Yes, I do use DeskCNC to run the machine itself. I've never had any 'problems' with it, but have had some questions about things like 'how do I set it up to do this'. I have to say I have NEVER seen...
I haven't used the machine in about 6-8 months (work keeps getting in my way <grin>).
I have made the following modifications to the machine:
1) I added another side rail below the one that...
I built one of these about a year and a half ago and had no problems. I'd be happy to answer questions or help if I can.

I've been using DeskCNC for over a year now and have NEVER had a major problem with it. It's true ... there have been updates every couple of weeks and the software just gets better and better. The...
Do you have any more detail photos you can share?
I use DeskCNC to do this.

I've been using DeskCNC for a little over a year now. Have had absolutely NO problems with it.
Most reliable piece of software I've purchased.

I am using Bob Cad/Cam V19 and have the latest .003 patch installed.
I am following along in the Version 18 manual trying to learn 3D Skins (pg 60).
Everything goes well until I get to pg. 63...
That did the trick. Thanks
I'm currently using BobCad 19 and am having trouble setting the number of places to the right of the decimal that are being displayed when adding dimensions.
According to page 140 of the version 18...
I just received an email that the latest patch (19.00.003) is out.
I've installed it and am now able to print.
Thanks
I am running Win2000 and trying to print to a Lexmark Z54 printer. I get the following error:
The exception Breakpoint
A breakpoint has been reached.

I agree, cutting MDF creates too much dust to just let it fly. My machine is in the basement. My wife would be looking for a blunt instrument to beat me with if I fill the house with MDF dust.
I...
Here's the picture it was supposed to post.
Here's a shot of the gantry.
Has anyone done mods to the Z lead screw.
Maybe a 1/2" x 10 Acme and/or belt drive.
This will be my next mod. The Z axis is painfully slow compared to the X and Y....
I've also make some mods to kill the dreaded sag. I bolted alum angle to the outside of the side rails and both sides of the inside rail. Then I used elevator bolts (upside down) to allow for...
You'll find the pictures a few threads down under the subject name MTC pictures.

I've posted pictures. If there are others that you would like let me know. I'm in the process of making some changes to the machine and would be able to take more detailed pictures of whatever you...
I haven't ever sat down and figured out what the total cost of this machine was (yes, I'm afraid to add it all up). All of the parts were ordered from the suppliers suggested by MTC and for the most...
This is the back side of the Y axis
I don't have a good shot of the X axis drive.
I'll try to get one when I get time to finish my tweaking.
This is a picture of the Y and Z axis
2 or 3 weeks ago someone asked for more detailed pictures of the MTC machine.
Sorry this took so long.
I'm in the process of tweaking mine and have it somewhat disassembled.
This is a front view...
Guys,
I haven't forgotten you, I've been tied up. I didn't take any pictures during the build process, but I'll try to get some fairly detailed shots as it stands now. I'm hoping to get it done...
Samualt,
I've built the 4' x 8' version. What kind of pictures are you looking for?
