Well done janlietaer

I want to get mine up and running but have the epl orange box version and need to find or modify an existing post to use the 4th axis under f360 as I don’t want t stuff...

Awesome @sterob. My old stomping ground!

Come along to our next makers meeting South West Makers (Australia) - Home meet 2nd sat of the month at Eaton library

Yes, down in BUNBURY, however mine is currently mothballed while workshop being build

I purchased the orange box and very happy with it. Very easy to use and no need for pc or Mach 3 license, basically it’s a rebadged ddcsv1.1. https://youtu.be/WX1-Dz-xOw8 is video of one. I use...

another free option is chillipeppr - http://chillipeppr.com/ It will read eagle format and produce the required GCODE, someone also has a KICAD workspace that does the same. It also handles surface...

I have a friend with a reported 60W chinese laser (so probably a 40/50W) and he struggles to cut 6mm pine. I have a chinese laser cutter that I replaced the tube with a true 80W and I can cut 12mm...

I only saw this today on YouTube https://youtu.be/VdfLF-Eanq8 so try contacting them.

Yes the standalone controller Omio uses is a rebranded ddcsv1.1 controller and works well. My only gripe is the inability to interact with pcb isolation routing with surface probing, but other than...

So glowforge are finally shipping !!!

Higher rpm = faster feed rates = quicker boards


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I forgot to mention that the faster the better for pcb, doesn't need to be high wattage as chipload is very low. But does need high rpm and low runout. I'd say 24k would be min rpm but u might get...

If you can your hands on the later models of the Wolfgang engineering spindle it will do what you want with very little run out.

I've had two of these spindles, the earlier models had a cooling...

The burr cutter is used for holes and and a larger one for cutouts. The board shown was done with 30deg 0.1mm vbit

here is the promised link to my calibration files:

one is gcode there other is a gerber

The gcode tests a range of...

Ahh ok my misunderstanding on what you were saying and I now understand, depth is as you describe. 1oz Copper layer is approx 0.035mm so I normally cut around 0.05mm but if not enough then I go a bit...

I'm using coppercam and happy with it I found it has a couple of bugs in the multiboard mode but otherwise for the price easy to use. I'm using it on a omio x6 6040 with standalone controller and...

I found the post here near the bottom of the page, but unfortunately it's only 3 axis, he does have a video showing him engraving using the 4th axis but he swaps out the x/y axis rather than using...

I normal run mine around 20K however I'd prefer it to run at 50K but your best bet is to find the "sweet" spot for your cutter by doing a number of cuts at different feeds side by side, preferably in...

Many thanks,

looks like a reasonably simple solution I that I will adopt myself.

Thanks again for sharing

Hey zeeflyboy thanks for sharing, I'm interested in what you've done on your bed? Or more precisely how you've done it...

so did you replace the existing extrusion base with acetel? or just...

They don't do western union now and I'd stick to the buyer protection of PayPal

Maybe a WA group buy? I'd be in

Thanks for that

I'm interested where you got the facemill from?

As a new owner of an x6-2200 with orange box I can say that so far I'm extremely happy with it, build quality and accuracy of cuts. Delivery was very quick and hassle free

I love the orange box...

Yes I gathered that most of the aluminium extruded beds on these type of machines would have some flex, however I don't know why they resorted to panels and not a single bed, well I guess I do is all...

I know this is an oldish thread, however can anyone recommend what post I should be using on Fusion360 for this controller?

Thanks for that, 12mm is more than I was looking at seeing I've come from a very light model cnc that could only do 3.175mm max so even 6mm is a bonus. For me

How about bed levelling? while I...

Just received my X6-2200EPL (with standalone controller) and happy with the quality, accuracy is good in my initial tests on some PCB isolation routing with copper cam, 0603 smd with 15deg v-bit. ...

I've only just received my X6-2200 with standalone controller last week and so far very happy with it in terms or quality, speed of delivery and simplicity of assembly. I'd recommend them to others....
