I always liked watching video's of CNC machines I found online, so i decided to post one of my machine. It's about 2 minutes long I think.
Here's a link to the image if that doesn't work above:
Image of what I machined
Here's the URL/Link for the video download:
Klick's CNC Video ***EDIT** mpeg1 video, only 8MB
The download is 37MegaBytes (**EDIT** mpeg1 video only 8MB now) so hopefully connection doesn't get fried, if it doesn't work just try again later. I have a cable modem with decent upload, but who knows.
I figured I would machine something with my nickname as that would show that it's me, It's pretty crude really, the CAD file was designed in AC3D. AC3D is easy and it runs on linux.
The G-Code was produced by a custom application I wrote, I don't really have any CAM software, and it's easier for me to write a converter then to learn how to use the other ones eheh. The first pass moves on the X axis at 0.10 inches, the next pass goes at 0.05inch increments. The tool is a 1/8" ball nose.
My machine runs linux EMC as you can see, servo motors and geckodrivers. It used to be a hobbycnc.com design, I rebuilt the Z axis block and the gantry section out of lexan and plexiglass.
Total machine time was about 30 minutes, the video was sped up 30times for that part.
Hope everyone is able to view it, you'll need DivX, I tested it in Windows XP Media player, I have divx installed though, you might have to goto divx.com to get the codec, not sure.
Enjoy,
Ross
