Redid the heart and coasters to give to my wife for our 20th wedding anniversary. She was over the moon with them.
A bit more progress last night getting my head around lightburn. Not having the heavy Z on there certainly helps with acceleration. Going to...
It’s surprising how much the z axis weighs. Mine comes in at just shy of 5kg as pictured with the Makita mounted.
Less weight to move means I can ramp up the acceleration due to less inertia.
got some time in the workshop today so I got the laser mounted. 5.5w diode laser. Using the Openbuilds plates as quick disconnects for the...
I don’t even know where it is!!
Mine should be here by weekend then another learning curve begins. The only thing that concerns me with the 5.5w laser is reports of poor...
Perfect! Thanks for the speedy response Mark I suspected that i needed to share the ground, but needed the confirmation. What Laser are you...
i did a search to try and find an answer so forgive me if it’s already been covered. I fancy having a play with a laser on my Sphinx build But...
One of the things that catches me out on the OB control software is the 0.1 / 10mm / 100mm jog steps. I've been positioning the Z and forgot it...
Just a quick update on my experience with the BB Controller I got mine as soon as was released. Must have been one of the very first to order and...
Two wire limit switches work fine. Just connect to the outer connectors on the three pin connector and leave the center disconnected.
Similar to this (I migrated this from my Sphinx to the LEAD) But instead of using the mini wheels and the double plate you’d be using standard...
No problem @Mark Carew, all the praise it’s receiving is well deserved and shows some real thought and care in the design and implementation....
I was too impatient so ordered it direct the moment it was released on the OB site and was one of the first to receive it and it’s been doing a...
I use WD40 Dry Lube (PTFE) on my screws, backlash nuts and any other moving part. - Was recommended on a thread on here
V2.5? Any major changes to this revision?
I’ve never been a fan of the moving z axis on the LEAD so I use the z configuration from the Sphinx with a double c beam plate with mind wheels on...
I’ve not had an issue with my machine / drivers and static (running arduino and separate Dq542ma drivers on the Sphinx) With the dust extractor....
:-) Thanks, Made it from scraps as i wanted to be able to pull it around my small workshop to attached to hand-held tools when not using the CNC.
