What controller board are you using? You should have it maintain current to the Z stepper during X/Y moves. In TinyG, you'll want to send $3pm 1...
I recently tried 2lb polystyrene hobby foam, which I assume is what RC planes use. It milled absolutely beautifully, I was taking 5mm depth passes...
If you have any capability to mill your own plates, you can try my idea here: http://www.openbuilds.com/threads/double-z-rails.1673/ That also...
That's an interesting perspective I haven't thought of... The mini v wheels might actually work better on the z axis. I'll have to incorporate...
If you really want to go ultra-budget, I've had pretty good luck modding a standard RAMPS board to fit onto an Arduino Due running TinyG2. You can...
Ah, good point. The two plates at the top and bottom should hopefully prevent that. I think I'll give this a try in my rebuild...
Hey everyone, I've been considering ways to stiffen up the carriage on my mini-ox build, and I've been searching for ways to move the spindle...
Have you tried looking at the gcode simulation? OpenSCAM (http://openscam.com/, yeah, terrible name) lets you plug in your gcode and check if it...
The acrylic plates are surprisingly pretty good. My plates are super tall, so there is a small amount of side-to-side drift. However, the belt...
I'm on linux. I've carried over a bunch of knowledge from building and running 3D printers, so this wasn't too bad. As for software, I'm using...
This is a mini desktop-router mostly for PCB milling that was originally inspired by the OX design. It uses 20x60 for the Y-rails, and 20x40 for...
I'm actually taking apart one of my existing 3D printers to put all the parts into the CNC mill. I'd like to retain the ability to 3D print by...
Thanks for the feedback! I was afraid of the acrylic plates flexing as well, so I have an alternate design that doubles the plates to further...
James Gao published a new build: An OX-inspired mini desktop mill. Designed in OpenSCAD, these parts are fully parametric and can be customized...
Hi everyone, I'm planning to build a CNC mill, somewhat derivative from the OX design. Has anyone used nema17's for the X and Y axes? I'm coming...
