Reprap Forum - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Have you tried bolting a dremel or router to your RepRap? Can you engrave and drill PCBs? Or cut wood, or ... steel?

My machine originally ran on a breakout board with a UC CNC motion controller and seperate drivers and it ran great for many years.

However being a glutten for punishment i decided to bring my homebrew CNC upto date with one of the new all singing all dancing Scylla V1 control boards.

So there will be lots of questions for you and swearing to myself !

I want to connect the original motor to the machine via the motor port. Everything works except for that damn motor port. I checked the voltage across that port and it doesn't change when I turn the spindle on and off through Estlcam.

Before swapping this motor back onto the machine, I want using another motor, a Rattmmotor 104w with its own controller. I was running that on the TTL/ PWM port and it worked fine. I probed that port now and there is in fact a PWM signal there.

Maybe I'm missing something here??? The only thing I didn't try yet was to increase the spindle speed, Estlcam had it set to 8000rpm. That's probably fast enough for the motor, but I don't know if maybe it not turning the motor port on because that setting isn't fast enough? Old videos I've seen of me using Estlcam with this motor and the original board that setting was 24000.

Any other ideas?

I've recently got some request to cut prepreg carbonfiber before its hardened for some model plane makers.

I have a suitable shapoko and I have done some paper plotting with my 3d printer, but I dont think the paperplotter will manage the prepreg sheets.

So I was wondering if there is a desktop cnc cutterhead for prepreg? I think an actively powered/ directional one would be better for cf sheets, but a passive rolling cutter could do as well.

I've been 3d printing for 3 years, and have two machines. However, my older machine, an Anet A6, is kaput. I've managed to salvage some parts, listed below.

5 Nema 17 steppers and wires
2 320 mm leadscrews and nuts
2 340 mm linear rods
2 380 mm linear rods
2 420 mm linear rods
8 linear bearings
1 PSU
3 endstop switches

I also have a rotary tool similar to a Dremel, although I'm open to buying a different spindle motor if that's the way to go.

My plan for the machine is to buy some sort of baseboard, possibly plywood, that's at least half an inch thick and 400 mmx400mm. I'll then anchor two of the rods to the baseboard and use two leadscrews on either side as the x-axis. I'll have a horizontal x-axis with the z stage on it. The overall design will be h-shaped.

Now I come to the reason I'm posting: what do I need to know/do to take these raw parts, with a few others I can buy (budget about 300 dollars), and make a capable CNC mill? I want to be able to mill parts up to soft aluminum, but I'm aware that this may be out of reach for my budget and parts. I can elaborate on my design some more, and I'll do that in a comment, but I want to keep my question length down.

I have built myself a mini desktop router for making PCBs that runs on GRBL 1.1.
CNC v3 grbl shield is powered by a 12v - 5A - 60W psu, and the spindle (an Eleksmaker 555 mini spindle) has another psu of the same spec to itself.

I have good speed, good clearance and good power. I have tried numerous different endstops and nothing changes. It was suggested to me to put a diode on the endstop line to stop unwanted signals, but this also stops the signals that are needed for homing.

When I googled it, all I found were people saying it is most likely a power issue, but there is plenty of power. And still nothing changes.

This cnc build has been a When I do a test cut above the pcb with the spindle off, everything works as it should in UGCS, GRBL Controller and Chillipeppr (all that I have tried for now). Autolevel in chillipeppr even works.
Then as soon as I put power to the spindle, the XYZ axis all stop moving, I get an error stating 'Endstop Triggered' but the program still runs according to the visuals. None of the endstops are anywhere near a trigger point.
nightmare from the start. Every time I fix a problem, something else goes wrong with it. And as for windows 10, I can't even move the steppers in UGCS, Chillipeppr and Mach3.
I'm now using windows 7 x64 and that has solved quite a few issues I was having with win 10. Mach3 is still not working though.

Has anyone got any ideas to what could be causing this to happen ?.

Hopefully this will be my final problem and I can get on with cutting some PCBs (he says with his fingers crossed). I am willing to try just about anything now, this project is really getting to me, I have been working on this for over 3 months and haven't even come close to milling a PCB yet.

PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME !!!

but one of those things i'm curious about is has anyone literally used both 3d fdm printing and cnc milling to product an object or part?
they can even be on 2 different machines i.e. a 3d printer and separately a cnc (end) milling machine.
i got curious about this is that this is very much feasible but i hardly see any real projects or objects attempted.
i'm not too sure if this could be due to alignment or otherwise.
but the idea is that part of the object could be 3d fdm printed and other parts grbl cnc machined.
the main point is that for some parts 3d printing them probably takes a lot of time (hours), it would probably make sense e.g. if a piece is after all a panel with pockets or windows, that can be milled say on an acrylic part. while more complex non-flat parts can be 3d printed and the final design assembled say either with glue or screws.
has anyone come across successful examples of such applications or other hybrid designs?]]> ag123 CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Mon, 02 Dec 2019 14:31:47 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,863126,863126#msg-863126 Losing Steps? (2 replies) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,863126,863126#msg-863126 I've done everything I know of to try and get the Z axis to calibrate. GRBL V 1.1h.
It came setup with 800 steps on X,Y and Z. For X and Y this works fine. But for Z
it would only move 0.5mm. So I changed the number of steps ($102) to 1600.
This works as long as I keep the feed rate under 500. If I change the feed rate to 600
then tell the Z to move 10mm it will momentarily stall during the move. It will start to move,
stop for a second and then continue the move. When the is happens the distance of the
move is incorrect. If I change $102 back to 800 this does not happen but Z only moves 1/2 half of what it should.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I am planning on using the Bigtreetesch SKR Pro V 1.1 for the printer and the SKR V1.3 for the other machines.
The printer is a corexy type and uses a Rumba controller. The laser uses a Ramps 1.4 controller. The cnc is a desk top type called a 3018 Pro (on order) and uses a GRBL controller.
So I would like to settle on one version of firmware / controllers if possible.

MPCNC just happened to be featured on the Teaching Tech youtube channel today:
[www.youtube.com]

I have been DIY'ing the MPCNC build area is 750 x 510 x 290mm and coming along very well. I have not finished it still has parts to print. Though it is looking great.
Have done some preliminary tests drawing the Crown, dry cutting a 2D Cross, and various other simple 2D models before my Dewalt DW660 arrived and was installed.

Now after seeing the LowRider 2 in action, I have had thoughts of converting my MPCNC into a simpler more versatile LowRider 2.

Con:
I almost have the MPCNC finished, only putting on the finishing touches Drag Cains, end-stops (optional) 3D Printed Controller case and Power stand ect.....

Pro:
It would give me a smaller profile LowRider 2 CNC that can easily be stored and work off a single sheet of material attached to a table.

A quick release EMT clamping mechanism modification could allow for Optional lengths of EMT Conduit, this could allow the use with different widths material. Including a quick belt change.


Am I crazy or is does this seem like it could be a good ideal.

After a long thought, I have to partially finish the MPCNC how else can the LowRider 2 wooden parts be cut.

There is quite a bit of printing involved with making all of the parts. Including
the cable chain and Dewalt tool holder it has
to be close to 170 hours of print time. I broke up the workload amongst 3
printers. I'd rather have a printer doing a 6 hour print
than just one printer printing for 18 hours. This also
accounted for the variety of filament colors. I like to make it a point
to be consistent with the colors but I had around
7 old partial spools of different colors and types to use up. The
motor mounts and DeWalt cut off tool holder were done in ABS and the
rest is PLA & PLA+. The red Burly parts are PETG.


I made every effort to buy as many parts as I could
from a local DIY store. Conduit wasn't a problem
but the selection of hardware was severely limited.
5/16 Nylocks nuts are sold in packages of 15, Bolts are sold
individually. There were no 5/16, 1-1/4" bolts so I had to cut down some
1-1/2" ones. All 28 of them. There is nothing I enjoy more than cutting
down bolts. Being a low grade course threaded bolt made this
somewhat easier.


I'm using a Sainsmart RAMPS 1.4 shield with a Arduino 2560.
The 72oz motors are hooked up to DRV8825's set in 1/16 step mode
I added a Smart Controller in order to engrave directly from a SD card.

I couldn't get the pre-configured V1 Engineering Marlin 2.0 firmware to
compile so I reverted back to a older version that I'm using for my printer. I
used Slic3r generated G-code to check all the movements and to plot a
picture. I had to edit out the G28 home all axis command since I don't have any end
stops hooked up yet. The MPCNC design doesn't call out for end stops. I'm
guessing that wherever you park the tool is the origin]]> Shank man CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Thu, 26 May 2022 02:26:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,852148,852148#msg-852148 V1 Engineering's Piper (68 replies) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,852148,852148#msg-852148 V1 Engineering Piper.

First C-Foot 3D Print in ABS looks promising, with ABS shrinkage the ID for the Feet is 23.37 the conduit measurement is 23.5.
This means that very little finish work will need to be done in order to assemble the Piper 3D Printer.

I setup the Printer nozzle to 228C with a bed temperature of 98C, first layer print speed 40 all remaining layers 76 percent.
This calculates to 8.5mm^3 per secound.

With a layer height of .28 an infill at 40% the First model for my new 3D Printer/CNC looks great unfinished.
Using the parts cooling fan at 40% full speed (102/256).

Room temp 72.7
Heated enclosure left side 37.87C
Enclosure Vent Fans speed 60%


[attachment 111137 C-Foot.jpg]



I have 3D Printer all the smaller parts and a couple of the larger parts with very good luck using ABS filament.

The more I print with the ABS at the higher bed temperature, noticed that the 3mm aluminum bed is bowing.
The perimeter of the bed is lower while the center is getting higher and higher. The auto bed leveling is somewhat taking care of it.
But I wander how much it will take before parts will get affected by the bowing an become Unusable.

Want to try an heat the bed while placing a heavy object center bed, then allow it too cool with weight remaining in the center.
Hoping that this action might allow the bed to return to a more level state. It appears may need a Borosilicate Glass Build Plate.

Not looking forward to this as my Proximity sensors will not allow for leveling a Borosilicate Glass Build Plate.]]> Roberts_Clif CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Mon, 11 Nov 2019 08:07:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,851904,851904#msg-851904 DIY Marlin CNC mill z-axis gcode issues (1 reply) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,851904,851904#msg-851904 trnm CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Fri, 26 Apr 2019 01:58:30 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,850698,850698#msg-850698 Gcode Txt file read Matlab (no replies) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,850698,850698#msg-850698

I am new to robotics as well these forums so pardon me if my question sounds silly or too much of a newbie question.

A little background : I'm pursuing Mechanical engineering undergrad so I do not have any knowledge on robotics or whatsoever. I've been learning arduino for a while now, since this field or robotics, mechatronics and automation has piqued my interest, since I have Computer Aided Manufacturing as a subject this semester. That being said, I am looking forward to a project on making a SCARA CNC milling/router (small diy) apparatus using arduino. And this is exactly where I need help.

I've been doing my homework though. I know how to operate servos using arduino (not a big thing but it's a start), I've been studying robot arm kinematics, dynamics, DH tables etc.

The main issue is that I've found nothing so far that tells me where should I start and in what direction should I exactly proceed, like some YouTube tutorial or something showing that how can I use CNC gcodes with arduino in a SCARA.

I did find people making CNCs with arduino. I also found people making SCARAs with arduino. But I didn't found anyone who combined these both (or maybe I am not searching for the correct things, or maybe it isn't possible with arduino? Raspberry Pi maybe?). There was one site though, called Evezor. They have a SCARA which they've used for milling, welding and 3d printing.

I know that this is what I have to do : feed the Gcodes arduino performs inverse kinematics and takes my tool to that position, or moves it on that path. (By the way I know how to operate a CNC milling machine). I will be using a bosch router to do the milling part, as I do not plan to machine steel or some hard materials with the arm, only wood or aluminum at max.

I am not looking for some spoon feed tutorial of some kind, that tells me exactly how do I make that apparatus, no. There's no fun in doing that kind of a project. (saying in case I've been judged wrong haha)

I've been researching about it, and I found two firmwares : Teacup and GRBL, which offer G-code coupling functionality with arduino. I've read about them, they're stepper/servo controlling programs which instruct(?) arduino. There are also tutorials for cartesian control using these firmwares, But I can't seem to find anything that tells how I do control a SCARA with these firmwares, and operate it just like a CNC. Maybe I'm just too much of a noob to figure it out, and it's very simple.

Anyway, with all that being said, I need guidance as in where should I start : what should I look for, what can I read about, some books that I can read, what can I do further etc.

Thanks in advance.]]> Spitfire537 CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Wed, 03 Apr 2019 05:30:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,849356,849356#msg-849356 Shop vac burnout (pics) (2 replies) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,849356,849356#msg-849356 About 15 minutes in, the vacuum starts wavering, then blows a circuit breaker, and I have actual smoke rising from the shop vac.
Unplugged it and took it outside right away, then disassembled to see this:

Basically the motor burned out.
I'm guessing a little shopvac like this was not meant to be run for 15 minutes or more at a time and it just doesn't have a way to cool the motor.

Dust control systems are expensive. There must be a shopvac that can run a bit longer, maybe 30-40 minutes at a time. Any suggestions, or what are you using and how long can you run it for?]]> papergeek CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Tue, 19 Mar 2019 17:53:14 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,845041,845041#msg-845041 ANET A8 - AM8 3D printer TO CNC MILLING FOR PCB (no replies) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,845041,845041#msg-845041

I plan to build a CNC and i found a good motor for my project.

However something trouble me : the rod in the motor move a little bit (normal for a motor brushes).
Did it will impact the work's quality ?

Can i fix directly the connector on the rod like this
cnc without having quality problem ?

Thank you for reading and ... Sorry for my bad english.

I have encountered probably the weirdest error yet when it comes to CNC firmware.

I built a shapeoko knockoff running GRBL firmware on a mega and ramps 1.4. The particular program I am using has worked consistently in the past off of the classic Universal Gcode Sender. Recently, I have tried running this off of the classic as well as the 2.0 Nightlybuild with the same results in both cases.

Commands work for anything in the x and y directions but it gives me a load of errors any time I jog the z-axis more than 1mm at a time or any time I run gcode that involves z motion. Usually, the result is minor jittering from the other motors (as in the program actually reports movement and wild coordinates in these directions) and errors such as "Unsupported Command" and "Error while Processing Response". The ladder often repeats itself until I shut down the program.

I have tried swapping the z-axis driver, updating the board, and running on different computers. It still has the same issues and I can't seem to find any examples online with a similar situation.

Here are my current settings in case it helps:

$0=30 (step pulse, usec)
$1=255 (step idle delay, msec)
$2=0 (step port invert mask:00000000)
$3=6 (dir port invert mask:00000110)
$4=0 (step enable invert, bool)
$5=0 (limit pins invert, bool)
$6=0 (probe pin invert, bool)
$10=3 (status report mask:00000011)
$11=0.050 (junction deviation, mm)
$12=0.002 (arc tolerance, mm)
$13=0 (report inches, bool)
$14=1 (auto start, bool)
$20=0 (soft limits, bool)
$21=0 (hard limits, bool)
$22=0 (homing cycle, bool)
$23=0 (homing dir invert mask:00000000)
$24=25.000 (homing feed, mm/min)
$25=500.000 (homing seek, mm/min)
$26=250 (homing debounce, msec)
$27=1.000 (homing pull-off, mm)
$100=160.550 (x, step/mm)
$101=160.550 (y, step/mm)
$102=7524.000 (z, step/mm)
$110=1000.000 (x max rate, mm/min)
$111=1000.000 (y max rate, mm/min)
$112=500.000 (z max rate, mm/min)
$120=25.000 (x accel, mm/sec^2)
$121=25.000 (y accel, mm/sec^2)
$122=25.000 (z accel, mm/sec^2)
$130=290.000 (x max travel, mm)
$131=325.000 (y max travel, mm)
$132=200.000 (z max travel, mm)

And here is an example of the error. Up one mm: ok. Down one mm: ok. Up two mm: tries to kill itself... Literally, instead of moving the z-axis, it either stops or overruns its boundaries in the x and y directions:

>>> G21G91G0Z1F10
>>> G90 G21
ok
ok
>>> G21G91G0Z-1F10
>>> G90 G21
ok
ok
>>> G21G91G0Z2F10
>>> G90 G21
ok
ok

Has anyone had a similar problem? Are the wild stepper commands to other motors indicative of any particular problems?

Any advice is appreciated.

The firmware is EstlCAM and I have it setup without any limit switches or probe at this stage, I just wanted to get the motors driving correctly and the stepping sorted.
The distances are all correct and the speeds are good too, but the problem I have is that all three motors only moving in one direction, no matter which direction I choose.
After checking and rechecking many times, I am at a loss to know what to check out next.
Maybe someone can think of something that I have not thought of???

Background and what I'm looking for:
I make things out of wood in my spare time and I been in the need of a drill press to make accurate holes.I decided to get a mill instead since I also work with metal and will need to mill metal to shape small parts out of aluminum and steel.My main key thing is straightness/accuracy.

Any suggestions are welcome and thank you for your time.]]> donayre21 CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping Wed, 13 Jun 2018 11:05:25 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,823164,823164#msg-823164 Adding a CNC Spindle to a CoreXY which specs are the most important (6 replies) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?131,823164,823164#msg-823164 Print really good, added a small motor for PCB milling, works pretty good for PCB and soft wood.

It's intended for light cnc work, engraving mdf ,foam or acrylic.
The design is similar to most of 3d printers with dual nema 23 steppers z axis
Nema 17 for both the x and y
For the cnc electronics i'm using a bob with parallel port and single axis tb6560 for both x and y
and tb6600 for the dual z steppers
I'm using bearing blocks and smooth shafts for all axes with gt2 belts and 20 teeth pulleys on the steppers
After completing the build and wiring I started caliberating the motors in mach3
The problem is with the x axis
the micro stepping is at 1/8 and it should be 40 steps /mm
After using auto caliberation function in mach3 and measuring the travel with a ruler ,every time I get a different travel
I tried tensioning the belt, loosening, vibration dampners for stepper, switching nema 17 motors,using nema 23 stepper ,switching drivers, changing idler nontoothed pulley with a toothed one and even using a new parallel cable. Still I get different reading every time I caliberate
I did few test pieces on plywood and the all came out with deviations in the x axis which are not consistent
Is the problem with the design or what
I have been trying to fix it for over a month to no avail.
