      I know right, this makes me want to put my MPCNC back together (though I think I will need to do some upgrades ie: looks like OP has larger belts, and possibly bigger steppers than I used).

      @@brandonsmoot4056 Actually, I did. Cut some wood and plexi and made a clock. Then, wanting to cut aluminum, I started to add a compressed air/dust collection system but life intervened and I didn’t get back to it for months. Coincident with your comment, I just finished the new hardware last night and it seems to work. The air blows and the vacuum sucks, at least. However, to really test it I need to relearn the software because it’s been months since I touched that side of things. Hopefully, I’ll be cutting again soon (and fight the urge to rebuild the whole thing with the new primo parts).

    Reminds of my first 3d printer, a prusa clone, a wooden frame of 6mm plywood. After many months of tweaking I got a single perfect print. Then it got out of alignment again and gave up. Got a corexy now of my own design and without much tweaking just prints excellent prints every time.
    You must've spent many days adjusting and experimenting to get it to this level, better than my ox cnc build. That has now been replaced with a much more rigid design of my own using linear rails bought from aliexpress with some reinforcements here and there, with 20mm thick aluminium tooling plates and steel tubing.
    Incredible results anyway you slice it!

    That is good accuracy for 6mm belts and NEMA17's. I happen to have at least a dozen of older NEMA 17's I bought from ebay quite a while ago, maybe I can finally put them to use on a lowrider 2 version I'm designing. I like the concept, but I see room for immediate improvement.

  • @tommyers7634
    @tommyers7634 7 месяцев назад

    An often overlooked measurement that can affect your CAM accuracy is the diameter of the bit(s) being used. If the actual diameter is different (usually smaller) than the nominal diameter, using the nominal introduces inaccuracies into your CAM.
