I feel like we are having similar questions gentlemen. I think I figured out some better questions to ask.
- If you have watched the video link I included a little while back, this will make more sense. The Fastrax was a small destop CNC machine with an adaptable 3D print head step up.
Commonly you guys mention "use a 4th axis" I understand its used to control the extruder, which is a stepper mo

So this is a 5 axis machine. The bridges controls XY and the table moves back and forth for the Z axis. Then the head rotates and pivots. I'm not sure yet what axis those are labeled as. I believe E or A, but if you look at the photos it shows the label on some of the drives/servos. Obviously I feel that theres multiple ways of doing this, and of course we're trying to start with something easy t

A 3D printer controller requires 4 axis (X,Y,Z and the extruder) and a temperature-controlled heater. The output from the slicing program is designed to control those 5 things, so you will need to explain how you have connected the controller of your CNC mill to operate the Z axis, extruder and hotend heater.

Scope of Project: I'm making an adaptable 3D print head for a CNC mill. Its fairly large, its a C.R. Onsrud 5-Axis CNC router, 2015 Model F146S15.
I'm fairly new to the hardware/software world. So these are my thoughts on how I think it might go. I'm hoping to get some questions answered.
Step 1: Currently, we make a 3D model in Inventor, then import it into AlphaCAM to write the G-code for o
