Der Froschkönig - Lowrider 3 in Oldenburg, Germany

Oh, nice. If you did try, tell me if it’s good, please. V-Carve inlays with V bit are useless. But we had that all in the other thread already. :sweat_smile:
Side note: wasn’t there a trial version of carveco somewhere?

Here you go: 90 days free. This is what I started with. It works with other machines, don’t need a sainsmart. I use the PP that was posted here before. I’ll need to get to my computer to find the link

I need a PP for Estlcam anyway. :sweat_smile:

I am back at the old “belts are not tight enough” I had with Schneewittchen as well:

They should have been 20mm, but they aren’t. It shows very well on the dog bones as well, you can barely make them out. It does not matter too much, but I now definitely need to glue them.

What I also noticed is that the LowRider makes different sounds than the Primo. It is, in my opinion, running more quietly. Have to get used to it. :smile:

What I also did is set Z too low, it was close to bottoming out at the ZY plates. By close I mean 0.2mm… :sweat_smile: The Primo could go a lot deeper below 0.

Able to improve by tensioning belts, or you thinking a mod is needed?

Tensioning usually does it. Will see the next time whether it worked.

Here is the old thread: Measurements are off, but consistently.

An ant among giants… :sweat_smile:

It did not work. The belts might be too loose still, but they feel a lot tighter than with the Primo, though one has to remember that the belts were at least 30-40cm shorter. I really don’t have a feel for the belts yet.

You can see that the holes in the picture are all do not okay and are a bit too big, you can’t make out the dogbones… I played around with the belts after every hole. So the same problems I used to have with the Primo. Funnily enough it’s the only thing where you can see it, those 90° turns. You saw the inlays, they were really tight. They don’t have 90° turns though. :stuck_out_tongue:
Also funny: The mistakes are 100% repeatable. I cut the same part four times with the same G-Code. They are all exactly the same. I stacked them… The outsides of the joints being too small, the insides too large.
(Side remark: I refuse to go slower than 1200mm/min. It did always work, it has to work… :D)

And why do I feel that Youtube is not showing my video any more as suggestions… -_-
