StrikeCNC Machine - My Retrofit

[JAZZCNC]

Loving the speed and ease of the CNC. Got done in a week what would normally take a couple of months!

Now I just need a CNC spraying machine hmmm...

We can do that easy.? Strap aerosol to Z axis program criss cross pattern in G-code stab hole in the can shut the doors and hit cycle start. . .Lol

Seriously thou I reckon thats easy done with a few modified touch up guns fastened to Z axis over lapping each other and air controlled by servo valves. Bit of playing with feed rates and patterns in G-code and you'd get a decent finish. Make a right mess of the Perspex thou Ant. .

Now there's some hours on the machine and things are bedding in I decided to spend the day stripping down and removing all the ballscrews and nuts carefully putting them back together getting everything tight and aligned as possible. There's virtually no bind anywhere now and it shows in the speeds and acceleration it can achieve. Those Leadshine AM882 are awesome! I could have gone past 16.5m/min but Mach was limited by my max 45k PP speed so I went and whacked the acceleration all the way up to 4000mm/sec^2 instead lol

Ps. Don't run at these speeds or accel as its overkill but its nice to see the effort from careful setup confirmed with a speed increase. I run at 10m rapids and 5m on the Z. That's more than enough for me but its nice to know there's lots of head room there.

Not mine motoxy, wish they were though! For a guy in hong kong where I guess they have room for this sort of thing.

I'm imagining a guy sitting in a one room shack with these things pointing directly at him :) I can't afford a private toilet but I've got speakers I can hear from the public one!
