There are many people who have put an extruder on CNC milling machines there is no problem using Mach 3 there are couple slicing software's that you can set for Mach 3 kisslicer and sli3r. You...
The printer is something of my own creation something I designed and built if you go a few posts down from where this is located you'll see some pictures of the printer
I just printed this yesterday and sprayed some clear lacquer on ithttp://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w631/richard_nelson1/new%203d%20printer%20i%20desiged%20and%20built/IMG_7984_zps99646572.jpg
This is my latest concoction most of the stuff I had laying around ...
Despite all the naysayers it's been months of operation now this little machine is fantastic way stiffer sturdier than I thought. I've made countless parts and piles of chips works flawlessly I...
I would design and build my own their seems to be nothing out there with real high quality industrial components at a reasonable cost here is one that I built and if you Google large scale repstrap...
I would say no you need a lot of strength for cutting. I have designed and built 3-D printer and small CNC Mill lathe and router. The only thing that you be able to cut would be Styrofoam and even...
I have been looking at some electronics packages for 3-D printers and I came across a fairly new one called pibot of course they are out of stock at the moment but the quality looks good and they...
That's really good if that's the only thing you have to do is change the spindle drive. Again keep us informed
Yes
Thank you the turnbuckles were a eBay find $7.50 apiece. The Kapton was also a eBay find and its real 3m it is 16 inches wide got two rolls works unbelievably well even on large prints has to be...
Hear is a printer i built build area is 17" x 14" x 14"I used to be a prototype technician for a large Pro audio company...
Are you happy with it keep us up to date
If you did buy a Bridgeport moving it is a big thing they are very heavy but I definitely would suggest using ballscrews or leave it manual. What you have is okay for a little machine but you're...
Nice job first off I think you mean 20 turn per inch. I think that your motors are turning way too much rpm 270 ounce is a little low on power of motors. Most people that use ballscrews use five turn...
Nice to see it up and running if you could let us know the speeds and feeds and the size and of end mill that you used. I am interested because I'm kind of limited on spindle speed and I am planning...
I'd go ahead and make one if you don't like the results can just take it out. I don't think it's going to give you any troubles cutting the same height off the bed as without it. Obviously the top 2...
Glad to hear you got it all straightened out. Show us some videos of it cutting if you can. I would give Mach 3 another try since it really wasn't the fault of Mach 3. I was going to ask you if you...
[QUOTE=COMachineist;1397488]Hi dick cnc
Thanks for the reply. I kind of thought the same thing. I read some place that by using lower voltage and current would cut down on noise. I think I'll get go...
Obviously you're very qualified I'm sure you have a degree all I'm stating is from my experience. I personally don't know the reason why it works could be resonant frequency or the lack of could be...
I don't think you going to be able to drill and tap the jaws. Unless you found somebody to EDM some holes and braise in some soft plugs
The other people that recently posted are very knowledgeable and experienced. I am just working from experience. It always seemed to me if you went with exactly what was supposed to be for driver and...
I have been using steppers on various machines for the last 30 years. It seems that the calculations of inductance to get voltage will get you close but I found if I always go high on the voltage....
I am not familiar with HSM but have read that a few people have had problems using Mach 3 with HSM setting up the postprocessor. Again if you use the wizards in Mach 3 you'll bypass all of this to...
I personally would in fact I think I may go a little large on the amperage and then maybe eventually change the X and Y drivers to something that would take 70 V. On the 1200 ounce inch I would also...
Just for the heck of it I would try a few of the wizards in Mach 3 actually very useful. In this way rule out any possible problems with your CAD/CAM
What software are you using for CAD and CAM some of the low-budget software does strange things. If you want to check out a circle pocket using the wizard in Mach 3. Make sure you don't have backlash...
Okay so it is a regular ATX pc. Everything should be okay but if you have another old one laying around might just want to plug some software into it and give it a try. I don't think it's mechanical...
Sorry I just noticed what you have is Mac. This disregard my previous post I and I do not know anything about Mac or Apple
