These plans need to be permanently archived somewhere.
G540's schematic diagrams are informative, and meant to confront your issue. AC goes to the power supply, which is marked at the rear, by the wire screw downs. Know your connections before you charge...
A - 3.47"
B - 4.35"
C - 5.27"
Google noise-proofing solutions for shop vacs. There's some nice builds out there using MDF.
I'm not stealing anything. What I meant was that outside of being "allowed" by BobCad to continue using my own software, that I'd have to download a pirate's keygen of some sort, which is super...
Correct, though disallowing users' ability to re-authorize and continue using their own software is wrong. An instructive quote from my phone call with BobCad is "We can't".
As for their generous...
Hi,
My computer recently exploded. I called Bobcad V19 to reinstall on my new system, but they don't just not support my older version anymore, they won't, can't generate the code to authorize my...
SOLVED!
I connected the round motors in Bipolar Series fashion using a 1.7K resistor. The 1.7K figure is a sum of the motor's current, multiplied by 1.4, which is common for a 6 wire, full coil...
Hi,
I've a need to run 2 machines off 1 G540. The 1st machine, w/ squared, 4 wire motors runs fine w/ DB9 resistors installed. The 2nd machine wants to run kp56lm2-097 unipolar motors, wired for...
YES! You can. When you're reinstalling Bobcad, it'll prompt you with a code. Simply call Bobcad, relay that code, and they'll supply you w/ another, secondary code to activate your software. It's...
Bus tour issues? Yeah, because people got time for unconventional travel solutions.
Less is more!
Oops! Y'all are right, the proper number is 565 metric gigatons of burnt CO2, for another 2 degrees centigrade worth of worldwide temperature.
Here's proof. Do the Math - Because We > Fossil Fuels.
Anyone here read 350.org? It's where climate activism meets on the interweb. If y'all want to argue numbers, think about the mere 5.2 million cubic tons of burnt carbon it'll take to raise the...
I didn't even use calipers. Encouraged by Hoss' documented works, I checked the data sheet for the ballscrew & nut and numerically determined what the largest size ball that I could fit. I packed the...
I've had my X2 kit for about 3 years. It's been great! It was super easy, with help from fusion's instructional videos to put the thing together. I forget where the backlash calculates to, but packed...
They don't support the software at all. There are no training materials available, and their software, although more difficult to use than I'd thought, isn't terrible. My complaints aren't by any...
The customer service and support Bobcad offers is AWFUL. I bought a software off them, like 8 years ago, and had to pack it up for that period of time. So I finally got to unpack it and set it up,...
E/G has multiple advantages and uses. Though, the epoxy forms might be crushed under the aluminum's resistant toughness.
Is this even a possibility? If the press were very slow moving, could two halves be fabricated in order to stamp micro volumes of shapes into sheet metal? Could this material ever be cast strong...
Great looking conversion. Someday i hope to CNC my Atlas lathe, and original conversions like this are encouraging. The ratchet backstop is fantastic, and although appearing quite utilitarian, that...
Nice machine. As regarding the machine's market, I'd think that the sale of plans and components would be the best bet. Again, it's an inspired bit of engineering. Good luck.
If we were to start making machines in America again, we probably wouldn't use cast iron. It's easier and cheaper to use mineral castings.
It looks to me as though you're experiencing a backlash problem. I have the same setup as you do.
Zero in your backlash by changing the settings in Mach3 and referring to a known home location on...
Nice work so far. Have you thought about filling in the base and column w/ epoxy/granite?
I've just done a cursory inspection of the downward force/time requirements for forming a pyramid shape, as outlined here on pg 3. http://www.kirj.ee/public/Engineering/2007/issue_2/eng_2007_2_6.pdf ...
I've experimented with different sorts of super cheap tumbling media for deburring. I've tried the crushed walnut shells, pebbles and now I'm trying out crushed sea shells, which look like they're...
This is amazing! 20 minutes later and I already have my machine air writing in a Robocop font. Wonderful discovery Hoss. Thanks for blogging Bob. Big ups!
After a gruelling 3 day build, I've at last bested those familiar cutting edge devils with my finished parts tumbler. I'm poor as shux for project bucks, so this deal had to ring up at less than $15....
Here are some plans to build your own heat press out of wood. The plans cost $25. I didn't write, and don't personally sell these plans.
