Yep, still following this thread starting back from 2007 ;)

Good stuff.

Run the drivertest program in the MACH3 directory, make sure you have a reasonably smooth line, and do what Gerry said...

Make sure Power management is DISABLED for all USBs / LPTs in device manager.

(right click USBs in device manager- go to Power management- Uncheck the box.) - referring to win xp.

Same goes...

Bad connection in white connectors on y axis motors.

Where the wire connects to the pin. It has been seen on yt.

For me, parametrics or not, Rhinoceros is the fastest.

Check the ports/ pins setup in MACH3. Maybe reverse the Step/dir numbers.

Thing is....

By the time the servos have to correct (because they are closed loop)

your part is probably already ruined.

I agree, steppers for the win, especially if you are just getting...

LOL, mine came from the factory that way ;)

Just get a chinese mill and convert it with ball screws.

Or, skip it and buy my freshly converted one. G704. ;)

I'm going to guess the motor couplers need tightening.

More torque is needed going up ;)

What kind of tolerance do you require?

Hoss, be sure you suspend that heated bed over the ally, I read about a guy that said that the ally sucked all the heat away from the element.

I'm guessing you knew that...just in case.

Complete package, contact me me for a better price than what I have it on ebay for....

Sorry if...

91% isopropyl alcohol, CVS, walgreens, no residue.

Ordered mine a couple of days ago as well.

The big draw for me was the molded parts ;)

I just hope that it's rigid enough to handle higher accelerations.

I wish I ordered the bearing...

Not missing a thing, and I totally agree ;)

LOL, what a waste of money :)

I'm local in the USA.

A LOT more work to build it than draw it :)

jflachs34,

I'm in the USA, I have a cnc router, made specifically for aluminum milling.

Parker linear actuators that have GROUND ballscrews all the way around, debris protection, full T-slot...

Looking at the BACK of a male DB25 pin 1 starts at top right, if you look close they are labeled.

I usually do it like this, but you can vary it..
X step:2
X dir:3
Y step:4
Y dir:5
Z step:6...

At $3 I would skip building one, good one Al....

I know your are making the cable that goes between the printer port and machine.

You do know that you don't need all 25 pins right?

I usually run 4 wires of four conductor, and zip tie them...

If it's not to much trouble for you just make one, I do it all the time.

Shielded stranded 4 conductor security wire from Home Depot, and M-F Solder style Db25's and hoods from anywhere...

R/C hobby shops have all viscosity cyanos, including rubberized, removers, and accelerators.

91% isopropyl alcohol works for me.

I did not recieve the RJ45 to DB9 adapter with my LCTHC....

I can go buy one at the electronics store, does anyone know if it it a straight through, null, or other config?

when you buy these...

Dugpits,

I have the same vise for my 704...works great :)

I love How there is no flange on the back or sides, of the vise and that I can use it on it's sides as well.
