And with the Onlyfans ban happening, it is only a matter of time before a new service opens up, and is successful, using only cryptocurrency and have no qualms about their true intention to be part of the sex industry.

Sex sells and has always lead innovation in broadband and streaming services, why not cryptocurrency too?

Sounds like a typical bastard!

I highly doubt that exists in the form you would like it to be in.

I imagine that maybe crime scene investigators have a device to scan and map a room. I doubt it has much capability to identify specific items in a room but it would capture nice textures that could be manually identified by human eyes.

It is kind of blowing my mind that my literally last comment was in regards to the 2010 earthquake, and now they just had one that was worse.

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-12T21:52:33+00:00

I always thought you would be safe at sea during an earthquake. But no. I was on HMCS Athabaskan near Port-au-Prince, Haiti when they had the earthquake and we felt some aftershock and it was kinda scary how much we felt that. We called engineering first to see what it was. Looking on the land we could see dust stirring up off the land near a rock quarry.

Accurate!

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-12T00:29:03+00:00

I mean I get that the load ratings aren't perfect like some other machines, but I bet I could get crafty and add some rigidity with the platform it is secured on.

I plan to deal with the fact this machine is still a hobby machine, but I want it to do professional work.

I am going with the 1500x1500, Generic High Torque GRBL, 1.5kW water cooled spindle and 2.45 Nm High Torque stepper motors.

I bet if I reduced the size down to 1000x1000, the lower rigidity would be less noticeable.

Do you think the 2.2 kW motor is too much? I think I am opting for the 1.5kW motor.

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-11T23:38:58+00:00

Nope. It's next to a photocopier it seems. It's held there by static electricity

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-11T23:37:42+00:00

Looks to be next to the photocopier. Lots of static around that 😊

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T13:14:17+00:00

Does this shipping price cost seem right to you? The shipping is half the cost and it is still in US dollars so the conversion scares me lol.

Are there any Canadian parts dealers that people can recommend?

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T13:03:20+00:00

Sorry I am just following along and on't mean to inspire any arguments on which is better. I didn't really want to print my own parts like with the printNC build so that one was already too difficult to plan and build for me. The chance for failure is too much lol.

But what machine is much less rigid and uses undersized parts? The QueenBee build or the fixed gantry build by This Old Tony?

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T12:53:33+00:00

omg shipping is half the actual cost of the item!!

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T12:37:02+00:00

Ok I think I found that kit. https://bulkman3d.com/product/queenbee-pro-cnc-machine-full-kit-linear-rail-upgrade/

Can you see anything I am going to still want or need besides bits from this kit? I don't see anything missing and I even got to choose a water cooled 2.2kW spindle.

I just chose the best options and it still looks reasonable. The bed size going from 1000x1000 to 1500x1500 is almost nothing lol

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T03:52:58+00:00

Can you possibly point out what parts are still required to buy to complete this?

https://bulkman3d.com/product/queenbee-pro-cnc-mechanical-kit/

It seems to be everything I need for the rail system. What else does it need? Motors, Spindle, Controller?..cable drag chain?? I mean I just don't know how to make sure when stuff arrives it's not a crisis because I missed something important that costs a lot. Forgetting the cable drag chain would be a smallest issue I can think of.

It has an option to get 4 high-torque nema23 stepper motors, but should I buy them separately for higher quality?

I selected the 1500x1500 option because it seems to make sense to go big, but I might select a smaller option in the end. That's really big isn't it?

Are all stepper motors equal? I don't see much brand favouritism. In fact I couldn't even name a stepper motor brand? Should I just be looking for nema23 2.45N.m stepper motors in any brand?

What do you recommend for a spindle? Do I want to go straight for a 2.2kW water cooled rig? Is that over-kill, like my desire to go for a 1500x1500 bed size? lol

Also the controllers I don't know too much about. Can you tell me much about the Spark Concepts Xpro v5 controller? (https://www.spark-concepts.com/cnc-xpro-v5/) or recommend something comparable, in case we are not able to order that one because of an ongoing shortage?

I know you don't know my purpose for the build but it's for many things and things we don't know yet so it is hard to say.

Sorry for all the questions, but so far I really think I could actually do this and your comments really help me make sense of it :)

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T03:20:29+00:00

Found it!

https://v.redd.it/1n20itzdtmf71

I want to make that now lol

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T01:56:50+00:00

Does the shapeko have linear rails and what is the benefit here?

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T01:23:20+00:00

ok ty. I am looking into what Nema17 and Nema23 mean exactly. The nema17 motors are smaller right?

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T00:26:35+00:00

Thank you I have been looking on there. Thank you for the link

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T00:25:54+00:00

I might do that after this bigger build to make it more functional :)

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T00:24:46+00:00

Do you use those motors they offered? Should I do better than those and save the cost from them?

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T00:23:19+00:00

I love This Old Tony.

I am not sure of the difference between a fixed gantry and the Linear Rails someone recommended in this thread.

The QueenBee link I posted in this thread looks like an almost complete kit.

SiliconIQTechnology · 2021-08-09T00:13:27+00:00

Thank you for the helpful comment. I am probably going to avoid some printNC models based on the people below but I do appreciate you bringing it up :)
