@GrandpawB, gosh, it's been a long time since I fixed the problem with the motor running only one direction. It's quite common for people who do...
The 'thumping' could be lost steps. To high IPM or MMPM (for the imperial challenged :)) can be one cause of it.
As Dude said, you can use any material that you want but using steel you may be looking at maintenance too. Rust is the first thing that come to mind...
Roman, your machine is very small, which means it's not going to be used to 'tough' jobs. I would use the V-slot and solid Delrin wheels for it.
Thanks for the link, Michael.
While smoke and/or flames is a valid point I never thought about it since I've haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Will this be a problem with a...
40kw??? My dryer is 5kw. My stove, when all the plates and the oven are on at the same time, is 10kw and you want to make a home laser cutter at...
@zach. Sometimes a picture speaks a 1000 words. Post a pic showing your motor and driver with the wiring. Maybe by looking at it we can come up with...
Tweakie, after seeing your build guess what I'm NOT going to do. Yeap, you guessed it, I'm not making a CO2 CNC laser. :( I'll stick to LED laser....
That totally depends on the board you are using. If they are SMD resistors then it will be a bit more complicated. If they are throughhole resistors...
2A per channel is correct and that's where it stays, 2A. The channels are not fired, IIRC, at the same time. It's one winding at a time. 2A to one...
While it says 'dual bridge' you still can use only 2A, not 4A. Do what Tweakie said and get yourself a 'real' power supply. The one that you have...
All I can say is 'WOW'!
@GrandpawB, allthread works and is inexpensive but has the drawback that you need a nut that is connect to the part that is moving. That nut has to...
LOL Mark, great minds think alike. I was thinking about this concept, using the V-slot and it's accessories, but not as a stop for a miter saw but as...
What do you mean 4.5V? Is that what you input from your power supply? I looked at the board you linked and there is no voltage adjustment on it. The...
Dude, why is interfacing with linuxcnc a problem? I thought that Mach3 and linuxcnc are compatible, that is if Mach works on a machine linux works...
@Tweakie, what type of machine is the g-code good for? A router type, laser type or maybe impact machine like you showed on the Phlat forum? I know...
You don't have to explain!!! We've been there, we've done it and we've bought the T-Shirt! [img] Congrats and good luck, my man!
Actually he asked about the 'acceleration ramp' which proceeds the rapids and feed. If it's too slow you may get round corners, if it's too high it...
