  1. Ideas on adding rigidity to an 80x160 extruded aluminum gantry

    I've gotten to the part of my machine build where I just finished the Z-axis and am working on the gantry. I would like to hear ideas about adding rigidity to the 80x160mm extrusion that's used for...

    That would chop the single long 80x160 main horizontal beams that runs the length of the machine into four smaller sections requiring fasteners there which would compromise the strength – just in a...
  3. Re: New machine build based on DamenCNC and RoboCNC designs...

    Ah - it's an interesting idea. The one thing you can't see is actually the 400 Item24 automatic fasteners on the ends of the pieces of aluminum holding everything together. The gussets and joining...

    Good to know, David. I spent some time on the phone with one of their support members today, and got the feeling that I would be able to get the support I need. I might not need the rapids, but on a...

    Thank you Joe - you've made your point, and I appreciate it.
  6. Re: New machine build based on DamenCNC and RoboCNC designs...

    So I spoke with Ian at Teknic today, and after giving him all of the specs for my build he was able to run a simulator on it. To my surprise, he suggested one of their smaller Nema 34 servos. I had...

    I ran across those videos - looks like he has quite a bit of good content on the Acorn - and I saw his video specifically on the DMM today.
  8. Re: New machine build based on DamenCNC and RoboCNC designs...

    Most of that is way above my head, but you're obviously passionate about DMM – I'll take a look. I'm not sure how much the encoder feedback channel matters if I'm using a Centroid Acorn, as it sounds...
  9. Re: New machine build based on DamenCNC and RoboCNC designs...

    I'm going to speaking with Ian from Clearpath on Monday. We had started an email correspondence on Friday, but ran out of time. I'm at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to the advanced...
  10. Re: New machine build based on DamenCNC and RoboCNC designs...

    Great advice - thank you! I haven't spared any cost so far, and keep looking for places that I'm willing to, but as soon as I start working on something, I think "well, for just a little more money,...

  12. New machine build based on DamenCNC and RoboCNC designs...

    Greetings all!

    I am about a month into the design of a new CNC machine as my winter project. I didn't know anything about CNCs a month ago really, but being able to do research 8 hours a day for...
  13. Purchasing a Thunder Laser vs G. Weike Laser or other

    I'm trying to decide between purchasing a Thunder Laser vs a G. Weike or other laser in terms of price. I'm looking at the 54 x 36 version or similar. The Thunder Laser price includes everything...
  14. Re: What is the best type of CNC to cut a leather hide into patterns? Laser? spindle?

    Hi - I have seen videos of the drag knifes, but can't actually find manufacturers of them.
  15. What is the best type of CNC to cut a leather hide into patterns? Laser? spindle?

    I'm starting a new business of handsewn leather goods. After cutting leather by hand for years, I'm trying to figure out what people are using to cut leather using a CNC. I had thought laser, but...

    I've been looking at water jet and laser to use to cut down leather to patterns, but am now reading...
