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.

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...

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... -

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

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: 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...
