Very nice looking work! I started looking at designs and accumulating parts to build a machine two years ago. I finally built something totally different than I planned over the last couple of months that has a 9x10 cutting area. The fact that yours just took 2 weeks to get finished makes me quite jealous lol.
Thankyou!
My design is proving to be very reliable. I have been cutting different parts out, some small, some larger (9"x9") and some pretty intricate. I think the only thing I'd change is the dremel and maybe some more powerful steppers.
I also ordered a parallel card for my older toshiba laptop, I'm going to try using that to run Mach (it was cheap, and I know it might not work). The computer I have running it now is power challenged and that doesn't play well with Mach.
All in all, I think I was pretty successful in my project.
I plan to take the machine apart and paint the frame and I will document the the rebuild for this thread.
Stay tuned!
I am pretty sure that a portable will not work (the M3 manual talks about this) because of the power saving junk in a portable that you cannot work around. I would be skeptical about a PCMIA (?) parallel card too. Get the real deal.
Anything PC >=1G on the hard rubbish still with parallel port is perfect.
Usually a zero cost item these days.
Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.
Hi all,
I have built many cnc desktop routers using drawer slides.Drawer slides are good alternative to linear slides.A repeat accuracy of 0.1 mm is achievable
Here are some machines i have build and sold .I used drawer slides on all axis.
thanks.
