Sorry, no. I see now. Not C-beam. Something you built up yourself.
Thank you! I think I get it. One end has a "BK" bearing block that is bored out to the larger diameter and has a nut on the threaded part. On the...
I've been thinking of upgrading my cross gantry axis to rails and ball screws (Sphinx inspired build with 1000mm of x travel). I looked into...
Yes, thank you. I’m familiar with GRBL and have used it for years. I also have participated in open source development and understand how it...
Ok. I don't agree that's "standard", but that is neither here nor there. The question is does this software handle tool setting, whether by TLO or...
I don't understand. I can't rezero on the material for the second tool path because the material has been cut into and there is no longer a flat...
I am not sure I am understanding the tool change workflow. I understand that you prefer the workflow of separate files to a pause on M6=>tool...
I know my brain is just freezing up on me, but maybe someone could point me in the right direction. I have a C-Beam actuator that needs to form...
@Metalguru that was just what I was thinking. The thought of using the treaded holes for the motor mounts is appealing. I thought I could adapt...
@Rick 2.0 Thank you. I hadn't seen that. Lot's of pages on this build! I wish I had seen that when I was ordering the v-slot. I'm reluctant to...
I've gone ahead and built a "Sphinx". I might make some modifications later. I'm not sure why such limited Z is OK for many builders. I guess...
I am following this with great interest. I think it is a path for prototyping different plates/configurations without a big investment in...
I'm interested in this design, but I have a question about the z-axis. I've tried to read through the whole thread (whew!....) but I don't...
Thanks! Just wanted to be sure.
Just to be clear, it is the same BOM and same build steps as the original "Sphinx", just with larger extrusions and lead screws (and the taller...
Thanks!!!
When putting together a lead screw C-Beam actuator, how much longer must the screw be than the actual aluminum extrusion. I assume the screw must...
@Kevon Ritter, I have tried very hard to respond to all your various points in good faith. I seriously doubt I "missed your entire point"....
Nice! What is the Z-Axis clearance above the spoil board with the spindle fully retracted (measured without a bit)?
@Kevon Ritter I'm not sure if you really want my opinion, but I think I addressed your points earlier in this thread. But taking you at face...
