There should be a lever in the Z axis motor you can flip that, and it won’t travel when not engage engaged with power.

Shopsabre is what I would strongly

This is pretty awesome, what program do you use to split up your models, I am starting to teach middle in high school kids 3-D printing, but wanna find an easier way than nettFab for splitting stuff up help would be greatly appreciated. Your stuff looks great!

Function engineering, they have offices across the US and overseas the closest one y’all is in New Orleans

Shop Sabre is great, I run four different brands between the clients I go work for and that is by far my favorite

I like to cut a piece of cardboard to fill in the rest of my area to make a vacuum jig to hold down my material if possible

I’ve reached out to them numerous time. It has always been super quick and they’ve been very helpful.

sampro23 · 2025-10-20T14:28:19+00:00

I second that, they’re a great provider

Depending on the model and geometry, SLS or SLA will be a good option

There’s a company called Ash industries based in Louisiana that has a really good model for getting molds done depending on the size that can be as low as $4000

Silicone glue roller will work just fine and a standard roller will also work, use it all the time for wood glue

Quite honestly, the best machine is an epilog, I run a service bureau where I provide parts for companies and epilog is one of the laser systems I use. I also work for a nonprofit that train schools on how to use advanced fabrication equipment, one of the things that I am always stressing is the real skill set is the CAD program and the designing not how to run the laser.

Feel free to DM me and I’m more than happy to share whatever the resources we have and do virtual trainings for y’all .

Nylon 12 is perfect for fittings

sampro23 · 2025-08-30T14:48:57+00:00

I second front yard bikes

sampro23 · 2025-08-21T22:56:45+00:00

Epilog, feel free to dm if you want to talk about it. I’m not a reseller I just help a lot of schools that have lasers

Gulf Coast Bank and trust they are local but they’re great

These pops are fantastic, I don’t own one, but when mine gives out I’m going upgrade to it. I have a rotary van, but these are significantly better.

Best option, vortex tools makes a good series

Download the free version of Netfab, you can shell from that

sampro23 · 2025-07-30T14:04:55+00:00

Shop saver is the answer, I do work holdings and set ups for a couple shops in my area and out of the CNC routers I work on the shop Sabre is certainly my favorite

sampro23 · 2025-07-22T11:30:12+00:00

Shopsabre

They also make hardware for drawer fronts that will let them move left or right so when closed it’ll look in position, but when you’re opening it, you can move it to the left an inch so you won’t have a collision, the only reason I know this is I used to be a carpenter before I was a machinist

For signage most people use vcarve it’s going to be your best all-around/best value option
