thank you so much - I'm hoping I can add to the magic :) I think your idea of converting digital images to gcode is genius and has a lot of...
Hi @oni305 I'm interested to look at how you implemented the inkscape extension - is the project code open source? No worries if not - and my...
Hey, I stuck a flag on my Z-Axis - turned out well ;) [ATTACH]
fyi - it may not have to be short notice. When you pay the import duty you can choose a delivery date.
thanks - sounds like the spacers might appear on OB soon !
Thanks - I did try to cut a longer spacer to length, but it was a disaster. Got me thinking though with your plumbing references that I could have...
After much googling, I find I cannot source the metric spacers that I need. However, experimentation yields a satisfactory span on the double...
That's great analysis - I am also building a double width axis and have noticed that the wheels do not sit correctly, using the 1/4" spacer and...
I have done something kind of similar with an Arduino too - but any microcontroller would achieve the same thing. I've attached a video from a...
thanks Tweakie, that's really useful to know. do you know if the outrunner-type spindles expel air downwards? I was hoping to have a go at one of...
As a newcomer to the world of CNC and milling, about to embark on my first build - I thought a health and safety thread would be useful! I...
Yes there are so many ways to do this, so many adventures :) Encoder, RPM display and constant surface speed is just around the corner! I checked...
brilliant :) what type of copper clad board are you using there for milling, is it HP?
Hi Robert, How will you vary the speed of the Stinger spindle without Mach3/PWM ? Does GRBL support this? (or did you mean spindle off/on?)
Tweakie that's great! (I really like the PIC devices, and especially the development/debugging tools from Microchip)
Hi Tweakie, Sorry I was a little hurried this morning and could have made my explanation/link a lot clearer. The document I linked isn’t a new...
Did you mean by using Timer Capture? This might do the trick... http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc8014.pdf
Thanks Tweakie, that helps - much appreciated.
Just thinking about how I will wire up my own emergency stop.... if I choose to cut power to the drivers, could I damage them, or the motors?...
yes - thanks Robert
