Electronic box mounting, E-stop location and zero plate storage. Wire management was a little tricky to minimize spaghetti especially because custom length is not possible. The slack you see is for...

For my table surface I decided to go with horizontal segments with T-track in between. Been working with this for the past few weeks and really like so far. This was partially so I could replace...

There's 2 speeds so low speed is an option. I don't think it's way overkill considering that when the laser is cutting material far from the exhaust you need additional pull. I'm sure there's a...

I struggled to get good exhaust through the roughly 15 feet of ducting that I have (2 90deg bends). First tried an inline hydrofarm fan rated for 280 m3/h and that just wasn't doing the job. Next...

Yup...most likely just coincidence. The 1% as they claim is pretty much nothing. Hopefully mach4 proves to be more robust so i don't see these mentioned little bugs pop up.

As Ger21 suggested, I upgraded versions of Mach4 and it seemed to fix the issue. As I was reading the Artsoft forum the exact same problem was quite extensively discussed but with Mach 3 about 5...

I thought there was something else but drawing a blank. Maybe motor shafts but these may have been treated already. One thing that most don't realize is that sawdust absorbs moisture so if it sits...

I may have an older version so will try as you suggest. Thanks! It does seem software related. I've tried a wide range of accelerations and velocity with no affect on the output.

Your going to love it Gary. Mine took every bit of the 6 weeks to get to me but it was worth the wait. It was a lot of fun to put together because everything is well made and well designed. ...

The other day I was running a program and it was going perfectly until one particular G0 command sent it in a Y direction it didn't like. It seemed to stall all of a sudden and then picked up at the...

I too am having this issue (CNCpro 48x48 with mach4). I've just started trying to figure out what could be the root cause. Seems to happen at high speed movement with G0 command so will try to...

I've debated about a grid but always come back to just width of table slots. That's a much more common way to do it with CNC. I agree...too much hassle with all the small pieces.

So far my progress on getting CRP Pro to work with mach4 is going very well (I already had Mach4 and didn't want to buy Mach3). I believe those are the only 2 options if you go with their...

Just wanted to backup a bit and share my progress on the build from the start. I decided to work from an existing workbench and add supports to accommodate my 4x4 pro machine...time will tell if...

Progress so far on making my machine work with mach4...
- got the stepper motors xyz working
- got the proximity sensors recognized
- got everything to work with my motion controller

Would be nice to free from the internet but unfortunately I use a multi functional computer that needs access from time to time. Once windows 10 see's the internet it's game over if you're ever...

One of the first things I did when building my machine was cover the steel racks with Slip-it. Car paste wax also works as you're basically just adding a wax film and I think T-9 does a similar...

I'm pretty sure that with windows 10 they made it so you could not turn off automatic updates. That just means the dreaded forced shutdown is a real problem and could happen when you least expect. ...
