This project is finished. Yesterday I swapped out the PSU to a more powerful one and released the last part of my video series about it.

The new PSU was necessary...

I forgot to answer to this earlier and not sure you are interested to hear this, but my pedals were connected simply by using a bike brake cable like this:

It was of course as short as...

Very nice looking pedals. Congratulations.

I built my own over 25 years ago, but mine was of course not as nice as yours, even though they worked well. My flying days ended (for real and for...

The ribbon cables you have connected are for the motor. The stepper shield is made for the A4988 stepper drivers, and if you want to replace those drivers with something else then you need to connect...

Cutting aluminium on a table saw is no big deal. I have a Bosch GTS 10 J and with the Bosch blade made for cutting aluminium, it cuts aluminium like butter. Squaring the saw took some effort, but now...

Thank you. So you mean that it works under Linux and/or 0.18 plus the experimental features enabled?

Anyway, my opinion on the 0.17 is that it is made far too complicated compared to 0.16. Simple...

Unfortunately, even FreeCAD 0.17 has some serious limitations regarding the use for CNC designs.

Thanks for the link. It seems that my version is crashing for circular pockets. Tried to find some solution, but nothing seems to work. There also seems to be quite a few "dialects", even if 0.17 is...

I think the idea of sound proofing is good, but I also think that the table is not going to be strong and rigid enough for a CNC and that the rubber wheels will make the whole machine too shaky. My...

I have been using Freecad for almost two years now and I think it is an excellent software, once you get over the top of the steep learning curve. As you say, it isn't the most intuitive software,...

Hi. Good luck with your machine. Unfortunately I don't know how to wire that thing so I can't really help you out.

UCCNC 1.2049 was released. It seems that the problem is fixed by this new release.

I don't know how much interest there is for 3D printers here, but here is my thread about my own design. It is not going to be a proper Build log, since I did not document every step from the start,...

Yes, it is MUCH better than the TB chip based drivers. I use a fake Leadshine, the DQ542MA, and been using those for over two years. They work nice, cool and quiet. Also my speed improved a lot after...

Just an update in case someone is interested...

I bought the above printer, it arrived a few days later, no issues. Installation took a few hours with some help from the Geeetech official...

Give it a try, but expect to break many small bits. In my opinion it is better to go out and buy some good quality 2.5mm spiral drills. Drilling is much faster and 2.5mm is not that expensive or...

Based on my TB6560 experience I will in the future avoid and drivers based on an TB chip. It may be so that you will not notice any issues, but in my opinion you'd be much better off with the DQ542MA...

You can use any BOB with the UC300ETH. Personally I have two of these:

Q1

No, UCCNC is a complete software, you can use it as it is. You can download and install UCCNC and if you don't have a license it will run in demo mode but it will have all the functionality...

Good. At least we know that the mechanics are OK. Now change the pulse width to 10. If that doesn't help KEEP it there and change speed to something really low, like 500. If that is still an issue...

Finally, today I managed to release my new Probe screen, the version 3. The files include a simpler installation procedure than the one before, as well as a modified RUN tab, which is optional, if...

Perhaps you can find some free of charge, but I think it may be difficult. Also, DIY means that you WILL make mistakes, so that should be added to the budget.

Here is a link to a current build...

Nice work Desertboy. I opened skull rcmax.svg and it really is very nice. Yes, some cleaning is still to be done but the OP should be able to do it without much effort. Never tried Incscape but will...
