Thanks guys, appreciate the help.
Yeah the Centroid looks attractive for the reasons outlined. Costs are $540 vs $200-280 but I do believe in paying to save money later.
Saying that, the...
Another vs thread, bit boring I know but useful to get opinions from the more experienced.
Centroid (Step/Dir only)
Cost:Starter kit $299
Pro version + $139
Digitized + $399
Requires Windows...
Second WinMerge. Long time since i used but it supported a number of file formats, and saved many hours.
Thanks guys, and yes that's exactly what I meant
I had pretty much decided on servos for that very reason but spending 3 times the amount, eats into funds that could be used to kit out other...
PCW_MESA, shineworld, thank you both for those suggestions
and OlfCNC, thank you, help like this is invaluable.
Rather glib title I know but the the thread is a serious one.
I've pretty much decided to go DMM servo (Nema 23 equivalent) when putting together a CNC setup I'm considering.
For all the...
Thanks Mactec, said before but I do appreciate the help.
All the different options are coming out of my ears but I'm starting to home in on the build.
Cheers ger, interesting.
Yes, I meant the package deal they do with UC400, with import/delivery costs, I'm probably looking at around £190. Centroid will be more expensive (£260 min), and that's...
Has anyone got working comparisons (used with DMM servos) between the Centroid Acorn vs DMM BoB + UC400ETH.
The DMM BoB looks basic but robust, and the UC400ETH comes with UCCNC, which is well...
Thanks John, Mactec appreciate the help.
I must confess I do not (yet) have the required tools to give me that granular measurement... I had been working on the assumption of around that...
Thanks guys.
ger21. True but I've read many conflicting 'best practice' designs, and a few electrical engineers get hot under the collar when people suggest using two hots (series), rather than...
I'm referring to the secondary outputs that already come with the Tx when purchased, rather than custom overwinding. The overwinding was only a possible option, the main area was picking the correct...
Thanks AI (I saw some of your previous posts with helpful info re linear PSU... actually I think it was why I started looking into it.)
I've got some idea of the circuit design, including the...
I'm thinking of using the above servos and was looking at the option of putting together a linear PSU. (240 input)
Now, I have zero experience in CNC, or building a PSU. I'm busy learning what's...
I was all set on which motors I'd use (57N-DHT/640-DST), then after reading this thread, I'm back to being undecided.
(brief background. I have absolutely no prior CNC experience, and any...
