From where do you get your endmills? They seem to be good.

I like your project, many hours of hard work has paid off!

Thank you for the replies! Gonna ask my local Optimum distributor quote for 1100w and 1500w 220v motors, I hope these put out same RPMs.

Hoss, I can't find the information about the max RPM's you got with both Nordic and 1.1KW Weiss motor. Could you please tell them?

KX3 has got nice telescopic covers on Y-axis, anybody knows how long are they when open?

Kenny, I've also got Opti BF20l and right now I can hold about 0.001 inches on both axises on a 2 inch circle without using backlash comp. How do you measure backlash? I think I might get even better...

I have got one of those aluminium controller boxes and I have to say that mine is a real rubbish, I doubt that others are better.
* Construction is very bad: holes doesn't match, paint is scratched...

Hoss, some time ago you printed covers for 570oz steppers, do you still make them? I'm interested in a set of 3 for my BF20 because I'm going to use flood and need to make things waterproof.

I posted the solution in the previous post but if you wanted to know how the first parts were, then they were great. Everything went as expected, I have to do some calibrating and stuff but the...

Recordingwhiz, the problem was still in those C34 boards and their connection. I soldered wire to each pin of the C34's and then connected to the driver and everything started working. I will run my...

Thanks recordingwhiz, I will try these steps in the weekend.

Sorry for not replying, I tried changing these dir and step low settings but nothing changed. Also the motor settings you are referring to are correct, I double checked with other configurations from...

I had today more time to mess with the electronics but I can't seem to find those cw/ccw settings, could you look up where they exactly are?

Z-axis works with every setup (I changed c34 boards,...

It looks so good, makes me want to throw my bf20 out and get this instead! Any info about the weight and pricing?

Could you give more information about the company that is offering these spindles? Also more info on price, specs? The BT30 belt drive option seems to be optimal replacing my current MT2 setup which...

By forward I mean all the directions that you can push it to:rolleyes: Just wiggle them and hold the jogging button down and see if it starts moving.

Are you also using C34KLD boards for easy connecting RJ45 cables? Well on my setup they weren't making good connection with 5056D and I had to adjust them to a weird angle to get everything working...

You directed me to the right path - C34 and the terminal where it is pushed didn't make very good contact and I accidentaly pushed one C34 forward and one motor started working. Then I pushed all the...

I did that, I should have put the minus in parentheses to make it more clear for you, my bad.

I'm pretty sure that Mach3 settings are fine. All the axises work with that one driver, i have swapped...

recordingwhiz, tried your suggestion to disconnect enable - but with no luck.

oops, something went wrong, double post :(

Could you explain a bit more? Not sure what you're suggesting.

Hello!

I completed wiring my controller (5056D, 570 motors, c32, c38, ESS) according to this scheme: http://cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/CS4EA4-1.pdf
Now when i’m trying to move motors only one driver...

Great job! I really enjoy watching your videos.

Isn't that polycarbonate box going to limit your space? How does the polycarbonate like chips, gets scratched easily? I've been thinking about...

Hoss, isn't that going to be too hard on the ballscrews? Usually they use somekinda belt system because the "mileage" is quite big.

When wiring cnc electronics, is there the same problem as when building computers that the static electricity can kill everything?

Also I've seen that some guys lay down their electronics on the...

Hello!:wave:


I've been watching this forum for about a year now and last November got myself Optimum BF20L. First did some parts for my RC models and then started CNC conversion. Now I have got...

Your chip pan looks very good, is it ready or you are going to build somekinda doors, windows etc on it? how are you going to get the chips out of it?

But do you also think that wood is weak for the job?

I thought getting one from indiegogo.

Hoss,

What do you think is better: Rostock Delta with acrylic parts or wood parts? Also, is there a big difference between RAMBo boards and ramps 1.4?

I planned converting BF20 at first but...

Rock you talking about me?
If so then I have already planned to go that road.
