Grounding of your CNC machine is very important, for safety reasons and enhanced reliability. Unfortunately, most kits on the market completely...
Bad practice? That must be why every other stepper driver board out there has protection diodes on it. You can't fix stupid, but you can plan...
First thing you need to do is build the base in the lowest configuration. This will give you a Z axis travel of about 80mm. Then, see my...
What the heck is a "Hiletgo solenoid board"? Optocouplers are the way to go. see: CNC Optical Limit Switch Isolator - GRBL by The Eccentric...
I have found that the most bulletproof solution is using an optocoupler on each limit input line. A 2K resistor on the transistor side, and a...
This post is 3 years old. There will be no more updates. See CNC design (parts named). My latest Sketchup file is included.
Thanks Peter, but you only answered half of my questions. What about the other half? MG
How about one of these: Single-Axis CNC Servo Stepper Motor Motion Programmable Controller [IMG]
I have some questions: 1. Where does the Interface get its power from? The BB 5V output? Or does it need to be plugged into a USB C charger or...
Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. What web page? MG
No.
This is my second attempt at improving the C-Beam Machine. The first was documented elsewhere on this list. (C-Beam Machine Too) It involved the...
It's never a good idea to force something to fit. The key to this whole thing is that if you have to force something into place using clamps,...
You also should have only one precision shim on each screw of the nut block, not two... MG
Back again with Yet Another Workbee Modification. Lots of people seem to complain about the Workbee having minimal Z axis clearance. Normally...
Huh? Says it has 2.5" cut depth above the spoil board, don't see a problem with what you postulated... In any case just make the side rails...
I think it would benefit from using 40x40's for the front and back rail as well. It may be prudent to move the front and back rails inboard...

A moving gantry machine is a completely different beast than a moving table. I don't see how it would be possible to convert this to a moving...
Not possible to convert a C-beam XL to moving gantry. I would recommend an Arduino/stepper driver combo to upgrade your electronics. Easy and...
