That's the $64000 question isn't it.

I built a 70v PSU which means if I change my drivers they would have to be in that range or I need a new transformer.

I've bought a fair chuck of rail and carriages now and just my own personal experience.

Clone rail is fine

The electronics box I got out the skip had a steel plate in it so I used that, the box is made of GRP.

Good job, I bookmarked this vid for when I have a go.

Good find

Use the 66" for the Y axis sell the 48" and get 20mm HGR20 (Hiwin style) rail for the gantry and the Z axis is my vote ;)

Camel toe.......


Sorry couldn't resist ;)

I know on the AM882 when you kill power the LED's flash for ~3-4 seconds extra then when you test the capacitors they drop to a few volts. Same with the VFD so I assume that has a load of capacitors...

Discard the last 20% of water and the issue is slight but just using a higher pressure pump will give you much better efficiencies even without recirculation.

Can't you just run the Y axis step and dir to 2 stepper drivers?

Sure there's no dual homing but with AM882's once it's square the stall protect will tell if you if it's out of square although...

UC have a USB or ethernet solution, Jazz was comparing using a PC with PP for step generation. UC cards are step generators. It gets confusing because like me nr1madman is using a cheap PP BOB to...

Test your input before buying a coil

220-240v you want ~50v output before rectified.
240v-260v (I get 252v's in which is very high) get a 45v this will give you ~70v when rectified to DC.

No problem at all I have 1 AM882 and 3 AM882h the only differences are the h are rated for AC and also for a slightly higher input voltage (100vdc instead of 80vdc)

feed them ~70v dc and they...
