I have to chime in here. I went the 800W air-cooled spindle + VFD route. It works. But it was a royal pain to get everything installed,...
I anticipate no structural issues. But as others have pointed out, I would expect that the zero of at least one axis will shift during transition....
In my experience, this is a problem with the controller board not getting power from the power supply. The PC/RPi or whatever you're using to run...
If it helps, I picked up my 120V VFD off of eBay.
I would be interested to know which bits you used for this as well as your feeds & speeds.
The problem ended up being solved by a thin bead of 3-in-1 oil along both Y-axis lead screws. And a good hit with the air compressor to make sure...
I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything. On the positive side, that doesn't seem like my problem at all. Like the others, I...
Ugh. That would suck rocks. I've already thrown a lot of money at this thing. The ones that came with the OpenBuilds parts store Workbee kit. I...
Ugh. I tried to get some carving done last night and the VFD noise got progressively worse. Lots of hard limit stop messages. First pass got about...
You power the VFD separately. Mine plugs into a standard 110v outlet. A different outlet runs to a power strip which feeds the 24v power supply,...
At the very least, I want pictures when you're done with this whole ordeal. Or if not done, at least to the point where you can carve your name...
And now with video! (my apologies for the delay. I had to work a bit late today). (Also, I apparently can't remember negative from positive in the...
Hey guys, my Workbee 1050 has been doing pretty well until recently. The Y axis makes a fairly ugly grinding noise, but it only does so when it's...
I added a machine for my Workbee 1050. I'm not sure what it does for me just yet. I suppose I could manually add my Trinus and see if I can use it...
Heh. I noticed the advertised OpenBuilds touch plate when I logged on today. So yes, I am pretty confident that new probe functions are imminent....
Aha. One more dumb idea: Instead of having the flag go up & down to tell you the status of the VFD, why not rig up the flag to be the switch for...
Is there a reason why you wish the camera to orbit the subject instead of the traditional method of having the subject rotate on a platform?
At this point, I think you're chasing the concept of "perfect" and ignoring the concept of "better". Nuts, there I go again. Interesting and...
Yeah, I once had this thought that ran along the lines of "You know, a CNC router would allow me to make so many things and it is a hobby I can...
Gentlemen, I am nowhere near your level of knowledge on this subject, but I had a thought. Have you considered buying a large cheap metal mailbox...
