My wife and I went on an unexpected vacation so money is a bit tight, though I'll be mocking up some mdf parts to test fitment soon!
Get the collet for each size you need. The adapters add a lot of runout and reduce clamping pressure. Its a $5 difference too if i remember right.
If you want the best you can get and money isnt too much of an issue, clearpath servos look amazing. Check out Chris Depriscos DIY VMC on...
There isnt a limit per se, but the lighter the better in general. The deflection of the x axis will be proportional to the weight on it so twice...
For what its worth, the motor noise will be completely inconsequential compared to the spindle / cutting noise. I have an enclosure as well and...
Theyll be fine automatically as the drivers are 'slaved' and recieve the same signals from the computer. They will move the same amount of steps...
What part has you confused? It should just be a matter of finding the stepper wire pairs and plugging them into the terminals. The A axis...
270 shipped to the US. They even cut the screws to my specs and the screw bearing races are a good fit. The linear bearings aren't the best...
Fusion 360 is where its at. Easy to use, one package, and its free.
A present arrived today! [img] Still waiting for my router to get its new controller in. Should have just ordered a SuperPID but mehh
The tinyG can be used with more than chilipeppr. UGS is good, but basic. If you still want to use mach3 you have a bunch of options. Theres the...
Supposedly the G540 is much smoother and reliable. I personally dont see the difference outside of control software choices. The serial port...
The best system you can get for the lowest would be: 12v Meanwell Powersupply - $40 (upgrade to 24v for $10) Arduino Uno - $10 SMAKN TB6600...
I'm wondering if the reaction to the aluminum is normal or if it's due to the anodizing. It would make sense that the hardblok has some kind of...
You'll be fine with a .8kw spindle but the 1.5kw spindle is only a little more expensive and can hold a 3/8" bit. Any 1.25 hp router will do well too.
You are correct, I did model it with fixed ends. Not sure why I said simply supported. I agree this isn't the best way to simulate this but I...
I'm not sure how I would model the tension rod idea, I'll look into though. My foggy memory of mechanics tells me that it won't provide any...
SmoothieBox Controller
Have you done any runout reading for the extension? I'd really like to move to the er system but I'm worried about runout. Thanks!
Fusion can do static, modal, and thermal studies. Something like Solidworks is much more powerful but Fusion is incredibly easy to use. Their...
