Hi Mr Monkey Sorry I did not reply, As u can see from my other posts I milled the cheap Chinese table I bought with a 1 inch...

Like that thinking! What make and model 3D printer are you using? The large dimension box section you've used for the base frame is great but I...

Can't see anything printed on the board. Tell you what, though, I've made some kinda progress this evening. After a bit of research aided by...

And, just to prove I haven't been completely slacking off since last year - some progress photos! Large steel delivery (about three...

I didn't know about the no load voltage rise. Thanks for the detailed reply.

Think that's This Old Tony that uses a hardened steel ball under the screw to create a "single point" of contact and increase the pressure on the...

Hi guys! I am confused and have a few quick questions about uccnc vs fusion360. Do i need to put my router bits in the tools library in both...

Okay, so its been approximately a year. I suppose I'd better post an update or two! First things first, current drawings: I mulled...

I would of thought a ribbed design would be better for the main section. That way you could get a reasonably nice L/Boomerang type shape going from...

I'd probably go for the 1100oz-in steppers, as the lower inductance should give better performance. 50V may end up a bit too close to max voltage....

It all depends what features you'd like. Cheapest option is likely LinuxCNC with a suitable PC and running via the parallel port. Failing...

Yes, if needed it could be resin filled in the riser section maybe?. Its a crap-shoot i guess - was thinking 12mm plate, welded into box style...

Most things are doable given enough time and money. My biggest concern with swapping that much cast with steel, would be resonance, however given...

The only things I recognise is the Boxford power supply and the gemini controller, and maybe that 10.1 disco light is a voltage controller. The...

Right-oh. I hear you. I dropped the back off the machine and it's packed PACKED with electronics. Lots of leds lit up, a Gemini controller, boards...

I've been checking out the machine some more. Mainly tramming today. I found that it was out a little. Adjusting the spindle mount to get it...

In my case the actual value of the goods was well below the £18 limit that customs allow before charging duty and VAT (and then Royal Mail fees). I...

Indeed we've all done pretty well. I'm only concerned about a couple of bigger ticket items on route. Fingers crossed. So just so i'm clear the...

Customs and Excise do state that they will charge duty based on their assessment of the value of goods, regardless of declared purchase price. Most...

Looks like UK stock ones from ebay surprising cheap at £18 each so probably just take your advice and inform the seller and left the goods to go back...

I had a similar issue with 10 electrical sockets. Well under the £18 limit, but customs decided they were worth more and slapped on duty. Then with...

That looks nice Is there any movement on the price?
