How are you wanting to create the labels? Printing or engraving?
I would get some 1/16" black (or any color) on white engraving plastic from Gravograph or Rowmark. You engrave through the top...
I recently mocked up all my components for a 24" x 24" enclosure. I mounted any heat generating devices; power supplies, drives, etc at the top of so heat does not unnecessarily affect other...
I recently purchased a UC300ETH and a license of UCCNC through CNC4PC in seperate transactions. Order shipped next day and I had my licence file within a few days. Quick and easy, would purchase...
After far too long my 30x60 Raptor is finally up and moving. I`m hoping there are some XZero owners running a similar setup that can help me get the best performance out of my machine.
Setup is as...
Do you have a retail price point on just the structure of the machine in both aluminium and steel? Not including any linear motion or electronic components. That would really put things into...
Looks like there may be enough room to have the linear bearing mounts machined down in order to move the the rails outwards and closer to the gantry uprights. This could be accomplished by a small...
Looks like an interesting build. Is the new design still going to use v-groove bearings? If the plan is to make the whole thing out of 3/8" aluminum I suspect you have the budget for true linear...
Could be worthwhile starting a separate thread with a list of parts/machines you have available.
I'm in the process of gathering materials for the control panel of my XZero CNC build. I will be using a UC300ETH-5LPT and a MX4660 powered from a 48V power supply. I will also have 5V (UC300ETH...
I think it was mentioned previously that user Ryanscustom on CNCZone was affiliated with XZero, I suspect they used to machine the parts for XZero. Could be worth a PM to see if they might be able to...
I have not received any replies from George. I was looking to get a new 1610 X axis ball screw for my Raptor as I paid for the 10mm upgrade originally but received a 5mm. At this point it would be...
Modeling threads in AutoCAD seems like an unnecessary and tedious task. Programs like Inventor and Fusion 360 have the 'Hole Tool' which simplifies this process and allows you to have visual threads...
As price point between the 300 and 400 is the same, the UC300ETH-5LPT seems like the better choice and leaves me with plenty of unused I/O should I ever need it. Are CNC4PC and Automation...
I'm tasked with making a similar decision for my 1st purchase. I have a Leadshine MX4660 that I will be using with my XZero machine, originally I just planned on using Mach 3 with a DB25 printer...
The only information I have given is to have a minimum of 1x the diameter of your fastener for thread engagement/tapped hole wall thickness whereas you say 1.5x. At 1.5x this would make a standard...
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'pressure'? Do you plan on inserting fasteners that are larger than the thickness of the material that you are tapping? The 20mm linear rails on my machine use...
A general rule of thumb for minimum thread engagement would be to have it equal to your fastener diameter, i.e 1/4" fastener requires 1/4" of thread engagement and therefore minimum 1/4" thick...
I would rather get the correct ballscrew from George if that's an option, I'm currently waiting on a reply from him.
Before I break out the calipers, can anyone tell me if the end machining on the Raptor ballscrews is the same as what is typically available from the eBay vendors? Or are the ballscrews on the...
They'll just be lengths of standard 40-4080 from 80/20 Inc. with brackets.

What have others used as a bracket for mounting the cable chain for the X and Y axis on their XZero machines? I have a 30 x 60 Raptor that I'm finally trying to button up. I'll likely just make a...
I had a similar issue, ordered upgraded 10mm X and Y ballscrews for my Raptor and only received upgraded X. George had his supplier send a new 10mm Y ballscrew but when it showed up it was another...
How did the remainder of your build go? Is the machine up and running?
What sizes is the Raptor Mini available in? Cutting area? Prices?
Thanks
It's very evident that a lot of time, planning, and skilled fabrication went into the construction of your machine. You're lucky to have the tools, ability, and capital to do so. I like that you went...
It's evident that you've realized that you jumped the gun on releasing your design for purchase, let alone for production.
There are plenty of other plans available on eBay, evidence of such would...
Nice write up. I'm at the point of adding motors to my MDF build right now, I'm going with the same 381oz-in. Nice to know what kind of speeds you're getting out of that setup with 1/2-13 threaded...
Build looks good, I enjoy the use of steel, mdf, and aluminum throughout. Did you go with the CNC RP motor/driver kit with the 12.5A power supply? Are those motors 2.8mH?
Evidently you've had lots of building practice, your machine sure came together quickly. Have you had a chance to compare its capabilities to your previous machines?
