Btw, do anyone know how much Amps the shield needs? Can't find that info...
I know I must calculate according to the motors, don't know the formula

@GyroGearloose doesn't it have any sort of board number or model? it will be definitely hard to look for manuals if there's nothing like that.

@GyroGearloose also it looks like it says it right under the terminals?

@JoshBent

just Say the Volts, from 12V to 36V.
I'm using a laptop 12V 2A + 5V 2A (Only using the 12V to power the shield.
Asked because someone may already know.

Looking for info on the driver, I found this:

https://www.pololu.com/product/1182

It says each driver can use 1A per face, I know I'm pulling (trough onboard potentiometer) 0.7 for X, Y and 0.2 for Z, but don't really know If I can just calculate by Ax+ Ay+ Az = 1.8A ??

Put me in the CNC herd as well :)

@Codex404 Done :D

2A should be enough then, if you add the stuff thats on the board.

@GyroGearloose (you can tag me in all your thingys, this is awesome)

@c3ypt1c Thanks :D :D :D :D

Just needs the Z now... But I'm already testing with a fastly built Z axis for the old CNC :D
And I'm liking it

Lesson learned...don't mess with the machine while running... Just fucked my hello world lol

@Haxk20 I don't think it's ghosting. I think that's the effect of the camera, light and natural filament. If that's ghosting that machine has serious problems.

whats ghosting???

Hardware bugs suck Ass....
Had everything prepared for the test... and fucking (cheap, really cheap BYJ-48) has to fry...
Now only goes on one direction. (wird)

n1 man, some parts are made by itself, i mean parts of the printer are self printed?

@BadCompany this seems to be a CNC router with 3D printed parts (also a CNC device)

@BadCompany _This is a CNC, but used my cheap printer to make the pieces :p

That is cheating u used a 3d printer to make those...

haha now thats diy!
@Gregozor2121 same deal lol cnc with a z-axis 😜

Looks great :)

@BadCompany cnc routers do have an z-axis as well.
Cnc lasers dont (I think)

:d I also have a wood frame already made, but I need bigger calibrated 8mm rods.
New steppers already arrived, smaller and lighter than the ones I'm using, I want to save the big ones (the ones I'm using) for a 600mx600m table CNC.
Right now I'm testing the resistance... Everything looks good for now, but I still need to stress test it (Z-axis finished printing overnight).
It's already good enough If I was cutting foam, light materials... Still, minimum I accept is 0.2mm on wood.

@xzvf Done :p

Stress test.
Didn't pass but almost. Burned the spindle transformer and the spindle got fucked because it was milling. Also Z doesn't have enough strength to not bend.
It's usable :D

Getting really frustrated here...
What tools do you guys use for CAD / CAM to generate the G-Code?

I want to know how much this CNC machine will cost me. I want to make one of the https://www.aluminum-machine.com/ machines myself, but I am sure that I won't be able to make it. So, I will just buy it from this site.

Well, depends. Mine is already over 100€.
My advice? Buy one of those 150€ Chinese ones. Upgrade it, work with it, then make your own.
I'm about to spend 300€ more to make it cut metal, don't expect any less. But I have an advantage, I'm already a cnc operator and know how the machine must work and what to correct.
