  1. BUILD LOG: Re: New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

    Yes, you need 2 hubs and one disc for each screw/motor. Actually you could also make those on your machine, which could save you the costs. I think they are pretty easy to make.
  2. Re: Please can someone help me with my 1610 mini desktop cnc

    Yes, using it for learning is perfectly fine. Testing a concept, demonstration, air milling, see how it moves, how it is controlled, test g-codes and so on. Perhaps it can be used for some simple...

    NEW MEMBER: Re: Hello, here is my new machine

    You can't buy that one, as I said earlier.

    1.) That one is a 65mm diameter and you have a 52mm diameter holder. Your Z is far too weak and small for that one, in my opinion it is not worth the...
  5. Re: Do you know a similar cnc machina sold in EUROPE? Piranha Fx

    60x20 extrusions... that is for 3D printer, not for a CNC. I would definitely not call that "Mini Muscle". Mini is right, but where is the "muscle"? Also that Z is, even if it uses ball screw, it is...

    Re: 3 axis ballscrew and rail kits on ebay

    I was just curious. I don't need the items, but never the less, I'd NEVER buy anything from a seller who only has a 97.7% score.

    That's not just disadvantage... it can be an advantage as well since you won't have issues with backlash. The way I see it is that the only disadvantage direct drive has is the maximum speed...

    Re: Secure my employees details

    OK, I think you are on the wrong forum... This forum is not about data security.

    However, I assume you are not starting a HUGE business so why keep everything in cloud and not locally? What is the...
  10. BUILD LOG: Re: El Beast - Initial design phase, comments and critique welcomed!

    I think your design is better than this one, in this one the Y rails are not optimally placed, would be better on the side or under the table.

    Re: UC300 Ethernet

    In my opinion no difference at all. That is, unless you have super fast, very expensive drivers. My drivers (DQ542MA) can handle up to 200kHz. They can be used with 400kHz as well but because that's...

    Re: Wiring Huanyang HY02D223B

    It is not normal that it trips the RCD. If it does then something is wrong but at the same time tripping the RCD means the VFD may still be OK and not burned. Maybe it is easily repaired perhaps just...

    Re: Wiring Huanyang HY02D223B

    You can indeed connect L to R, S or T and N to one of the other two. That would NOT burn up the VFD, that is the normal way of connecting it. But it assumes that you have a VFD which is for Europe,...

    Re: Electrical schematics drawing software

    I am using Eagle. It's free, but the free version has limitations. Never the less, the limitations are pretty generous, so it can be used for board sizes up to 80x100mm. I use it also to generate PCB...

    Re: Mach3 plugin is now available for the UC300ETH

    That is partially incorrect. The UC300, just like the UC400, only accepts 5V input levels and can only be fed by 5VDC. The UC300 has 12V outputs, as well as 0-10V, but the voltages are generated...

    Re: Mach3 plugin is now available for the UC300ETH

    Hi Lee,
    The biggest differences are in the number of inputs/outputs. The UC400ETH has 2 standard parallel ports (LPT type) while the UC300ETH has 2 LPT type and 3 DB25 with mostly inputs and...
