Glad you solved the issue.
Thanks Sonny. Note to self-Build joystick jogging plug & play device for grbl and get rich ;)
Try it with $1=0 This will keep the Z axis powered all the time.
Thanks Mary :)
Is there any way of hooking up a joystick to jog the machine using GRBL?
How accurate is the machine using the 3D printed plates? I was wondering if I could make the build using 3D printed instead of aluminum plates.
What file types can be uploaded to a build? I tried using svg files and said it was unsupported.
That's the way I approach things as well, there is no failure available, only opportunities to learn how not to do something:)
Thanks for the clarification, I did not know that the strength was not on a gradient.
You should be able to adapt it, instead of using a servo to move the pen up and down, replace it with a pwm controlled laser diode. Not sure if...
I would have the parts remade using aluminum. I do not think that the carbon fiber sheets could take the long term stress that they would be put...
Looks like it is running Nema34 stepper motors (could be Nema42, can't tell the size from a pic). Pretty simple to get it up and running with open...
May 11, 2017 This project is on indefinite hold, no time for it right now. Since Openbuilds sponsored the laser power meter, I thought it was only...
Thanks to the Openbuilds fairshare program, the laser power meter needed for this experiment has been provided. I have almost completed designing...
Decided to use HPB's modified stl files from his build. He modified them to use the 20X40 extrusion I had. Here is a link to the STL files....
I love my lasers, in addition to a diode engraver I have 3 CO2 lasers. Can't imagine life without them.
Thanks
Hey Krashind, if the 3 steppers are available still, I would like to get them.
Nice little build. I have built something similair.
MDF does work great if you have the right vacuum source, my old shop had a 10hp vacuum pump with a 100 gallon pump down vessel that allowed me to...
