I would guess that it’s faulty straight out of the box…generally when a motor bounces around like that, it’s because something isn’t balanced right.
I’m not sure if I read right, but does this happen solely if something is on the x axis? or is it just that single motor doing it regardless of what axis it’s hooked up to? if it’s the former, it something you’ve got coded up right, latter..definitely broke out of the box.
Or I’m completely wrong, who knows.
If you ARE going to get a seperate video card, make sure that you get one that’s going to be relatively compatible with whatever linux you plan on installing on it and run emc2 on afterwards, it’s entirely pointless if your card isn’t supported to begin with.
That has an intel 900, which isn’t exactly the worst integrated video card out there, assuming you’re using a relatively newish macbook. you probably have a 950 on it to begin with.
for a price tag of only 150$ I would go out and buy yourself a 100$ video card, if the 900 can’t handle it. then you still have only spent mere dollars compared to what you could spend.
Tuxcnc is an option and if you have some patience you can compile emc2 from source to your mac.
At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be a darwin port made up already.
Bill, there are thousands of usb to parallel adapters…However, I’m not entirely sure if it’s fast enough though.
Some merchants offer it as a more secure method, so instead of you paying them directly with your credit card, you’re paying through the trustedness of paypal, it’s ‘safer’ for you. But only if you don’t trust hobbycnc pro to be selling you what you think they actually are.
I’ve been using paypal for years to sell products. You can offer many different payment methods. In that situation, paypal is just a middleman.
Suck up your bollucks, and just do it, or buy it from somewhere else.
Nazerine, I’m just posting the quotes i’ve been receiving from local companies. I *really* don’t want to spend that kind of cash on just the gantry cut outs. Maybe someone else is willing. By 80/20 are you talking about the industrial erector steel fabs? Or is that another free cnc machine design?
If you happen to know a cheaper place to get steel plate fab’d out, please let me know, near all the quotes i’m getting are over a thousand.
Darrel, was that quote for the masonite, with the material supplied, or steel?
I just got my quote back from laser equations in calgary alberta. For unmodified panels made of 1/4” a44 supplied steel plate, costs 1,659$
For an average of 300$ a panel.
I’m going to send out a request for a quote from two other cutters in calgary aswell, i will post my results when i get them
You can get high qulkity bearings for realitively cheap from “transmission supply” in calgary, alberta. i’m not sure if they will ship however. I plan to order them from here, i will post the costs as i find out. I’m sending out a quote tonight to a local laser water jet cutting shop, will update the costs aswell.
I think this is why pneumatics might be a good possibility, many of the cp die grinders are very powerful with little weight. Of course there is an issue of supplied air.
All of the parts are availble through places like acklands or some local industrial supply shop, (not the motors, but most of the building materials will be. I’m going to build a modified version of this assuming I can figure out some problems. But as far as parts go, yes they’ll be easy to acquire.
