if your #1 height is 0.800 it is coming from the Vectric tool path,
also your #1 height could be Mach3 Safe Z setting

I use a Pen Holder, that is spring loaded, I will zero the pen on the paper or object I am printing on, I then use a cut depth of between 1/16” to 1/8” depending on how much pressure I want or how...

Sorry to hijack the main topic, about Software Dongle
promise this will be my last post on SW

Yes it's true, no charge to re-install, I have done it a few times ,
Only one catch, make sure...

I would agree, the online licensing with SW is bad, BUT also have to disagree too, at least With solidworks, I can make an extra BACKUP COPY of the SW CD, and if my PC dies, I can simply re-install...

Ya, been there, done that, not with rhinocam, but another software package , I will NEVER, EVER, purchase any software that needs a dongle NEVER, to all who are even thinking about buying dongle run...

I am working on upgrading my 3d print extruder, my first transformer was rated too low and I want to get a larger one
can I ask what specs you used for your transformer?

Can you take HIGH Resolution better picture of this
160068


also maybe step and direction pins mixed up from china in Mach3 or on board


also box says usb 5vdc ? where does this go in box ?

159941
does this board have seperate power supply? or is it direct to port
check output to drivers for +5vdc

I have never heard of an "air decompresser" can you give me more detail, is this a vacuum pump?

I believe in the video of the TTS holder he cut aluminum, the holder was machined true after it was printed,

it's not ebay, it's the seller, he/she is the issue, when you sell something on ebay the seller can offer combined shipping their items

pick another seller that will combine the shipping on...

I guess it really depends on what you perceive as finished, if the part is good enough for you straight from printing, that's great, I personally like things better, see the whole video, but skip to...

My wife says the same thing, "it makes no sense" with everything I do

but I do it anyway (flame2)

I just finished building an extruder for my cnc router, I made almost everything on the extruder myself, loosely based from this design, cost was approx $70,:banana: but as you mention, it would have...

I am starting to build a similar setup, does anyone know have any idea on the gcode for offset ? from router to extruder, or would I need to program manually

take a look at http://www.fabitrabbit.com/ 3D Files to make stuff with. they have .STL and Cad files for the Les Paul guitar

The biggest issue for me, for solidworks is not being able to save to lower version numbers, for sharing drawings with other users,

At least with autocad you can save to dxf and share or open in...

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in 3D printing :cool:
this guy is 3D printing with Mach3 and cutting on the same cnc machine

Your better off to use a double sided laminated MDF, and just seal the ends the last vacuum clamp table I made took so much paint to seal it for vacuum , it was ridiculas.

That's a strange one for me too, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not, I have often wondered why?

if anyone has some insite on this I would be very interested in knowing, becuase it's...

you need to machine the threads off

sounds like a software issue
-check for correct step/dir pin assignment in mach 3
-check active high /low

gecko is fine use a-axis and setup Mach3 like rockcliff instructions, that's it simple

all the information is below the video you posted, did you look at this? Styrene - Rockcliff CNC Machine Forum

other then a press fit, normally there is some sort of bearing retainer ring or clamp like this, 142790 was there any extra parts after the rebuild?

No worries, we won't need any skilled home builders

Unfortunately manufacturing is not in the future of North America, and is pretty much over , it will ony get harder, and more costly to find new skilled workers, it really is sad :(

But the...

Thanks Doorknob

Yes, the opto's are way too slow, so in reality the direction opto is not causing missed steps, but is causing a position error, when it's slow to react in switching direction,

you guys keep...
