I have a SX3 converted to CNC (with the CNCfusion kit). Went to start it up last weekend and spindle won't turn

power light is on - LCD lights up - and it beeps if I push the down arrow - but...

My USB SS would lock up as soon as the VFD powered up the spindle on on of my routers.

I managed to get it stable by putting it at the end of a 5m active USB extension cable like this:

USB 2.0...

Do you remember if Corel had a small dialog box with "laser carve" and "equipment manage" that was permanently displayed over the top of the menu bar? If so, the Omnisign machine may have a Topwisdom...

yes - topwisdom is a different DSP and won't run with lasercut. It outputs direct from Corel-12 (which is really useful).

Like I said, I have the software and laser working fine - but can't find...

I recently picked up a used 80w 1200x800 laser cutter and, after some investigation, found that it has a DSP controller from "topwisdom" and runs via a plugin in Coredraw v12 which pops up a small...

Yes, milling them out works.

I just got hold of a used 80w cutter and the mirrors were in pretty bad shape so some googling led me here.

Found an old hard disc and I just cut 6 x 24.5mm...

Sounds like an electrical noise problem to me.

There's probably noise feeding back into the stepper drivers from the laser psu which only shows up at engraving speeds/power.

or.. search for vector art versions - this one is an EPS:

On my machine I rigged up a mach compatible breakout board to a 15 pin cable that connects to the router where the NC-studio cable connected so I didn't have to rewire anything inside the machine....

I have a couple of Chinese machines - one had DSP, the other had NC-studio.

I've replaced both controllers with mach-3 because I was seeing dwell marks and odd artifacts in the surfaces.

If...

Also... check the spindle cable and make sure pins 1,2 and 3 are connected to the 3 phases from the VFD - they may have wired the cable incorrectly and now you have the earths figured out for the...

You can get a breakout board from Homann's - they're in Oz so you won't have to wait a week for shipping.

does the PCI card connect to the router with a 15 pin cable?

I bought a used NC studio machine with a PC already set up so I didn't have to install the card or the software. I wasn't really happy...

I've had a mill and a router (one with a smoothstepper and one without) running auto tool zero fine for a while.

I just set up another router and hooked up a piece of PCB to an input, checked...

Maybe this should go in the controllers section of the board but it does relate directly to Chinese machines running NC-studio...

I just got hold of a used JX-1212 http://www.jxsycnc.com/En...

I managed to hook up a piece of blank PCB as a touchprobe for zeroing the z axis to my NC-studio controlled router.

After making sure that the machine was earthed correctly. The power socket earth...

I just received a used 1200x1200 machine controlled via ncstudio. It doesn't have a touch probe but pin 1 on the NCstudio cable is where one gets connected on mine. If you don't have a "mobile...

I'm adding this info to this thread just in case someone else runs into the same type of DZB200M that mutski and I seem to have which doesn't seem to correspond to the DZB200M english pdf user...

Looks good - nice to see it arrived safely. Don't forget to add some anti-freeze to the spindle coolant. I purchased a second hand chinese machine a couple of years ago that had been sitting for a...

see if Hafco can help

They rebrand Seig machines and list the X2.

I had a bunch of spare relay outputs so I wired my spindle in series through the NO contact on one relay and the NC contact of the next relay. This way the spindle can only turn on if one relay is...

thanks for the link - did a test lift and it looks pretty stable. Didn't consider it would be easier to keep upright with one strap under the center of gravity like that :)

Need to move my Super X3. When I lifted it onto the bench the first time I used a chain block and the back of the machine rested on the workbench cabinets while it was going up i.e it was pretty...

I think you answered your own question by using the word hobbyist. On youtube there are more videos done by hobbyists in my professional field (computer graphics and animation) than there are videos...

Until such time as someone comes up with a replacement mach3 compatible speed controller for the super X3 I've hooked up relays in parallel with the front keypad start/stop switches. So even though...

Renshape is awesome but expensive down here. You can get it from http://barnes.com.au (download their pdf catalogue and look for tooling board) but last sheet I got (1500x500x50) was NZ$950

I ran the first cuts on my X3 on Saturday with a 3mm endmill at about 8" per minute with 0.01" deep cuts on aluminium but I was squirting WD-40 periodically. IIRC the spindle was at about 1100. I...

While getting familiar with a new super X3 I noticed there is a considerable amount of play between the spindle and the top pulley which is enough to cause a clunk when the spindle starts. Is this...

cutting holes in the front/back panels of a 19" enclosure for the PS and drivers will be my first job on the superX3 I just put a deluxe kit on as well :) But I think I'll test on some 1/8" acrylic...

With some help from the machsupport forum it's easy to add some extra vbscript to the m3 and m5 macros to switch the on/off relays. I'm hooking up an 8way relay board (from jaycar) to a second...
