I’m using option 3. Pros: cheap. Cons: not as flexible as tracks, t nuts fall out. if I would go with a similar solution again then I would...
Sorry, I’m not familiar with the black box controller. So I can’t help you there.
Sounds like a good clue. Does the motor turn when you then the lead screw or does it slip? If it’s not slipping then it sure sounds like an...
The one I had fit very well. The problems with a single openbuilds is that he contact area at the back plate is narrow and generates quite a big...
Also check out the 65mm spindle mounts found on eBay. You might need to figure out. Way fasten them to your machine yourself but they’re way...
Thinking a bout more about the issue. Perhaps it is only triggered when there are more than one axis moving at the same time? I.e. generate some...
Could it be heat related? Perhaps generate a piece of gcode that simply moves z up and down for a minute.
I had a similar problem. In my case the cause was that the lead screw was slipping in the pulley. Since the lead screws at slightly undersized at...
Is this the same when jogging? I.e. just running 1mm up and down by hand. I B once hade a problem when it would lose steps when moving up. This...
Cool. My concern is that the top opening of the c beam is about 9mm and this only leaves about 1.5mm on each side for the rail to have contact...
Chris does great work and a really friendly guy. Did you just screw the rails to the to the c beams? When I looked at doing something similar I...
You should use a buck converter transform the voltage. They can be found for a few dollars on eBay. If you need to use a resistor then you...
I use the Makita (us version) and haven’t found it to be underpowered. The flex in my Sphinx is by far a weaker point than spindle power. For 90%...
So, 1000mm/min (assuming minutes, otherwise it's reaaalllyyy fast!) about 16mm/sec = 4khz. This should be fine w.r.t. step rate. With good...
I don’t know which controller you’re using (and to lazy to scroll back) but you might want to do the math and figure out how many steps per second...
Looks nice! I like the bit drawer. You'll probably want a second mount for the router in order to distribute the cutting forces over a larger part...
Hi Looks great and I like your thinking. I would suggest not blocking of the ends of the machine (I.e. with the electronics case and the front...
It depends on which type of driver you are using. Lower-end such as DRV8825 or a4988 tend to be quite noisy. That’s expected with these types.
You could try configuring grbl not to power down steppers when idle. I don’t remember the setting number of the of my head.
I started with OnShape jut switched to Fusion 360 and haven’t looked back. Having integrated CAD and CAM is awesome once you start machining stuff.
