Oh ure on the UCcnc Hype Train aswell Ger ;) !
Where can i preorder your Screenset ?

I think this thread can be pretty much closed- the final conclusion is: Mach 3s CV code will never be fixed.
...

Easy to solve in three simple Steps:

1.Open up Machine and Check EVERYTHING: make sure all the wires are connected properly, end switches, belt tension, bearings, lens alignment, add pressured...

I did experience exactly the same problems with mach 3 as bandura maker did, i lost a lot of molds / Tools to it and especially in the beginning when i couldnt figure out what was happening it was a...

The issue might be old but i still have to work around it every day. I think ill have a look at uccnc aswell :/

I really hope that mach4 has a new trajectory planner available !

Any News from the Mach Team on this ? this still severly criples the speed of my router, i resorted to running very low maximum speeds on my steppers ( Acelleration settings dont really matter...

yesterday i reinforced the z axis, im doing a lot of aluminium lately and the rigidity of the z assembly was more than lacking...

Got two 7075 5mm aluminium plates which are the same length as the...

6mm 3flute carbide bit.

Rhinocam, if it comes to price and cad integration nothing beats it ( when ur using rhino for drawing ) besides it really outputs the cleanest Gcode ive seen so far,...

And another vid routing Aluminium, now with a proper clamping setup ( and awesome music from Pulsar ;) )

ill do it, i PROMISE :D do u se the black plastic piece with the aluminium cylinder sitting roughly at 50%y ? thats my touchplate for your script.

Unfortunately i did an G0 with an 8mm end mill...

I didnt update this for a long time because the conversion to driven ball nuts took quiet a long time ( longer than i did expect atleast ) and i had some major problems with it, which are fixed now...

figured that much :D

I think i found another solution for my slow probing Problem ( atleast in my mind ) one could implement an optical switch a little bit above the fixed reference plate so one...

Hey Gerry i just figured it out, if i move the M03 one line below M6 so M6 stands solitary it does work as expected again :)

( Ignore M6 wasnt checked )

Hey gerry, i do have a problem now in my gcode if m6 is encountered the script is executed correctly, but right after starting the script the spindle does start, so what it does is it starts running,...

Slide ? ;) i wasnt aware that ur supported rails already have threads for fixing them in the middle, mine didnt ( that makes it even easier ) and make sure u drill the holes through the 8020 a fair...

A big washer would solve that problem though, i would go for solution 3; u can unscrew the rail from the support and then drill and tap it.

Im not offended by it anyway, that was meant more as a tip in general, its always nice being asked if someone wants to use ur work for whatever purposes, sometimes i find it linked in the weirdest...

I dont mind, but asking is always a good way to start if ure using other peoples pics.

:) cheers ! i dont think theres much left from v1 really ;)

I can only tell u one thing, the next update is going to be huge, i changed heaps n heaps

Pls relink ur Pics, i wanna see them :)

Thx Mate :D

I really cant say anything specific about the blocks, all of them work perfectly with no play at all.

I think it doesnt really matter because im running them way out of...

I Just rechecked the changelog and ure right its not in there, dunno where i read it, probably from the same source as u did.

I did notice a diffent thing aswell, if ur gcode is "too long" Mach3...

I did read that in the changelog aswell, but appearantly it didnt really work ;) its not too much of an issuue though, as long as ure aware of it and make sure ur cam doesnt produce arcs. ( as...

today i did experience the problem again and found the solution aswell, if i let my cam software produce arcs to smoothen the cut stalls will occur if i do the same toolpath just using straigt moves...

Thanks Crane, right now theres only one major design flaw left, as mentioned the y ballscrews are too long, but im gonna fix that in the next weeks :)

They dont exactly suck, if u use two blocks per rail and a two rail configuration for every axis they are good enough, especially if the machine is build from mdf or similar, have a look at my old...

no, that wont work for various reasons:

First the type of slider in ur drawin has a lot of play to the sides

and second taken from ur drawing a lot of force is applied to the ball / leadscrews,...

Hi guys,

This is my diy machine, i took me about 1 1/2 Years to get to this point, major changes which are still pending are changing the ballscrews on Y to driven ballnuts, building a proper box...

Indeed, this only affects the program side of Mach 3
