Hi Omrabder,
In order to change the motor from a C-type to a P-type, send the motor the following commands in the following order:


W=526
K16=0
|4

After that last command, the motor should...

Hi,
I placed both rails and ball-screws on the backside of the gantry for two reasons:
1. As you mention, to keep the spindle as close as possible to the gantry.
2. To keep the screw and rails...

Hi Metiz,

looking at your design I think that 40 X 40 mm T slot profile supporting your lineair rails for your Y axis is a little bit flimsy.
These parts are actually carrying your X,Y and the Z...

Hi Metiz,
Thanks for the compliments.
The gantry risers are connected underneath because I use a single ball screw to drive the Y axis.
The angle of the risers is because I wanted the tool to be...

Wow Metiz, that are a bunch of really great questions that also confront me.

1, "Posting a picture", easy but you could also look at my previous posts, there's a picture or two.
2. "Share some...

That is about the same travel as my machine (475X665X100).
I am also from the Netherlands (I don't have a clue how to edit my profile to show my location :confused: ...,it must be age).
However,...

Hey Metiz,
I have been following this tread with interest.

I have a question, what are your X-Y-Z travel dimensions?

Rob.

Hi,

Hello Robobass,

At this very moment I am replacing my table base and spoil-board with HDPE, it is easy to machine and water and coolant fluid resistant.
I have also integrated a 100 X 100mm M6...

Thank you all for your nice comments,



This machine uses Cool-Muscle integrated servo's, witch are actually a kind of smart steppers.
I don't understand why nobody uses them, u can find the...

Hello all,

I am working with fixtures a lot and have found that the inductive sensors I use give a lot of variance, about +/- 0.05 mm ( about 2 thousands of an Inch ).

So I came up with the...

Hi Vega2K,
So you are actually building something like this?

You stole my design!:nono:
Just kidding, I have found that Attaching 15mm linear rail on the Y axis to an extrusion is not...

Problem solved!

Ger has send me a new macro and everything is fine:)

I use the circular probing wizard for referencing my machine to a hole in my fixed touch off plate, the X and Y offset is...

Hello Ger,

I have started to experiment with the probing wizard and have a question.

With probe X-Y offset set to a value and auto zero coordinates selected, shouldn't the coordinates go to the...

Thanks for your kind words John,
I have used the booth for the first time today for resurfacing my spoilboard:rolleyes:
Works great, I'm very happy:)

Hi,

I have a 1.5 Kw water cooled spindle and had already bought a small radiator with fans normally used for computer CPU water cooling.
I didn't have a pump jet so I went to gardening store and...

Hello all,

I have just completed the second version of my dusts boot.

The first version was supported from behind (see first picture), after I raised the spindle to get more Z height it...

Hi,
It looks like you have rack and pinion on only one side of the Y axis.
If that is true I am afraid cutting square with this machine is not possible.

Hi Chris,
Looking at your mechanical components (rails and screws) you have the perfect basis for building a beefy aluminium machine.
I am not sure if bigger steppers are needed, if everything is...

Hi Chris,

I guess that your problem has to do with alignment, try to rotate the ball screw and feel how much force is needed to do so.
Now loosen the screws holding your rails and ball nut and...

The Title of this (old) tread sounds promising.
I would have expected something like this:

Or this:260976

What do you think?
does it look better?
