Hi everyone, I have two 3 axis CNC machines (one being a LEAD 1515) and I cut vinyl records on one of them. I've made a simple vacuum table...
I don't have the extra washer in the wheel stack. The plate to plate gap on my machine is nearly exactly 43mm. What would cause me to need an...
Thanks Alex. I happen to have 3mm acrylic which is nearly perfect. With 2 sheets of paper I can get the full width to 15.01mm which is good enough...
My nut blocks have two hexagonal recesses on one side to take the locking nut. On the other side it has two 2mm deep recesses that are exactly 9mm...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll try these troubleshooting steps out. I have a couple of extra questions if you don't mind: When I have the...
Hi all, I have a LEAD1515 with the high Z mod. Every now and then the right hand Y axis will bind. The left hand Y axis will keep moving while...
In my configuration the Z beam is fixed and the Z gantry moves on it. Putting the nut near the weight makes sense. You don't tend to need much...
I have the Z nut-block behind these two nuts on the Z gantry: [ATTACH]
Hi John, here's a few pictures of my 1515 with the high Z mod. The lower X gantry is the driven one. This shows how I've attached the drag chain....
Hi Paul, I'm interested in how you got the auto squaring working. I have the Lead1515 and use the XPro V5 and CNCjs. At the moment I have one...
I've just replaced the spindle on my 1515 and measured the deflection when the Z gantry is exactly in the middle of the X beam. Putting a 4.8kg...
Make sure the X axis verticals (that slide along the Y axis) are square to the Y axis. I do this by loosening the screws that attach the X gantry...
Nice! I like the black aluminium. My 1515 is silver. I see you're driving the lower X gantry and not the upper one, that's a good move. I found on...
What controller are you using that supports two Y homing switches and can control each Y stepper motor independently for homing?
I'm finding that on my Y+ gantry one of the wheels is very tight even though the other 3 on that side are quite loose. It's the top back wheel...
I moved the X lead screw from the top X gantry to the lower gantry. Now the top gantry is the slave. This has fixed the issue. Previously X was...
Here's a pic of the spindle: [ATTACH]
No third party parts, it's all kit bought from makerstore.com.au. I'll take a video of it binding at speed so you can see what I'm experiencing....
CNCjs seems more configurable and gives better visualisation of the pattern being cut. You can use ESP32 to run gcode files though. One benefit is...
I'm driving the top beam, that's what the plans called for. I wonder if driving the bottom beam would be more balanced given the weight of the...
