you put it where you want it and then you tell the machine where it is. let me back up a bit....... machines have a home position, which is set...
GRBL supports a minimal subset of Gcode and for the codes it does support it follows the 'standard' as documented by LinuxCNC. You can read...
I would replace that controller and Mach3 with: Blackbox Controller BlackBox Motion Control System power supply 24V Meanwell Power Supply Bundle...
I think you need to tune those closed loop steppers, or calibrate them, or whatever it is that they need. The controller is giving them the same...
GRBL will not feed as low as 5 mm/min, about 50mm/min is the limit. and yes, all feedrates are in mm/minute NOT per second.
for each gcode path, change the material thickness?
So you want to generate Gcode from your own drawings .... OpenBuilds CAM Gcode Creator - Public Beta Alternately Sketchup Make 2016 and the...
when calibrating you should do it over the longest distance possible. ie not over 2" but instead over 40" . and you don't need to change the...
ah, then you can do yourself a favour and 'fake the home'. The convention/rule is that home is at the positive ends of axis travel, which puts it...
@DarkPenguin , the G53 move is there for safety. What exact problem is it causing for you? and there are options for telling it to use an...
and the grub screws are the ones on the motor to leadscrew couplers...
fusion defaults to having 'radial stock to leave' which will leave the hole small so you can do a finishing pass. Here is a whole series of videos...
the bCNC GUI includes the ability to probe and then follow a curved surface. [MEDIA]
Assuming you are using an ordinary PC for control then it does not have any way to read the analog signals from the loadcell. An Arduino can be...
looks like the tool pressure is overpowering the Y axis when the cut is deep. check motor current and all grub screws. make sure that all chips...
on the other hand I say keep GRBL for doing what it does best, control of axes. connect the loadcell to the computer that controls GRBL! simple,...
my first reaction is 'the tool is blunt, use a new one' (-: but it could be that something has worked loose. every machine tool needs adjusting...
Here is code generated from Sketchup with the SketchUcam plugin. This cuts an 8mm hole with a 5mm bit with a 7 degree ramp angle, 5mm deep. Run...
GRBL handles G2/3 just fine, even spirals where Z changes during the arc. as Peter said, IJ format preferred, and arcs smaller than 180 degrees.
You need to make sure that when you jog the machine the tool moves in the correct direction. The directions are X+ moves to the right Y+ moves...
