Time to fix it properly . . . well my way anyway



https://youtu.be/6ruQvzAwo4s

It's been broken for many years but it should be an easy fix . . .

Thanks for all you do on this forum. Have a great Christmas and a speedy recovery!

Finally finished. We needed to strip down some of the machine to route the wiring, then it was time to upload all the information to GitHub.

I finally get the controller installed . . . after more tinkering!

I've been wanting to do this project for a while. I wondered if it would be possible to build a spindle monitor to check if it has stalled out and then e-stop. Hopefully this would stop it breaking...

It's working! Had a few issues in this one, but I think we got there:

Thanks Lee.

Back to the OP - it was a long time ago but I think I used this VFD on my CNC machine, or something very similar.

So if you know the 2.2 kW motor specs you can set up PD003 - PD008...

OK so it is a sort of pick and place machine with no real loads at the end effector (dispenser end)? And the positioning errors there when you just jog it about with no load on the effector?

I...

XYZ axis complete!

Overall I’m still happy with it. It started to cut off square but this was fixed by retightening the main pivot bolt for the arm. 400 Watts is fine even on very large pieces. It has never...

X axis gantry, cheap linear rails quick look, new Z axis touch off (again!) and Y axis movement.

Thanks. To be honest making the videos helps me stay on track and finish them!

OK, I finally found a well priced and well featured plasma cutter. Here we go again on another CNC project!

This is not the question you asked but for extra security (just as a general step) you can check the resistance across each winding pair before connecting to the driver. Should get a few Ohms across...

Hi,
I'm not fully committed to this, just looking into it for now, but does anyone know of a low cost plasma cutting machine suitable to use with a CNC machine. I think HF start is too risky -...

OK flipped them around for you. Could be well off track here but a small enclosed machine for education makes me think Denford / Denford Microrouter. Maybe rebranded model by...

P1S with AMS (optional multi spool unit) plus one spool of filament was £909 delivered.
Less if you don’t get the AMS but if you buy it later it is considerably more expensive.

At the moment it...

Well, I've finally gone and bought one. I went for the new Bambu Lab P1S with AMS in the end. Seems to have good reviews, and the X1C was considerably more expensive for what seemed like a similar...

That’s great news Lee. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Happy Christmas everyone 🧑*🎄🤪🎄

Thanks I remember you talking about your system a while ago, very impressive. From my research it looks like everyone is different as their needs and use pattern is different so hopefully this will...

A slightly old post but I've recently had requests for the CAD for this piece of track so here it is in IGES format. Most CAD software can read that including Fusion 360.

Last time I used Aliexpress they used an intermediate holding area (escrow?) for my payment and it was only released to the seller when I received it. I’m pretty happy with that. Also if it is Fred...

Brilliant thanks Clive.
I’ve been running spreadsheets on our East West roof and was looking at:
Panels on West only ( East or East and West combinations were not so good)
4 or 6 kWp panels (in...

Here is the followup video showing the updates to the Mini Gcode creator, and how you can download the BETA version of the modules to import into your copy of Excel. You need to extract all 3 files...
