Hi mate,

That error is almost certainly coming from the probing plugin, not the probe hardware itself.



Is a classic VB script missing component type error in Mach3 after a fresh reinstall...

Aliexpress/Alibaba is probably your best bet to get an idea of what the potential options are.
Aliexpress is generally full of resellers, but some searching of Alibaba usually reveals the real...

Andy, I'm sorry to see you are having these troubles and my only advice is to send it back under your statutory rights if possible. The machine is clearly unsafe so he hasn't got a leg to stand on.

I doubt it's the spindle at fault unless your settings are wrong, if not I'd look more to the machine and chatter, etc for the noise. Denford router is a lot stiffer than that machine.

I know...

Andy speeds n feeds are difficult to advise because of lots of variables come into play and nearly all the calculators are based on much Stiffer machines with much higher Spindle power than what you...

Join, read and follow the FaceBook Skyfire Owners Groups before making a decision.
Factory support and even communication seems to be less than it should be.

Speak to Komatias on here (aka Emvio Engineering - emvioeng.com), as he was officially importing them, although there are currently no machines listed on his website, and he is now importing Syil...

Sorry, should spend more time replying. As above, Procut will be able to help and they are in Southend / Shoeburyness Essex. I would help if I could but my router is only 1000mm x 700mm.

referring to similar as that combo but for 180$ , bought directly from JMC motion.

There are, but gearing is the problem.
Stock steppers are 1.1Nm stall, with a gearing ratio of 12:30, giving roughly 2.75Nm at the screw.

A 50W 3000rpm servo, which from Kinco is 83mm long...

The manual toolchange VMCs have no pneumatics, instead you get a big lever on the side of the head for releasing the tool. I'm assuming underneath the cover, it's the same spindle/drawbar/spring...

Please note that I still don't have my high speed spindle installed om my machine, and my current spindle is maxing at 9000RPM, so perhaps if you spin your V-bits fast enough you can increase feed...

I use V-bits to engrave, but when I am milling acrylic I am using single flute bits. Feed rate depends on the type and diameter of the mill bit and the DOC. My current crappy DC motor I have as...

The little bit of acrylic that I have done was using a lot higher feed rate than 300mm/min so I would do some tests at say 2-3 mtr/min. There are people on here that do cut that stuff though and...

The typically 24,000 rpm chinese spindles are not suitable for use on a mill, and won't last long.

AliExpress has a lot of BT30 ATC spindles.

You'll probably find the item you linked to has been laser cut, which will avoid any MDF furring issues, then given a coat of some form of fast drying paint to minimise absorption. It will also...

I was thinking of things like Delrin, acrylic, nylon. There are a few different engineering plastics that might fit the bill. I didn't really specify one as I don't know your other criteria like...

The type of finish you are after is attainable but only with considerable time and money. Normal household paints or automotive rattle cans just do not cut it. Only one way I have found to get a...

If it was me I would spray the finish, dulux undercoat with dulux liquid gloss for the top coat. Thin them both down enough that they pass well through your spray system but also coat the job well,...

The reasonably fine "engraved" features will tend to fill up with anything that might help cover rough surfaces.
The example you asked about has no fine surface detail, most likely for this reason....

I use Vectric VCarve which does a good job of v-carve toolpaths, and is aimed at woodworkers rather than engineers. It ain't cheap, though. Vectric offer a free trial copy, although as far as I...

V-Carve paths are 3D and lift the V Bit at the corners to give straight lines/accurate curves right up to any sharp corners,

Looking good Andy!
