Well I finally got tired of waiting for help and put a ton of hours into modeling a stock for my Savage 93R HMR. It does not have the bull barrel. 3d printing hopefully the last test piece with the...

Hoping someone could help. I want to mill a stock for my 17 and can't find any files or buy an original 93R stock that I can modify. I don't want to go to Boyd', I want to create my own.
Thanks,...

Does anyone have a wiring schematic for adding a laser to a cnc router.
I am running mach 3 which will probably be controlled via ttl to ground. I do not have an ethernet card so I believe pwm is...

Found the problem. swapped the y and z cables and y acted up, z was ok. That told me it was in the z cable. Opened it up and 2 wires were lose from the solder joints. Works fine now. Thanks for the...

I'm using Mach 3 with a 4 axis Gecko drive. When I use the keyboard to jog the machine on the Z azis only it will reverse itself (pg up sends carriage down and visa versa). It is not consistent. If...

Thanks

Does anyone know where I can purchase 5/16-18 anti backlash nuts? I need (3) of them for my old machine. Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to the model above. Excellent work. I've been looking for a decent dollhouse plan for years and never found one. You nailed it.

Sometimes you overlook the obvious. The relays would only trip when the safety switches were on and not if I by-passed them. Turns out I had a bad limit switch that vibrated when the rpms of the...

One thing I just discovered. The router will run without tripping provided it is on it's lowest speed setting. I have to believe that the router is generating some kind of noise that's tripping...

Guys I really need some help here. My machine is pretty much done. I bought a gecko 4 axis drive and built the control box. Included here is a schematic of the wiring. The machine runs flawless at...

There's a new free prodcut from Autodesk called 123make. It will create puzzle pieces from OBJ and other formats. The link is

CarveOne,

Did you ever post a wiring diagram for your gecko board. My setup is close to yours and it would sure save me some time knowing what resistors to use on the 425 oz steppers.\

You did a great job building it. I had built the 24x36 version and opted for plywood beams instead of the pine because of warpage (which you will have). I am building a larger altered version of the...

Project is still going. Will send more pics this weekend. The flange bearings shown are a little stiff for my liking so I'm making my own with smoother bearings. The thrust bearings I bought from VXB...

Does anyone have a puzzle for a F14 Tomcat?

Work is progressing. Anti-backlash nuts and brackets installed. I'm getting harmonic distortion in the 1/2" shafts. I'm putting thrust bearing on the ends and hope that most of it goes away when I...

Decided to build a 2nd machine based on my 1st Solysia. The 1st table had a cut area of about 22 x 34. The new one is 40 x 48. Going to use a Freud 2-3/4 HP router with a 1/2" collet. Most of the...

Quick question. Do you have to adjust the slots on the 3d puzzles for the thickness of the material you are using? Common sense says yes.

For those of you that requested the Autocad file. Unzip and enjoy.

Here's a great link I found for 1000's of company logo's

rar it's a zip file

Been awhile since I contributed so what better way than to share a lil Jack.
Enjoy. It's scaled for an 8"x10" area but you can scale it to whatever you want. Spent a lot of time tracing this one but...

I have found a great program for all of you that have been frustrated converting images to vectors. It's called Vector Magic, is easy to use and has minimal cleanup. One small drawback is it does not...

Get to work

Back to the drawing board eh Jer? His point is well taken, something both of us overlooked. This forum has been great helping me build my machine and now yours.

I just carved my 1st lithopane and nailed it on the 1st pass. I'm using bits that my dentist gave me. Tons of different profiles. My dentist throws them out after every patient no matter how long he...

Haven't looked at Switcher's yet, but this one is a Walleye.
