I use Fusion 360 to do the design work, but I find Estlcam to be way easier for CAM generation. A while back I quit actually going through the...
It is still free for Makers and if you are using it like a hobbyist, the functionality is essentially the same. I understand why they did what...
If you are just cutting with a 3 axis mill, the free version of Fusion360 should be fine for you. I use it all the time and now that they have...
The one thing I did not mention was that I do a 50% step-over. 2500 mm/min at 0.5 mm doc.
My plan was to give it a shot and if it doesn't work, get a spindle. It is for the lathe for carving so the jobs will be long so a spindle may be...
Wow! Time has flown by and I have not got much done since the last post. So, as of today (September 25): I attached the spindle mount to the...
Yes. Then after that I cut several parts. Did you happen to have a dust shoe on that may blocked the cooling fan?
I did this when I built mine and made my own 80X40X838 gantry beam. V-slot-connector parts (V-Slot connector | OpenBuilds ) were printed to line...
Shhhhhh! Don't tell my Makita. I do not want it to get any ideas. It will plane the surface of my spoilboard (1500mmx850mm) with a 1 inch...
Weird. My Makita has lasted me almost 5 years now.
Or ask if it can be added to the list of controllers: [ATTACH]
Estlcam can generate gcode for Marlin. Can you flash the Duet with Marlin? [ATTACH]
Are you required to buy the Duet? I use a plain old Arduino based grbl controller (like the BlackBox) and Estlcam works great with it and I did...
I was also looking for other options, but I do not think it will affect me much. Other than my current redesign of my CNC router, I rarely do...
There are also new plates, thrust bearings, etc. that put the screws in tension and you can now get 1540 mm screws. So, that may be an option,...
If you know very little about electricity do as Peter said and hire an electrician (or keep reading to the end). But basically it is a big...
Here is something interesting I found. I am not an Experimental Aircraft maker, but the Experimental Aircraft Association has a $40 per year...
I think I may still be able to get away with the free version. Most stuff I do is just a 2D file I export as a DXF for my CAM software. I think...
