Looks great! Do you have a video of it in action? I too am interested in the files.

I bought my G540 directly from the gecko website and had it shipped to my home in BC. It came FedEx and I had it next day.

It looks like your X axis is binding at the point that the vertical cuts begin. Have you checked for binding on your X axis?. Do you get the same result if start in a different position? When it is...

If you read the description it says:

I don't recall mentioning anything about ACCURACY in my replies. The point I am trying to make is that if you use 1/16th microstepping as opposed to 1/10th microstepping, your contrrol software will...

I was merely trying to explain the difference between 1/16th microstepping and 1/10th microstepping. 1/16th will give higher resolution at the expense of maximum speed. At least that's how I believe...

1/16th would give you higher resolution but you would lose speed as you need to output more pulses to travel 1 inch. If you are using Mach 3 your maximum speed for each axis will be dependent upon...

Yes, 10x means 1/10 microstepping. If you use 1/10th microstepping, you will need 2000 steps to rotate your stepper motor 1 revolution. If you us 1/16th microstepping you will need 3200 steps per...

I'm not sure if I read your post correctly, but the resistors are NOT used on the motor wires. They are current limiting resistors that are connected to pins 1 and 5 of the DB9 connectors (1 for each...

I believe that 1/4 W resistors are spec'd due to their smaller size. These resistors are soldered to the pins inside the 9 pin connector and the smaller they are, the easier it is to get them in...

Try putting the UHMW in the freezer overnight. This will shrink it a small amount and if you tap it while it is frozen it will expand when it thaws and your fit should be slightly looser.

Go to ports & pins in the cofig menu and change your kernel speed. 25000 pps will only give you a max speed of 75 ipm at 20,000 steps per inch. (25000 pps x 60 sec divided by 20000 steps per inch =...

I just ordered the G540 directly from http://www.geckodrive.com/for $210.00 (They are currently having their customer appreciation sale). You could order 2 motors from http://kelinginc.net/ for $39...

I am not sure about a digitizer, but you could use your existing part to cut a pocket of the outside profile in some MDF, (maybe a few thou bigger) and then drop your part in the pocket. That would...

Just read through your thread and I really like what you are doing. I am finally getting around to blowing the dust off my machine and making a concerted effort to finish it after about 18...

I ordered and received my flanged bearings from MCM a couple of years ago. In fact there was a problem with the order and in the end I ended up receiving the order twice. They were really good about...

Hi Group

I am in the process of developing a power supply for my CNC table and have purchased a photo sensatized copper clad board. I plan to expose the circuit board pattern to a UV light source,...

Thanks Phil!! (I feel like such an idiot) :confused:

Hi.. I am trying to design a PCB in Eagle (trial version) and am having difficulty in creating isolation paths for the various traces. I have used the polygon command to draw a ground plane box...

Thanks ynneb for the link - very informative. I downloaded and installed the files but when i tried to run it I got the folowing error message:

can't open '/temp/tempdrill.xxx'
No such file or...

I am not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but here goes anyway. I would like to be able to mill a small pcb using Turbocad. Can anyone out there tell me the steps I need to go through...

I would gladly send you $68.00 Cdn if you send me $60.00 US (lol)

Glad to hear you got your machine up and running. I am still trying to get my 3977 boards up and running... just not enough hours in the day!

What kind of pic carving are you doing? Do you...

I have finally got my first driver board built but I am having difficulty getting Turbocnc to run it. In particular I can't seem to get the enable signal to go low. I am using pin 14 for enable and...

Good luck with the soldering. I have already repalced one board and will need to order at least one more from Phil, but I think I'll wait and make sure I don't need any more. I also learned...

Nice looking machine, Para. I like the enclosure.

I too am trying to build the A3977 boards from pminno for my JGRO machine. Soldering that chip on to the board is no picnic. My first attempt was...

I think the part number you're looking for is 6383K12 (for 1/4").

Thanks for the info Ignatz. I think the correct number for the flanged bearing is 6383K13, but the info you provided sent me to...
