Hello everybody. Project started. This one is designed to have a cut area of 2 feet by 4 feet. I’ve learned some cool stuff from this design so I’m having fun.
I purchased the kit last year but never got time to work on it. Last weekend I decommissioned my Shapeoko mod and put together the lowrider.
The photo was taken about 5 minutes before the cheap (Amazon) 8825’s blew up. I swapped out the kit’s 12V supply for a 24V supply (left over from the Shapeoko) and after about 5 minutes of running I let the magic smoke out. (I was running a test box pattern and one of the 8825s exploded, literally.) The 4988’s from the old machine work fine in this machine at 24V.
Hey Dewy, Your Build looks very clean. I am just about to start printing all my stuff but I want to pick up my SS pipes tomorrow before I comit to the 3d printers. I am here in Vegas. I certainly would not mind helping anyone in the area. I want to make Fuses for my RC planes. Basically create a plug then take that and do minimal sanding and finishing to create molds for the various R/C airplanes I love to fly. I just learned about the MPCNC’s last night and I have all the electronics and stuff ordered already. lol. Now i just need to count up my 5/16 bolts ect and see what else is needed. How is the flex in the middle of the table regarding the Z plane. I plan on using the lowrider to make sculpted sections. If it is rigid enough I plan attempting to make full half’s of my fuses with out layers. Well take care and it looks great.
Dewey I’m in the process of building the same cnc low rider. I could use some help, I am located in West Valley City. If you would please contact me at vann_solo at yahoo dot com.
Thanks

Dewey,
not sure if you got my email but was wondering if I could come over and take a look at your installation. I need to know which control board and software you are using and wiring. I still have to order that and not sure what to get. Anyway any help would be appreciated.
