Hello to everyone from Utah! I am excited to get (slowly) started on an LR3 build. I’ve been lurking here for a little while, as I was aware of the LR2 when it came out. I got really fired up watching some build/mod vids of the LR3 recently, so here we go! I’m new to CNC and currently assembling a …

I have pretty conclusively narrowed this down to faulty wiring. With an endstop connected to my little test harness from yesterday, plugged into one endstop port, that motor’s LED went out and M119 showed open. When activating the switch, the LED went on and M119 showed triggered. Massive rewiring,…

It looked something like this: [PXL_20231122_033053786] [PXL_20231122_033108612] … and worked quite well! (Slots aren’t in line with the blade because I forgot to take a pic when they were and it was cold and I was tired and blah blah blah :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: ) Next up is cleaning u…

Just saw this the other day in a YT video, but to help get all the slots to the right depth, you can use the same setup you have there (all the spars/ribs clamped together), but flipped over and use a straight cut bit with a bearing in your router. The bearing will make sure you don’t open up the sl…

[image] Alex Eversmeyer: But I have a pretty solid plan for using the table saw with a crosscut sled Forgive me for asking the stupid question, but why don’t you simply cut the slots to the correct width/depth using the LR3 that you used to cut slots of the incorrect width/depth?

I suppose I could… but that would introduce a bigger margin of error to do that by hand. Given that the machine somehow didn’t cut the slots properly in the first place, even though all the dimensions were correct in Estlcam and the outside dimensions of the cut pieces are correct, I don’t really ha…

Several companies provide 1/8" bits with flute lengths that can handle 3/4" material. I have been using both an upcut and a downcut version from Amana Tools for years. I recently started testing an extended length 1/8" bit from IDC Woodworking.
