In all honesty, 2 back-to-back beams should be really strong. I'd give it a try and if it doesn't work then consider the H-beam, flitch beam, or even...
Well, I haven't used vslot yet but I've read a lot of what other builders have done to make similar spans with t-slot. They found that the weight of...
haha that's awesome. I have no idea how to make gcode to print color :eek:
Yeah that's true. For CNC, a lower kV motor means slower speeds at max torque... This becomes important when you consider that you have to remove the...
I think there are a lot of misconceptions about brushless DC motors as cnc spindles. Here's how I see it: The motors are going to use more current...
890kV=960W@100% duty cycle on 12V and 80A. You can get a 1000W power supply for $35... they are used in HP servers. I may use 2x480W($15/ea) to power...
Well the smoothieboard already does all of the control, we just need more power.Apparently a MOSFET push-pull amplifier would do the job. This site...
