It's not the first time I read in this forum that people are trying to calculate the steps, or what ever, for a machine taking the diameter of the...
Actually the USA is jammed between two metric nations. Canada, which is officially metric but still uses some imperial in the private section, an...
There are no specs, that saw, for the driver board but it looks to me like the TB6560 (I think that that's what it's called) chip board. There are...
A hood is good for sound dampening but for dust best use a dust shoe. Should have refreshed before posting and I would have seen that Mark already...
I had a 100A ESC so I used it and it doesn't even get warm. I used #10 AWG wires, which are 4mm. I'm sure the wires and ESC are overkill but not by...
Holly guacamole, Batman. :DI never thought of calibrating a machine this way. I guess you could do it but I doubt you'll ever get the precision you...
Robert, is that the colette? Does it has 'flats' for a wrench? I think I have the 'A' model. What's the difference between the two?
The nm stands for nanometer, as in the wavelength of the laser. Yes, the lenses make a difference but Tweakie can elaborate on it better than I can.
@GrandpawB, if I understand you correctly when you ran the roadrunner file everything was fine. That means, to me, that the machine is fine and that...
Are you going to install a spoiler board on top of it? Without it you will cut into the alu cross pieces.
The other thing that concerns me is the noise. It will be much louder with alu against alu than alu against plastic. I have enough noise coming from...
True words and apply to most projects. LOL It can also cause you some hair loss since it may be a problem to get the axis to be a perfect 90 degree...
Very true words, tweakie, thanks for the heads up!
@planga, I'll guess that most of your work can be done with 1/4" bits. 1/2" bits may be needed if you want to make high speed cuts. But then your...
Never mind the coordination of all the moving parts on the gazillion axis'. Did you notice they didn't use any cooling liquid? :D
That will be the no load RPM. Hobby King sells a device where you can measure the load RPM.
You can substitute Nema 23 for the Nema 17 and it has been done. The holes, though, do not match. I don't think that a stepper could be used...
evo, is the play in the gantry or is it in the outside plates?
I think flo used a computer translator to translate from German. I think he meant to gear it down with pulleys.
Wow, like Tweakie said, you are committed, no doubt about that. And considering all the parts that are still missing, the bill will be substantial....
