Thank you! That’s what I was looking for. I think I will get the sintered. Rinse thing. What about the disc filter(?) that is after the filter and inline? Is it important? Seems like a secondary...

I am using a water filter canister for a mister to hold the coolant. I am looking for the little filters that go into the coolant reservoir as a debris filter. I cant find any on amazon which is...

The keypad is a 10pin 0.1" header...which is often used for RS232 motherboard connections soooo maybe. However, I am not sure this is in fact RS232. It is not the RJ style that is in the manual....

Hi mactec,

I dont have a RJ connection like you have in the picture. I saw that page in the downloaded manual I have but I think I dont have the model that supports that. The last page of the...

....and...holy cow, that was easy! lol. My code worked the first build. Attached is the output linearly controlled via a simple proportional error control system. I didnt even need the...

Hi guys,

It's not the Huanyang VFD...otherwise I would use the modbus. LinuxCNC does support RS485 modbus now and specifically the Huanyang. My VFD says Huanyang on the enclosure so I was excited...

I have an AskPower VFD in -sheeps clothing- that doesnt support RS485. Hunyang model# on the unit enclosure does :( but it is definitely an AskPower A131 inside. I made a 10v analog-out using PWM...

I can confirm that leading the 3 coolant feeds back to the source but branching the air works fine. The coolant tubes I have are microtubes about 1/8th so they were pretty easy to route. My air...

I was wondering that. I just bought 3 coolant blocks after my last message and decided I would run all 3 coolant lines back to the coolant bottle and would Y the air only. The air is pushing through...

Thanks dharmic, I was thinking the same after I posted. Yes, I have the same setup and they are cheap enough. For a test I did a single Y branch right near the end of the line with about 4 segments...

Hi,

I was planning on branching the Loc-Line mister I have so I can have a tri-nozzle mister. When I took off the nozzle to add a Y I noticed isndie the Loc-Line is a 1/4" tube, and inside that a...

Thanks mactec. I also found your other thread with thecarpenter. I tried to open the connector side of the spindle by removing the 4 screws but I couldnt get the top off. I hope they didnt...

Bought a Chinese VFD and it has only a 3 pin connector (expected). Heard a lot about needing to add a ground connection and people opening up the motor to convert the connector to 4pin. I can't seem...

I figured so after searching but wanted a second opinion. Thanks! :) I will go for a chinese spindle for now from CNCShop on Amazon. Should be better than what I have now and will be a good learning...

An sub-$1500 ATC VFD spindles out there? Or am I just full of wishful thinking. I am looking at one the chinese spindles but they arent ATC able. I am looking to do aluminum, probably around a 2.3 -...

Hi nisma, So you are thinking there should be multiple lasers? I've seen the patent on this by cyberoptics. They say something about improved resolution by cycling the lasers and analyzing the...

Thanks nisma, but can you explain more about what "Watten ND 3.0/4.0 cost times more then alternative solutions." I googled Watten ND gray level filter" but got nothing (except your post...wow...

Here's the CCD element:

Here are the line lasers:
Line Generating Lasers

Can anyone suggest which of those line...

FYI: Here is a a PDF I found with graphics explaining the Laser Aligners. I would be surprised if we couldn't make this today with some cheap parts. A 1D CCD array, a laser pointer thingy with a lens...

It seems this project is dead, unfortunately.

I have a PnP machine that I bought. I'd kick in all sorts of pictures, explanations, details on how it is made just to see this project work. Some...

Take a look at this link. I wondered how those telescoping protection bellows worked. Perhaps something simple and cheap can be worked out with metal sheet and Popsicle sticks?!?

GLADIATOR

I saw this project on kickstarter and pledged. Not going so great though so I thought I would try to help get the word out. I thought some of you here would be interested.

I'm just a pledger, no...

One more thing to note, you should put some appropriate filters and lighting on the camera. Both my down-facing and up-facing camera only pick up shiny gold/copper/tin pins and non-masked pads. Even...

I started modifying my CNC machine to do PnP, but I just ran out of time, bit the bullet and bought a used machine. It's 10 years old but the software is quite good, I cant complain, just not...

I'm not exactly sure what he is using, but that right B&W image is a high-pass version of the left one, high-pass gives basically gives you an edge detection image. I think I have seen this before,...

Nice! I never saw that before. (It's about time!)

I was in solidcam today, so I thought I would post some of my pics. First shot is of the feature tree, notice I am not in the solidcam tab, but the Feature Manager one. The SolidCAM assembly contains...

Glad to hear! Your pics look right. When you switch to doing it in SolidCAM it is the same process, except you are adding it to the SolidCAM assembly that is created when you first create the...

I did figure it out. It's basically a Solidworks solution. I'll start off with the simplest method, then I will describe how you can do it while working in Solidcam. So....

Method 1:
Simply make...

Reviving an old thread here but, after you create the tabs in the CAM part....how do you machine around them using simple Profile operation? If I am selecting/creating a profile around the actual...
