Nice, where did you get your rail and bearings from?

Steve

I will put a build thread on here when i finally get around to starting the project!!

Too many hobbies, not enough time

Steve

Hi Guys, I am in Gloucester and have almost got all the kit together to make a start. I have finished my HobbyCNC board I bought last year, and just need the time to get on with it. I was going to go...

Thanks Frank, I appreciate it

Steve

Joe, thanks for that, I take it I'll have to convert the dwg file to dxf as Mach2 doesn't want to import the dwg.

I will get the hang of this :rolleyes:

Steve

Yep, forgot about that, suprises me that that sheild outline could take over 1000 lines.

Thanks for the reply

Steve

Joe great job, as I am also starting on my machine, I'm interested in the deflection of the bed, as it's a lot simpler than making a box section.

Frank

I imported your HD3 file into Mach2 and it looked fine, I then generated the GCode, but I only get the bottom of the shield, as a newbie to all this stuff what am I doing wrong?

Any...

Thanks Matt, I'll get one on order

Steve

Matt, I have just finished my 3 axis board which works great off a bench psu (great job Dave :cheers: ), where did you get your transformer from?

Steve

If you could post the code Jeff, that would be great as they look just what I need

Steve

10bulls, I cant get that url to work, any idea's

Steve

Chris

I have just started on the same road, but I moved from London to sunny Gloucestershire so can't help.

Keep us up to date on that machine, looks pretty nice

Steve

Thanks for the Metal Link, I will be using tube with bearings, and will try a slightly different design to yours. As for the 30ish, bit I wish I could see 30 again.

I will try and keep up a build...

After seeing all the great stuff on here, I have started collecting parts, and have ordered the HobbyCnc board and motor combo. I have decided to use the bearings on rod for my axis travel, any idea...

Thanks Terry, looks like I've started collecting parts :cheers:

Steve

Thanks guys

Had a look at the distel site, would these be ok for a cnc machine to cut balsa/ ply etc.: 5.1V @ 1.3A 4PH 110-OZ 200 STEPPER MOTOR

Steve

Just found this thread guys, great stuff. Keep the UK links coming as I havn't started building mine as the prices for motor's etc here are high compared to the US. But this thread has got me going...
