I did not realize that this thread still had any activity until I got an email from Ben. For anyone else who is curious, I have attached the plate...
That machine looks incredible. You definitely went the extra mile to add a great polish onto a rugged frame. Congratulations! :)
I think it is normal for steppers, especially at low voltages. I eventually 'fixed' this problem by upgrading to dedicated power controllers and...
And purchased. Thanks Rick!
@Giarc I wish somebody would sell that board. Currently, I've got a cobbled together breadboard setup for my limit switches which works for now...
I use the 'quiet cut' spindle which is 300 watts and is ideal for the plastic and plywood cutting I do. I don't think you can get this spindle...
I use cover plates over the top of the makerlink. If you make the hole spacing on the plate identical to that of the makerlink, then you can use...
I use an aluminum-extrusion table/shelf/bench for my CNC. Some notes for you to think about: (1) My legs are 20 x 40. The shelves and cross...
Adam, this is the same machine I mentioned in another thread about this about a year ago:...
The CNC Router Parts rack and pinion works well with C-Beams. That is how my current machine is set up. Steel racks, steel wheels. It isn't...
If they are the same price, there is probably no reason not to go with them. I went with the 'high torque' motors from the part store. When I was...
I use a 'quiet cut spindle' similar to the one you are using. (1) I find that it is best to use the PWM signal from your controller for speed....
I don't think there is a disadvantage. It is just that there is not much of an advantage. In a typical hobby-level CNC, precision outpaces...
Generally speaking, it is better to use a bit smaller than the hole size you want and have it spiral in. If you really want to drill a 1/4" hole...
As @Kevon Ritter says, the solution might be to accept the limitations of the rigidity of your machine and change your cutting accordingly. Ramp...
Odds are that the deflection you are seeing is a movement in the plastic wheels on your X-axis gantry. With everything off, apply pressure with...
You want to look into a Python library called Kivy. It should allow you to implement this and works with both Raspbian and the Raspberry Pi...
Work coordinate systems survive reboots and resets. So if you consistently use your limit switches as homing switches before starting operations,...
The basic idea of a probe is to have two pieces of metal, one that is grounded (usually the bit), the other that is on a logic pin (like a copper...
It sometimes takes them a few days, but they have always responded when this kind of thing has happened to me. And they are good at making things...
