Maybe I'm missing something. The way I saw it was that the sainsmart 2 in 1 was essentially and Arduino mega with the ramps shield built in....
I thought RAMPS whole deal was that it was a "CNC" type shield and firmware combo for the arduino mega that was geared to 3D printing? Isn't RAMPS...
Been awhile since I've posted. Couldn't help myself when that black friday sale rolled around. Picked myself up an Acro mechanical set. Up to...
Yeah I think I got it. Seems most 600w+ spindles are AC. At first I made the silly assumption that all spindles were DC and power always needed to...
Reading quite a few reviews on 300w spindles saying that they're just not cut out for aluminum work. Once you hit the 110v power demand for the...
I was under the impression that most scrap and stock locations sold much larger pieces. A 6"x 12" is the biggest I need and I also have no way of...
Well finally got to the point where I was looking into specifics on ordering my parts. After shipping norva plastics is about $17 for a 6"x12" of...
Got it wired and test run was successful, thanks for the help.
Got my first driver and stepper in the other day so I'm trying to get them wired up but I'm drawing a blank on this. I have a ST-M5045 driver...
I'm not really keen on the idea of using a fixed full rpm router or at best a few set points of rpms for a spindle. So I was intending to use a...
Welp black friday was just too tempting, almost 6 months later I'm taking my first real steps forward in this project. En route is 1 of my y axis...
With all this in mind ill order some g10 at 3/8 and see how it goes. On another note, what kind of tooling does one use for phenolics? If it...
Looked up some numbers for phenolics and dang, with a flexural modulus like that on G10, you're right I could almost make them the permanent...
What kind of thickness shoulld i be looking for in phenolic? I haven't done much work with it before. I may have found a few free pieces of mdf...
I'm working on the final design bits of my first cnc mill and i've realized that I'm going to have to make some crude gantry plates by hand before...
So ideally you'd want a stepper optimized for torque in your expected RPM range? So the inductance number itself isnt important so much as the...
From that description it sounds like the KV rating that rc model motors use. A relation of voltage and RPM, the higher the KV rating the more RPM...
I'm relatively new to the cnc concept and was shopping around for steppers. I kniw that holding torque is more or less the "strength" of a stepper...
Dang your machine checks almost all of the boxes I'm looking for in my first design. Cool machine for a great cause. Edit; I am also getting a...
Update time, finally got enough cash and research done that in comfortable in making my first order. Narrowed it down to two different...
