I don't know the exact amount. I purchased the High Z modification for the Lead 1010 then purchased extra extrusions and screws. However, I...
I would buy a smaller chuck than I did. I bought a 100mm chuck, but if I were to do it again, I would purchase a 4 jaw 65mm if one could be...
You will not go wrong by following the instructions here: docs:blackbox:start [OpenBuilds Documentation] That is what I did, and I have never had...
There was some hinting awhile back. I think OpenBuilds is behind all the new "ufo" sightings lately to distract us from their real secrets. The...
I switched from sketch up to Fusion as well. Fusion is way easier and more intuitive in my opinion (and probably the OP's). I would not say I...
You do not have to home between tool changes. You just have to rezero the z axis. Another thing I do for a long cut like a 3d carve is I home,...
I had a similar problem where about 50mm from the far extreme positive end it would stall when going back towards s the o point. In my case the...
Yeah, I feel acceleration is more critical than max speed for me. Vcarve tells me a job will take about 1 hour and 20 minutes. When I actually...
It is probably your acceleration settings for that 6950mm/min speed in a hairpin turn. It is trying to get up that speed in a short distance....
It is probably your acceleration settings in GRBL. For example, I had slower acceleration and my lathe could easily go 4500mm/min. I increased...
I was trying to decide on a controller that can do a rotary axis with Lightburn without having to swap wiring from one axis to another and then...
First you need to figure out what space you loose no matter what you try. 125 mm for the x gantry. 40mm x 2 for the y axis cbeams. At...
I needed a place to store the old (circa 2011) Windows 7 laptop. All unnecessary software was removed. It only functions as the CNC controller....
Do you need a precision lead screw? Metric sized shaft couplers up to 12mm are easy to come by and a cheap 12mm threaded rod and nut are easy to...
Were they 1605s? Those only move 5mm per rotation. That is almost half what the lead screws from OpenBuilds will move your gantry and are about 4...
Why spend a lot more money on a 4-jaw chuck (if cutting soft materials) when an adaptor plate made from scrap aluminum will work for all shapes of...
I had this issue with my lathe, it worked great on short moves, but on longer moves it would stall and loose steps so I reduced the max feed rate...
You can add a rotary axis. However, you will have to use either the X or the Y stepper driver. In other words, you will have to unplug one or...
You may have just been lucky. I had a similar issue where I inserted the wire too far and the screw was on the insulation. It worked great until...
Choose the "Openbuilds grbl inches" post processor. Or the "grbl inches" post processor. The gcode should be right then.
