Thanks for the reply Sonny. And let me express some shock that GRBL isn't your day job. I hope that your work on GRBL compensates you in a form...
Sonny, has there been any interest in factoring GRBL into layered libraries? Some of the lower level functionality could be useful in projects...
That's funny. After reading some comments that were critical of v-slot and thinking about how the forces play out on the OX, I started doodling...
That's the nature of the open business model. You have to keep innovating or raising the level of service and can't depend on intellectual...
Gray, you've kind of brought the conversation to where I expected it to go. The Shapeoko project, because of its open nature, spawned a bunch of...
The same thought crossed my mind, especially when I saw the Shapeoko 3's work area dimensions. Then I remembered that my goal is to cut 4'x4'...
There is some really interesting discussion of the shift in direction taken with the SO3 here, starting with the post by akhlut. OpenBuilds even...
The Shapeoko 2 is what first piqued my interest in CNC routers, but the OX is what got me moving. Even though I've committed to an OX build (bulk...
Thanks Gray. I did some more testing in the afternoon and ran an air job. It was definitely something resonating in the gantry, a long way from...
As soon as I raised the maximum velocity and did a jog, it became clear that the noise was due to something resonating with the motor. From 4 to...
Swapping the X and Y drivers produced the same result. I should add that this isn't just a slight difference. When the X-axis moves, I am near...
So I've been working on a refurb of an old Routermaster II. I've replaced the original electronics with a TinyG and external CW-5045 drivers. Just...
Rick, I may start pure, but pragmatism eventually kicks in. Joe, that was exactly the sort of comments I was looking for. Makes sense. A shopping...
Good catch, Hytech2k... Ya. 3.5 A on the 540. Enough to work, but there are better options.
I take your points on safety to heart. Its a serious thing. Thanks for commenting on that. Mach 3's reliance on a parallel port just pains me....
So I dropped by the local woodworker's shop. He does a lot of work making little boxes, trophies, and signs, among other things. I knew that he...
So I've got an OX build going. My approach was to get the electronics sorted out first and then move on to the physical bits (frame, wheels,...
CNC routers have some obvious advantages compared to 3D printers. CNC routers can be used for parts that are huge by 3D printer standards,...
Serge, it depends on who is working at the dump. If it's the right guy, all is well and I can snoop through the pile and take what I want. No need...
Just an update: I've been hitting EBay a lot lately, both for the OS OX project and some upgrades to my 3D printer...and some electronics projects...
