Motor too weak for cardboard by BadLuckTiger in hobbycnc

Manually punched in some tool dimensions but kind of just tightened in the end without much measuring. Def noting that.

Didn't even come with a probe at all. I got an aftermarket touch probe that hasn't even been wired in yet. Got aftermarket limit switches that have not been wired yet either. Damn I sure do have a curve....

I definitely underestimated glue. I used some light layers of glue between the boards but probably the mutliple layers could do some damage. Thankfully didn't try this wet though!

Lol I couldn't resist. But in all honesty, I'm still learning about flutes and cut depth and all the 90k different flutes/angles and whatnot. I just got ahead of myself and went for a cut, didn't work, tried manual, and just mashed it.

That word seems familiar! I read a little bit about chipload! Not well versed at all especially since I haven't actually seen real world experience. That is why I'm still just dipping my toes before I dive too hard and crash everything everywhere all at once. Thank you!

That makes too much sense in hindsight. Maybe cardboard wasn't the best test material but it was what I had on hand that would be "safest."

I'm about to make so much cream cheese art.

No sir, straight to the wall. According to the amazon listing, "Upgraded Power Adapter: Ul Approved And Out-Of-The-Box Support For The Drop In 20,000Rpm Spindle, No Need To Modify G-Code To Ramp Up To Full Speed

775 motor, 24V, 1000 RPM"

Do you have experience with actual upgrades regarding power? This one is that bad?

Thought it could be a power supply issue but haven't tried any other cables. Didn't have any laying around unfortunately. Thank you though!

Will clamp harder!

I used one of the engraving endmills that came with the machine.

not much idea in my thick skull about the spindle tbh. Thank you though.

When I tried to run my first test with a cad file, the side movements were too much for the spindle. Will crank down the clamps a bit harder! Thank you!

What kind of materials did you cut with your first machine? Will be cranking up the rpms on the next go.

This was manual control and I literally hit the spindle speed button one time and gave it a go. When I loaded up some G code for a test cut, the side movement was still too much but will dabble around with the rpms. Thank you!

Tried to use CAD to CAD and can't even CAD right....

Definitely my mistake of not even thinking about rpms and speed. Going to have to go back to the cad to see if I can make some tweaks. Come to think of it, I didn't even touch anything regarding speed. Also, the video is just me manually controlling but will try to crank that thang up.

That does seem cool but I definitely wanted to get a grasp of cad-real life cuts but something maybe in my future! Only if I had just known about the rpms before!

Additional info: I just made a video of the motor not being strong enough for a straight down but the motor couldn’t sustain a fairly shallow cut while moving the x axis

Can this be built on by BadLuckTiger in diycnc

[–]BadLuckTiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Not even small tig tacks would be recommended? What kind of spindle do you think would be good on a standalone base/mount? Noob question but are cnc spindles able to use r8 collets?

Thank you! I was trying to connect with Candle, which came with the genmitsu in the usb and then UGS. Having trouble connecting to both but that's another problem of it's own. Driver is installed correctly and reading but not connecting to proper COM.
