Too late. :D
The bad news is I had already hooked it to the full 12V output and probably fried it. The good news is it isn't your fault.

I posted this to the Gecko official support forum but it appears to be underutilized so I thought I'd post the question here in case anyone has an answer or comes across the same issue. I have a...

Dredging up your response to an old thread. I'm making a new thread about a similar issue but I wanted to get your thoughts on this. The manual is decidedly difficult to understand but almost all the...

Gio666, are either the SBR or TBR blocks superior for mounting off axis (rotated 90 degrees, or even upside down)?

Thank you! Awesome and informative pictures

I can't seems to find an answer anywhere online. I asked in FAQ of CNC building subforum but I don't think the post was ever approved. The drawings make it appear the SBR rails have a smaller opening...

Pablo, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million.

I can't find any descriptions online. Any clarification would be appreciated.

The situation is I have a TON of this Bosch extrusion. I only said 8020 in the thread title because thats what most people use. It is 60x60h and it only has one channel on each face. I know all the...

I didn't want to start another thread seeing as I have been asking a lot of questions but since someone else did it, I'll ask as well!

1. Is this particular subforum the best place to look for...

Very interesting. This is good news for me because I was considering the 90° rotation. Thanks for the info.

I'm hitting the drawing board on my first CNC machine and am planning to use the open linear bearings from Chai over at linearmotionbearings2008. What isn't explicitly clear in any of the auctions is...

This may seem like a silly question but how exactly do you connect 8020 pieces (or any extrusion profile for that matter). I have seen hints at a through-hole that taps into the end of the upright,...

Damn you Virga, I can't afford to lose anymore duck tape and I've already had my Man Card suspended for switching to one of those bath poofs from the regular bar of soap. Don't rat me out.

Nice work, man. It looks very clean. I'm also curious about your total cost as well.

$1250 a month sure ain't cheap but $800 was just for my portion of the $3600 for our 5 bedroom outhouse of a rental. I really don't know what I'm going to do about a job though. Oh well, I'll burn...

Haha, what a small world. I'm moving to Fort Collins which is about 30 miles from Milliken. After paying almost $800 a month for rent and utilities in CA to live in a glorified shed, I doubt it could...

Ah! Very nice. Thanks for the pictures. I'll keep that in mind.

Whatever you have done sound pretty slick but I can't quite picture what you did. Can you link to a video or diagram of what you did?

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm going to haul this stuff with me and maybe one day I'll finally put the damn thing together!

@1armsbandit
where abouts in CO? Maybe I'll trade you some lengths...

I've always wanted to build my own CNC so back in December I traded a bunch of computer stuff on craigslist for a some T slotted aluminum for the gantry. I'm not sure if its the 8020 brand but it's...

I am considering buying a linear rail + ballscrew combo set from chai at the linearmotionbearings ebay store. I am hesitant because the pack comes with three sets of supported rails and open linear...

I currently have access to a full machine shop with most machining tools at my disposal. I've seen just the rails of the linear guides run for $4+ an inch:eek: and was wondering what sort of...

Thanks for all the input. I think everyone made it pretty clear aluminum is the way to go. I'll be sure to keep an eye on the 80/20 store.

Thanks a lot for the replies. From your input, I've certainly ruled out acrylic. I don't have any experience working with it, I just thought it would be novel. I am, in fact, very cheap and am...

Hey everyone, I'm in the preliminary planning stages of my first CNC Router. I haven't decided on what model to build yet because I'm working on material selection first. I plan on buying a kit from...
