It's been a while so I've forgotten the details of how I went about using the OB .skp file, but I was able to successfully construct a 3D model in...
Thx. Have the ‘kinks” been worked out on the 1515? I saw one video where the user was having trouble squaring the frame on the Z axis.
Is the CNC machine in this YouTube video [MEDIA] the Lead 1010 or 1515, or a different Openbuild CNC machine? Thx
I use an exclusive technique I perfected whereby I cut adhesive vinyl (mostly the commercial type used by sign makers) in to small irregular...
I've seen many examples online of cnc engraving machines adapted for pen plotting, but typically they are not intended for complex plots of...
The paid version of Ligthburn is $40 not $80 as I recall. You can try to control your Grbl machine with it if you wish, but it's not necessary or...
After a slow and very confusing start, I am able to successfully use Adobe Illustrator svg files with my custom arco 1010 pen plotter. My...
The visual measurement of the Y Calibration as per the wizard tool (that's the scaling direction that's slightly off in my app) looks correct as I...
Getting to the finer details on my 1010 plotter app, I have a special need to calibrate it. Here's a simplified example use case to explain the...
That's cool. In fact on the subject of the limit switches, I have wondered if it's possible to add +X and +Y limit switches to the back and right...
I would not say Lightburn (LB) is casting "blame" on BlackBox (BB). I think it's more a case of a lack of full awareness of each others role in...
That Grbl wiki is worth a read man, all of it, even if it doesnt seem of interest (like the Interface page which sounds like only developers have...
I'll look in to it - thx. Everything I've seen related to Fusion CAM thus far has been in the context of a 3D model and CNC routing so interesting...
I am aware of the back EMF risk of manually moving a stepper. You must go very slow when moving manually. But I do it on my 3D printer all the...
Is there a way to release the acro's X and Y motors for manual repositioning the transport for whatever reason once the BlackBox powers up? Maybe...
I don't foresee needing to change to different pen sizes per plot and if I did, registration would not be a problem for me in my app. Yes, a...
Forgot to ask. What vector software was used to create the tree illustration, and what software was used to generate the gcode? Thx
That looks like a killer mechanical design however, difficult to translate in to something controlled by a servo that would fit on the acro....
Solved the closed path problem - in part. Forgot to convert the ellipse in Inkscape from "object" to a "path". CAM accepted and converted the...
What is "blacklash"? Here's how my pen holder works as isolated test. I optimized the servo throw using BB's wizard tool once installed.
