Thank you friends,

I'll keep the breaker in there for what its worth.

I guess what i was looking for from this post was a sanity check. Just wanted to make sure that there are no glaring...

Hey Friends,

I agree most laws here are for the birds, or lining some corporate/ bureaucrats pockets but that's a whole different rabbit hole.

I also will admit that a lot of the electrical...

Hi,

Sorry I didn't elaborate more, its just a 7A breaker just to protect the power supply and in turn protect the drivers and steppers (I think), the max input current of the power supply is 6.2...

Thank you both for the replies. Sorry i haven't had time to work on this in the last few days. I've received the breaker and installed it and i'll upload a photo of the latest revision.

So based...

Amazing, thank you very much.

Just a few follow ups before I start wiring everything up. Should I ground the AC ground to though one of the din rail grounding blocks or go straight to the PSU and...

Thank you for the quick response.

I guess I am having trouble specifying the design load of the machine and ill try my best to explain why, which might be a dumb reason. The cutting head has a...

Hi Friends,

This might not be the right place to post this but it seemed fitting, feel free to move this if necessary.

I am in the middle building a tangential cutter from what once was a...

What concerns me among other things is the drivers they supplied claim to be rated for 3.6V and the drivers have an output from 9-23V, do i need to replace these stepper drivers as well?

Motor...

Hi Friends,

I had this question posed in a different place but i think this one is better suited to get the help i need.

I am in the middle of designing a tangential cutting head for a CNC I...

Just found the "Stepper motors and Drives" topic and i am going to copy and past this question there. Thanks

Hi Friends,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but it seemed close.

I am in the middle of designing a tangential cutting head for a CNC I am building. I plan to have...

Okay I am currently down the rabbit hole, but i think I am converging on a viable option and would like a sanity check.

I am trending towards a dedicated computer setup running linux and Linux...

I appreciate the insight! ill definitely evaluate the many many options.

Hi Craig,

Sorry to revisit this one, but i have been doing some digging and had a maybe dumb question. Other than the obvious reliability concerns could a Pi and a 5 axis BoB work with my...

Hi,

thanks for all your help. I think I'm on the right track now. I am going to do some more investigating but i think ill end up going that route. I do like the servo functionality, I am thinking...

Hi,

thanks for the info, looks like both of those boards are 5V, but the MB3 has a step down buck on board that is 24v tolerance. So i think i could just get a separate buck converter to power the...

Hi,

Thanks for the information, Here is the exact kit that came with my CNC: https://bulkman3d.com/product/mach3-usb-4-axis-uc300-controller-bundle/.

I was under the impression that i needed...

Hi Craig,

Welp, not the news i was hoping to hear, but i appreciate you giving it to me straight. Brutal that i could've bought the kit with just the mechanical components and not the control...

Hi,

No worries at all. Attached are some photos, its currently installed in my electrical box but i can take it out if needed. There are three connectors other than the green terminals, "USB",...

Thanks Craig,

Well i feel lucky that I didnt get much deeper than the setting up axis limit, home directions, and other general stuff in the demo version and didn't really have time to get used to...

Thanks Craig,

Ill have to give it a try. I got so pigeonhole focused on making mach3 work since that's what they prescribed that I totally forgot about mach4.

I just did some googlin'...

Hi friends,

I recently purchased and assembled QueenBee pro from Bulkman and I have it all working properly per their instructions . The queen bee has 1 x motor, 2 y motors, and one z. The videos...

Hi Friends,

I have been lurking on this forum for a few months but this is my first post. A little background, I'm an M.E working as a design engineer now but have had positions that have allowed...
