good start Colin. You now have a lot of very useful zip close bags and almost all the 5mm nylock nuts you need to build your machine. Put it all...
Depends how quick you are at twiddling Allen keys ;). It took me about 8 hours spread over two days, but see my build report about tools. Allen...
Nice build! Mine is the 1010 but, like you I intend to mount the spoiler board at the lower position. If I think I need a bit more rigidity for...
I've used this technique with a hand router and lettering templates - just one point he didn't mention in the video - go over the vinyl after...
If the lettering is painted with emulsion then a masking oil won't work unless you thoroughly seal it first. Alex. Re your PS: if you get wax on...
Hi Colin, what paint did you use for the lettering? Could you post a picture? One possible technique would be to carefully mask the lettering with...
At 4.6 Kg (plus water) that might be a bit heavy for the workbee, even with the X axis of 750. Alex.
£5.49 for a set (0.8 - 3.175) of 10, £6.32 for 10 1.5mm from ebay. These are 1/8" shank bits though, so you would need an adapter collar for your...
Screwfix item No 55203 £7.19. I got mine from Toolstation (they might post to you, but I don't think they have a store in. Northern Ireland) item...
It takes longer, but I found the largest cheap router bit for a 1/4" router was 19mm available from Screwfix. Alex.
If it helps I have put a copy of that table in helpful tools with the conversions to mm/minute done. It's title is "speeds and feeds". Alex.
The only reference on here to auto squaring was a post by Hytech2k who mentioned that Mach3 has that capability - he didn't say how to do it...
I think that image shows how to set up hard limits - one switch at each end of the same axis. For auto squaring I assume you would have two...
I can't help you with autosquare in GRBL, but if two NO switches are wired in parallel one of them is redundant - either switch will complete the...
You might be better off exploring what the duet controller can do for you. Talk to Oozenest about the possibilities. The cost of the duet seems to...
Sent Ryan a message yesterday lunchtime - no reply as yet. Alex.
IMPORTANT See my build report for important notes about the duet controller. You must untick "allow moves without homing" (appears to be set by...
Thanks Metalguru. Soft limits were part of the problem - they were effectively turned off - see below. The "printer" can't physically move outside...
I only have homing limit switches. The front end is duet web control. The manual for that says "by default an axis will not be allowed to move...
