Many thanks, she is one of two, Thing One and Thing Two named from the Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat. Their mother claimed my workshop as her home and gave me kittens lol. This one is very affectionate and after seeing yours I knew you would like to see her.

No, I should have waited until the 3 minute shorts rolled out to go more into that. Case in point for this was like my DaVinci Duo 3D printer which REQUIRED you to use their software as well as their cassette system for filament, it wasn't until about a year or two after it was released that work arounds for the software and cassette issue were found out and shared. I still use that printer to this day, but that's a prime example of getting stuck with proprietary software.

It has to do with the firmware, I used gSender ( free ) from here: sienci.com/gsender/ and although I haven't tried the offline controller, I was able to make my first cut with gSender. You also have the options of flashing the firmware from within gSender which makes it a lot easier. My machine was a paperweight until I started looking at it more like a 3D printer and then I was able to work through the problems. Now I don't even use the probe and I make nice cuts with very few problems ( I'm still learning how to make paths and stuff using Inkscape, also free ).

That's not a bad idea... I'm sort of a nerdy type so 3D printers and now CNC are right up my alley. I'll see what I can put together for ya'll :)

Yeah it was definitely like putting together an old 80's model stereo rack lol !!! Something inside my black box died and Vevor is sending me a whole new machine, thinking of combining the two frames to make one big machine. Thanks for watching !!!

Awesome and thanks for the sub, my CNC died last week or so but Vevor has sent a new one to me that will be here tomorrow so I'll be getting right back into the swing of things with the CNC... so many ideas and plans I want to use it for lol. I can use a scroll saw just fine but damn, why bother when the CNC can do all the work.

@@theidlehandsworkshop3884 Sorry to hear your CNC died, but good to hear Vevor is sending a replacement. I finished the Y-Axis shields and now the belts, roller, and pulleys are protected from dust and particles. Maybe I should upload the STLs for others to print.

@@Rogerquin I'm sure it would be appreciated by many people !!! I'm looking to move my black box well away from the machine or under the cart it's on to protect it from dust and stuff. Still confuses me what happened to it but it just quit working. Once the new one gets here I'll also be considering whether or not to merge the two frames together for one super CNC lol.

@@theidlehandsworkshop3884 I've made the STLs for the Y-axis covers available but I don't think I can post a link in my reply.

@@Rogerquin you can email the link if you want and I will add it if you can't. stephen@idlehandsworkshop.info

It goes through plywood just fine, in my shorts is a piece I cut out with this machine over the weekend. That was 1/4" and I've cut some other things out of 1/2" with no problems either.

@@theidlehandsworkshop3884 Fantastic! Thank you for the reply! I will check out the shorts!

I downloaded Candle 1.2.15b_x64 from Github for starters, there was an older version on the flash drive that came with my machine and was part of the problem. After that I needed to learn how to turn images into gCode so I found something easy and free in this video here from Mr Innovative: ruclips.net/video/bbe56S_O-uI/видео.html those instructions work out well but if you use the latest version on Inkscape you have to go a different route to get the program to export the gCode but it does still work and as I mentioned I plan to do a short video on that when I have some free time. So with the latest version of Candle and my gCode made from Inkscape, I took my laptop out to the shop, hooked it to the machine, connected it, made sure the drivers installed properly which they did and the default settings worked perfectly. I used the first part of this video here from FoxAlien: ruclips.net/video/3CxX6W2Vp10/видео.html to setup for my first run. I didn't use Easel as I already had my gCode from Inkscape. But as you can see, he doesn't use the Z-probe but takes a 3D-Printer approach to setting up the Z-axis which is what got my head right on this because it basically functions exactly like a 3D printer in how it moves and such. Hopefully that helps get you in the right direction, I am off work these next couple of days kind of ( new job and have training to do at home ) so I will try to piece something together because I do have a project I want to spotlight using the CNC and Inkscape so it would be the perfect chance to do a quick tutorial on this.

:P

Ja, bitte kontaktieren Sie mich unter: stephen@idlehandsworkshop.info

Thanks, it works great even with the Anvil just sitting on it and not bolted down

Getting to start making more so make sure you turn the bell on

A lot of it comes down to the measurements. On my website I've listed the various planes and thier measurements in the resource section. Many eclipse planes usually had a sticker on the grip that obviously would not have held up to the tests of use and time.

Many thanks, I love to cook but never have enough time.

He's my baby that's for sure... He just didn't want to wake up for this video or the one I shot later that day which will go up in a few days

I learned a long time ago in the Army... if you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin' and that's how I came up with the clamp solution. Go way outside the box, or just kick the box aside altogether lol
