Any chance you can get it warrantied? These things shouldn't just quit like that, you might have had a bad one.
Have you asked in the V1 forums? They're very active, I'd be surprised if someone hasn't done this along the way, 3 versions in now.
It seems like there's some mix up over what's the focus? I've never once considered how fast my lead screw/ball screws are turning, or what RPM...
I haven't tried a vacuum table but have tried many other hold downs, and I've reverted back to mostly ca glue and tape, and screws into my...
Good advice given, I'd also recommend that you go ahead and order ball bearing before you eventually drop one or ten on the floor and can't find them.
Well done, quite a departure indeed from the mpcnc. What are you planning on cutting with this big guy. It seems like it could be ready for...
If you're planning on cutting aluminum I'd look at spindles over routers mainly for noise, as you'll be running longer operations out of necessity...
Not really meant to be a build thread by any means but here's the work I was getting towards, nearly all wrapped up. Fun to see it go together....
Thanks for the info. I can see the lever lengthened and understand how that is worse than the over/under. I assume the bigger difference and...
Looks great, is your gantry extrusion a c-beam though? or 80-40? I'm imagining my way through what I hope is a similar conversion and right now...
Okay thanks, I'll take a look and see about the line segment options. I'm familiar with the option in fusion but not so sure about estlcam.
Well it comes and it goes quickly. I've continued to cut and had successes and failures along the way. Definitely get more leeway with a 1/4"...
Hi Peter, I might be thick here but is there a max line count? I've run into similar issues with trochoidal milling paths out of estlcam for what...
None at all. I run the high torque steppers but I don't believe those are limiting factors at all as I don't think the frame's rigid enough to...
All done now with the cnc phase, it turned out well. Now I have hundreds of holes to tap. After a few surfacing runs it was already nearly...
Excellent thanks, I can see them now.
Hello everyone. I've enjoyed all these threads with testing and failures and successes so I'm adding a bit of my own. I'm wandering down a path...
Any chance you can share more pictures of the z axis/assembly connections I like how you've kept the distance offset from the c-beam gantry...
You could also spend a few bucks and take it to a machine shop and get them to do this critical part for you. Might be a worthwhile spend if...
Great thanks for the super fast answer Peter.
