It knowing how to prepare the file first that gets me what is your process
Just bought a 60W laser cutter and Been wadeing through this thread to see what I can build ! still only at p270 but nearly there :-)
Been looking for some plans on these Nordic Christmas Houses...
I was going to buy that one myself but went for the larger 700x500 60w version
same thing really except bigger and on its own stand.
It came with a big blower that is normally used for blowing up...
Are all these red 500x700 60w machines Redsail or are there copies as the one I am looking at looks identical but no mention of redsail
comes with the big grey blower fan
Wondered if there was any commercial add ons like the tool rest and spindle chuck fitting, I suppose a 3/4 thread in the chuck allos you to fit the lathe faceplates etc and just a matter then of...
Has anyone converted their mini lathe to do some wood turning? are there any conversion kits available
I have been running machine on 12v since I built it 24v would be a big stepup for me :D

I was more curious to know if anyone has bought any of...
Ok I will be the guinea pig :)
Back when I first built my machine 2004-5 someone had some free software that could do 3D faces, I thought I saved the software but cant find it on my machine, might have got lost on a re format. ...
There are lots of 24v 10-15A psu on ebay for small money is anybody using them

Looks great, would like to have a go myself but totally green to the 3D process, also using turbocnc ver4 to run my router, I have been using it for the past nine years and too chicken to try...
I am really going to show myself up here, especially after having this machine in use for 9 years, I still never got round to making a vacuum table :(
The lexan (polycarbonate I usually cut I have...
Although it was a long time ago when I built my machine I had easy having the equipment on hand, compared to what you had to do well done.
9 years, wow hard to believe!, since I built my machine on here I am finally cutting on it what I wanted it for in the first place, balsa and ply ribs & parts for Model aircraft.
The machine has...
Ok discovered a method that works.
The artcut software that comes with these chineese vinyl cutters can import dxf files, so all is needed is to make your page big enough to suit then just...
Anyone know how I can use my Rabbit 800 vinyl plotter with the pen fitted and plot with autocad.
Thanks will have a look, it seems to be a great way of producing a propellor without the complicated 3D plotting
I want to cut out some props on my CNC.
The whole 3D seems very complicated and I cant get any real info on how to do despite spending a Sunday on the PC looking.
In the past someone on here (I...
yes you had to download petrol file, but now they dont have it available
Been through these threads but cannot seem to find one that is a simple as buying a laser to bolt to a DIY CNC machine that will cut 3 mm ply.
I am not looking for anything to hi tec just would...
The cnc simulator programs stop working (cant even open it) after about 90 days and you have to download a petrol file (as they call it) to get it going. But now they no longer support the original...
I am pulling out my hair with cnc simulator, I just loved the old version it done exactly what I needed and then they decided to not support it anymore.
I would gladly pay for a yearly fill or...
You probably just answered the question I should have asked, I have been on reprap.org but never seen the forum, there is so much on the reprap pages, of different version and types and files you get...
There seems to be loads of info and youtube videos etc especially on the reprap amachines but very much all over the place and with different upgrades and versions - very confusing for someone green...
Just wondering why there is not much building activity on cnczone regarding 3D printer building I thought it was the big craze now, with the reprap etc.
Is there a specific forum somewhere else...
Has anyone any links for some rib templates/drawings, All I want is to be able to cut out some very simple flat bottomed ribs.
I have found the 2 flute (slot drills) are the only job for cnc work. I am cutting polycarbonate 95% of the time and have yet to wear one out. I use 3mm carbide tipped for most of my work.
Love...
Thanks guys for replies
I discovered a thread on doubling up PC PSU like as you mentioned Daisy chaining PC PSU in the electronics forum.
As for now current supply was my problem, so I wired...
To answer my own question now I have tried it, No!
