Ok, so upon further review, I'll blame this one on my shoddy soldering :) Upon closer inspection on of the header pins wasn't well soldered. Once...
I should note that I have also tried various feed rates and there doesn't appear to be much difference between the default feed/seek rate of 200 and...
Sorry about the privacy setting. It should be visible now. I bought the delrin nut and screw from the same guy. I haven't tried adjusting the nut...
So, I have my X and Y moving fairly smoothly but my z axis is causing me trouble. I went out and replaced the cheaper Pololu DRV8825's that I bought...
Forrest, You are quite correct. Once I figured out that it was my positioning of the Pololu drivers that was the problem the shield's documentation...
Wasn't the shields fault at all. Evidently I should look at the correct driver board when orienting them on the shield :) The Pololu DRV8825 has the...
I'm using the Protoneer shield. I've got GRBL installed and the Universal G-Code Sender is communicating with the board. However, I am not getting...
Good to hear. I'm using the 12V 30A power supply I bought from the parts store. Should I be adjusting that down in Amperage at all? As near as I can...
About to give the electronics their first run. Hoping my ineptitude doesn't rear it's ugly head.
The plate seems to accept a 15mm bearing snugly so I went with 15. Others have said that they have had luck with 16 but even at 16mm it is a "very...
Ok, so I found a 6mm bearing with a 15mm outer diameter and figured double rubber shields would have to be ok so I ordered them up here:...
What bearings have people used on the 6mm leadscrew? For some reason I overlooked the fact that the 625 2RS only have a 5mm bore.
When all is said and done I'm going to have enough screws left over to almost build this all over again. I'm hoping 20mm M5's will be sufficient to...
I'm thinking of using a Raspberry Pi with the piTFT from adafruit to interface with my Arduino and GRBL shield. http://www.adafruit.com/products/1601
This looks great. I need to do a 3d printer after I finish my Routy CNC-router. I'll have to get someone to print the parts.
It occurs to me that I didn't was not terribly clear in my post on electronics. Currently my issue is that my board is rated at 2A+ and my motors at...
I'm out in the garage making long pieces of v-slot into shorter pieces :) Hopefully the right length. I'm expanding the width of the device by...
Is it just me or does the model show a total of 16 extra precision shims? The parts list is showing two and I'm not sure where they come in but I...
I mean the v-slot that is serving as the linear rail for the Y axis, currently made out 750mm of 2060. My only worry is that the plate isn't big...
Also, I think I plan to make part 2 out of 2080. Any reason that wouldn't work? Would the motor mount be ok staying where it is and still have...
