I'm getting a secondhand Hictop 3DP-11 ready to use and have noticed that Cura 4.7 includes no ready made profiles for any of the fairly large number of models of Hictop printers. The 3DP-11, 12, and...
Should be a very nice mill with keeping the servo motors. The 100 pound working load makes these old blues the superior benchtop CNC mill.
Would love to see a build thread on this forum.
You 100% cannot run the DOS software for this in any kind of emulation. It has to have exclusive access to the serial port connected to the mill. Any interruption in the software's contact with the...
If the Animatics box is fried but the XYZ servo motors and spindle motor controller are good I think it'd be easier to retrofit a Pico Systems Universal PWM Servo Controller and servo amps. The...
Send me an email to g_alan_e at yahoo and I'll send you a bunch of technical documentation and software for the Animatics servo controller used in most of the Prolight 2000 mills. A person at Moog...
Since I bought a Monoprice Select Mini 3D printer, my custom build hasn't gone anywhere. Thus I have the Arduino and RAMPS etc available for other uses.
I picked up a Unimat SL1000 lathe and am...

Hopefully someone can use that information to add support to Linux CNC
I'd still like to see this able to mirror image G-Code, while keeping the same movement direction so regular milling doesn't switch to climb milling, or visa-versa.
Is yours a 1000 or a 2000? Mine is a 2000. The DOS software *may* work under windows 9x. It will not work properly with Windows XP because XP constantly seizes control of the serial ports which...
I got the software and technical info from Moog Animatics for the Animatics servo controllers used in the ProLight 2000. Software is all DOS of course, but with it the controller can be configured...
Technifor sent me PDF manuals, which they don't have on their website - but so far they won't tel me anything about software or what kind of keyboard it uses. The keyboard port is not a Mini DIN PS/2...
Looks like a 2-axis CNC machine with an air powered stylus, the whole works of it can move up and down a tall column with a hand crank. Plug it in, flip the power switch and the LCD lights up with...
It's a small yet very heavy, 3 axis CNC machine. Label says it's a Kaba-keycut, BK01.08.041 made 22.05.1995
The spindle takes ER16 collets and behind the spindle is either a Z axis height probe or...
I have a GS Electric B4PCM-072T 110V DC permanent magnet treadmill motor. 5100 RPM, claims to be 1.5 HP. Already have it mounted on a lathe.
What's available in PWM controllers today, at an...
Huge thanks to Chuck Searcy at Moog Animatics (he worked at Animatics before the buyout) for digging through some old backups and finding this trove of technical and programming information and...
Got the 44XL pulley for $7.20, free shipping, and with 10mm bore I won't have to change that....
I did some digging around and found I have a 13XL and a 22XL pulley. The 22XL already has a 3/8" bore that will go right onto the motor. I can use the 13XL as an adjuster idler and only have to buy a...
For the leadscrew drive on my lathe I have a 77mm center distance on the shafts with very little adjustment. If need be I can make an idler to push in on the belt, so it needs to be a type that...
Interesting tool changer turret. I bought a couple of those Rino Ondrives right angle stepper drives when they were cheap on eBay. I intend for one to be used driving a turret on a 9x20 lathe CNC...
Old thread, but the PLM2000 connects via a single RS232 cable to a PC and its software runs in DOS. There is no license code or key or dongle. It will NOT work with any version of windows newer than...
ProLight has an R8 spindle. F1 has a BT30 spindle. I don't know if it has the counterbore to accept NMTB30 tooling.
The ProLight had a 5000 or 10000 RPM spindle option on the stepper motor PLM1000...
I spent some time digging in archive.org and found this Series 5000 Servo Control Descriptions Some pinouts and a bit of technical info that may be of use in getting an old ProLight 2000 running with...
I have a control similar to this one. 306580 Connected to a 100~110 volt DC treadmill motor. The specs claimed up to 150 volt but I took that with a grain of salt. Probably should've been an economy...
A Raspberry Pi Zero used as a video card. Pi Zero Video Card Via Bare Metal Programming | Hackaday
Interfacing it to the BBB and of course adding support to MachineKit would be required, but the...
A 2 to 5 HP motor with a hollow shaft that has a large bore would make for a very compact lathe headstock, especially if coupled to at least a 2 stage, shiftable planetary gearbox coaxial with the...
Is there such a thing as an angular contact ball bearing with a 0.25" inside diameter, with a flange or snap ring groove? OD doesn't matter, but I want the flange or groove on the thrust side of the...
I have a 6 in, 6 out Entertron Smart-Pak PLC. Only the ins, outs and the scan LED are labeled. The other two connectors, I assume are for power and RS-232, not labeled. The only other markings on the...
