An modified Ooznest kit. Modifications so far include: Y-Axis modification to hide the exposed screw, add rails for support and an aluminium...
I've not had any issue with the backlash nuts so far; I set them up and tightened the lock nut and I've not had to adjust yet. Indeed maintenance...
Base complete(ish). Hopefully much more chip proof.
I ended up fixing the front of the base with a couple of custom plates cut from some 3mm. Cutting them served as a test of the new set up and it...
I drilled and tapped M5 holes in the back of the solid mount to match the gantry plate, then screwed one to the other. I'm waiting on some cable....
Hmm, the board layout on their web site suggests you set the stepping using the jumpers underneath each driver board; marked M0 to M2
Next you're on to microstepping and mm per step. I don't know the shield you have, but you'll want to set your microstepping at 8 (however that's...
Have a look in the CBeam Machine Control Software zip (in the files and drawings at the top of the thread if you don't have it). Somewhat...
The table moving under pressure I'd say is expected; it's certainly my experience and makes sense given the design. You'll see some have doubled...
It hides the output from $$ unless you have verbose output turned on; but turning that on gets you all the position polling spam. You can...
I had similar problems to start with and still do to a lesser extent. Adding to Grays words the other sage advice I read on this board is to make...
You might be served better by a new thread, but the "small area" issue sounds like controller settings (mm per step). What controller are you...
@Metalguru The extra long corner is there to mount my VFD controller. My intention there was to open that up and put fine mesh inside the vents to...
Indeed; I started with MDF but it just got saturated when using lubricant so wanted something more waterproof. I went with a sheet of 5251 in the end.
I'm not sure if the water cooled spindles are lighter. I imagined they would be about the same but with the added complication of the water...
A nice side effect of the slightly reduced X reach caused by the mod is that I've discovered I can flip the "L" plates at either end of the X Axis...
After getting the Y table all sorted, I started trying to cut the aluminium project that prompted it. After a handful of alu chips found their...
Just to throw this in. For diagnostics you may want to try sending some G-Code G0 commands and make sure the spindle is going where you'd expect...
It sounds like the Z driver may have different microstep. Which Adafruit driver is it?
That's been one of the things I've found most difficult to understand with this hobby. I spent a lot of time on forums reading about feeds/speeds...
