Forget the existing electronics. As long as you can physically replace the motors and electronically interface with the laser supply and limit...
Are thrust bearings for pre-tensioning a screw drive supposed to be a new idea? Before we start throwing around new names and credits, it should...
Yeah you can just program an Arduino to drive a stepper motor back and forth in one of those linear actuator kits, super easy project....
Is Z0 at the switch actuation position or at the pull-off position? I thought it was the latter. Check your pull-off distances, check for missed...
You should still be able to get 100-140IPM still, I do on my (dovetail way) mill without issue. It'll seem pretty slow on the much larger machine...
Decent rapids with 1605s likely require servos. I have a fairly similar plan for a future machine, planning on 1610s. 1500mm is just too far for a...
Well that's kinda what I was going for with 3), so fingers crossed. Seems like the easiest and cheapest option. Yeah it's a non-trivial project...
My extrusion machine is belt, so I can push it to 15,000mm/min. Doesn't help you much though. My mill is dovetail ways and ballscrews (but with...
Yeah that looks like an acceleration issue, not a speed issue. The motors shouldn't have any issues unloaded at 2500mm/min. Giarc's "dialling"...
Not 100% sure, just looked like there was a chamber prior to entering the mixing tube that could allow solidification. If not, then great! It's...
Hmm, that's odd. Certainly sounds like CM is adding its own extra flavor there, because I don't think that's standard behaviour. Shouldn't execute...
Make sure you have $32=1 in your grbl settings. It may be pausing to allow the "spindle" to come up to speed.
I dunno. Mix it up, pour it in, force in the plunger? I assume the tip doesn't have a hole in yet, so you get to snip that once everything's in...
Probably because of the clear typo... There's no logical reason why "G0 X0" should be followed by "Yy0" instead of "Y0". If you're not also...
This is still a more-or-less ongoing project. Mostly on the smaller finishing details now, at least until I decide to rip out the spindle....
I do use Fusion, but I'm a poke-the-thing kinda guy. I have a hard time doing remote tech support too. On a whim, I Googled "refillable caulk...
After some pondering, but not enough to make up for the lack of physical access to the actual project... 1) Grind the liner, grease the spindle,...
That's an interesting idea. I'll look into the Foredom bearing setup at some point, though I think speccing the bearings and boring my own spindle...
IIRC, everything I've read suggests keeping them in the 200-400rpm range.
Yeah, the TIG got it, the mill will probably get it, and in all likeliness machine #4 will also get it. It's kind of a problem, at a certain...
