Hmmm, very odd. I've tried it in both FireFox, and Chrome, and it works fine. It turns white, and then pops up a box in the middle of the screen asking for a file. Maybe this is considered a popup...

While I'm sure it is possible to print liquid tight parts, I suspect this is far less common. I know in my case, that the parts I have tested were not liquid tight, and my parts are usually...

You may want to check out how liquid tight your 3D printed parts are, as they are likely quite porous (though this might not matter depending on how you are using them). This seems to be one of the...

I tried other dampeners first, and they were just too springy. The hockey pucks are much better, and the price is certainly good!! Note that I think I saw someone else use them for this purpose, so...

Not really a bad idea. I have my G0704 mounted to a 1/2" steel plate that is 24"x29.5", which weighs about 100lbs. The plate sits inside one of the Grizzly movable bases, so the mill is easy to...

It looks like the images were hosted on imageshack, and they are no longer there. You would need to contact the OP, to see if he could send you the pictures.

You can get the paint from Grizzly. This is the paint for the column:Grey Putty Ref G0504 | Grizzly Industrial, and this is the green paint: N/S GRIZZLY GREEN G1023S | Grizzly Industrial.

In this thread: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/benchtop-machines/278056-cnc-cad-mastercam-forum.html the OP talks about having made a model. Perhaps he would share it with you.

I remember seeing a model someone created somewhere on CNCZone. You would need to do some digging to find it though.

Could you just drive both motors from the same axis instead? Then you would know that the same number of pulses were being sent to each motor.

You forgot Aluminium.... British English

In the scheme of things, you can buy a new saddle, from Grizzly for $80 plus shipping. Put the new saddle on the mill, and machine the old one, then swap when finished. This would work fine even if...

Except, if you are using this coordinate system, moving in a positive direction in X requires the table to move left, which is what ihavenofish was suggesting. So, pressing the right arrow, moves...

I used one of the Shop Fox mobile bases, but added a 100lb 30"x24"x1/2" steel plate to the bottom, and mounted the stand to that. It seems to do a good job of adding some mass at the bottom, and...

[QUOTE=cd_edwards;1673866]

I just extended mine by adding a M6 57.5mm spacing stud (McMaster-Carr #98867A270), a coupling nut (McMaster-Carr #93355A100), and then screwed the handle to the end. A...

I'm curious to know what keeps the shaft from moving up and down, as I don't see any shoulders on the shaft? Are you relying on press fit bearings for this?

The first printer I built (and only one) was an extra large self sourced MendelMax 1.5, so you would probably be ok with a kit. It is a pretty stiff machine as is, and you can make it even stiffer...

Now Hoss will have a good excuse to wear shades... :cool:

I worried about that as well when I first bought mine, so I ordered a replacement set of gears just in case. It usually takes awhile for Grizzly to get these in stock, so I figured it would be cheap...

Well, it doesn't slide around if that is what you mean. It does still rock a bit, I suspect since there is some give to the hockey pucks. I did want to absorb some vibration though, so this might...

I bolted my stand to a 1/2" cold rolled steel plate that is 24"x29.5", and then mounted the plate to one of the Shop Fox mobile bases. Instead of trying to level the whole thing using the leveling...

The codes I've always had have been one time use ones, even though it is not indicated. I've tried using them more than once and had it rejected on the second use. It does mention Canadian...

I do, but I'd like to use it myself. Have you ordered a Grizzly catalog? That is how I got my first one just before I ordered a milling machine.

Every Grizzly catalog I have received (3 now) has has a 5% off coupon, but maybe that is something they do to encourage Canadians to buy.

Go to the menu option "Tools/Equation Editor". You can also add them when editing a dimension if you hit the f(x) button when entering the dimension value.

Cubify Design is the same as the Geomagic Design products, but with a reduced feature set, and is fully parametric. You can definitely do what you are describing, i.e. define a wall thickness as a...

As far as I know the interface is identical. Different levels of the product just offer enhanced features. In fact, I think Geomagic can pretty much build in the features you want, as all features...

Alibre was bought out by 3D Systems, who also own Geomagic. The Geomagic Design product is the same as Alibre, it was just renamed. The old Alibre personal edition, is now called Cubify Design, but...

I placed an order with McMaster-Carr a year ago from Canada, and it was declined with the usual excuse, even though I used my company name. After reading one of the comments here, I tried again last...

Take a look at shars.com. They have a number of toolmaker's vices that are wider than 75mm. I have this one: Precision Toolmakers Vise 6", which has jaws that are 150mm wide. They have one bigger...
