Good idea. I will see if I can get the info together in the near future to add separate build for this. I did redo the pen gantry to use a...
The tool head is a Nema 17 linear actuator with lead screw controlling the Z axis. The lead screw is about 15cm long, and the gantry holds an...
It is a Core XY Laser Cutter/Etcher. Powered by a 3.5 watt blue laser. [MEDIA] My build is a Core XY system with a Z axis. The laser module I am...
Thanks everyone for your replies! Very helpful. We are going to go with the Acro system and custom make a Z-axis that will match our needs. We...
Thanks for the input WildBill. My main goal is to have a laser, so I'm going to move ahead. I think I'll buy the additional parts to add the...
To etch multiple workpieces simultaneously, you'd have to build a bar to hold them at fairly precise offsets to each other, figure out a removable...
Newbee to openbuilds here. Anyone familiar with the multifunction plotter called "Tooli" produced by Toolbotics? toolbotics. It's a large scale...
oh my mistake, I saw 'ACRO' and assumed laser. You're using a reciprocating pin cutter so you want $32=0 for sure. You should be able to control...
Standard Acro frame with a servo- or pneumatic-operated petal grip (pneumatic would allow you to adjust operating pressure instead of building a...
I just finished building my Acro 510 and I'm having problems getting the motors to move. I followed both tutorial videos but my machine has no...
I almost hate to ask about this because it is probably something simple. I currently have a CNC router that I built in 2016 which uses an Aduino...
Nice unit. I wish I had bought an OptLaser the first time. True 6W performance, rock-solid. Thanks - never heard of them, but always looking for...
I just want to report another great Acro laser build! I've 20x40 version with 6W OptLaser being driven by xPro CNC board. I've been cutting balsa...

Thank you for all that. I had thought Vectric had the controllers built in. So, breakout board or Arduino? If I do Arduino, it will give me...
Hello OpenBuilders, I need help. I have an ACRO 2020 with the BlackBox X32, a z-axis gantry and brushless Genmitsu spindle motor and controller....
cam.openbuilds.com can generate the Gcode for you from a DXF file. Since you are not trying to yank a 700 watt spindle up those should work fine....
