![]() With the parallel breakout board the best new beginner programs you can use, would be Mach 3 and ArtCAM, since it is a good program for beginning users. With our blackTooth kit, if you were to go with our lowest cost machine being $1700. I need to know whaqt software I will need to get me started routing simple signs and lettering and maybe some simple stuff What is the best dip switch settings for the 3.0 amp drivers powering the 425 oz motorsĬlick the link to add information to this solution: I am a novice to CNC and I am building the "Book Build" CNC machine. Increase the microstep value up to your desired resolution, but don't go over since the torque of the motor will decrease.Ĭlick the link to add information to this solution: I'm building my own machine using your motors and drivers. A mechanical disadvantage would be where the stepper motor is causing a great amount of movement in the axis and the resolutions suffers from this condition. Increase the microstepping only in conditions where the axis is not moving smooth enough, or where there is a mechanical disadvantage. This is because the mechanical configuration will provide most of the finer resolution and you will not need the microstepping to assist in this. In cases where there is mechanical advantage, like a lead screw scenario, where for each motor revolution, the axis move a very small amount, you will want a very low microstep value. You always want to try to achieve the best torque and resolution for the axis you are moving but go with the lowest microstepping possible. ![]() Here is a good rule of thumb for the microstepping which will correspond to the resolution, but wil also affect torque. Use the closest setting on the driver without going over. In all circumstances, the amp setting for the stepper motor (according to the datasheet) should be 2.8 amps. The settings that you will use for your 3.0 amp driver to properly power and turn your 425 oz-in stepper motor will cheifly depend on your application and the mechanical parts you are using on your machine.

Is the kit complete or do I have to purchase additional items to finish? ![]() PC with parallel port and USB port - 20awg stranded wires for the motors - 18awg stranded wires for power supply to drivers - 24awg stranded wires for breakout board to drivers (location and spacing of components varies from one person to another, so we do not provide cables/wires) - General purpose extension cord (cut the female end off) to provide power to power supply - USB cable to power breakout board - Parallel cable to communicate to breakout board - Router - (optional - instead of router) Spindle with power inverter - (if purchasing spindle with inverter) General purpose extension cord (240v) (cut the female end off) to provide power to power inverter - End Mill(s) - CAD, and/or CAD-CAM software (to produce geometry, machine operations, and g-code) - CNC control software (to read g-code and control machine) This answer is applicable to most of our machines with the exception of the greenLean and the blueChick since those machines are equipped with a table structure. There are instructions on how to do this at the bottom of the product page here, There is no estimate on how much this will cost though, since there are too many variables involved to do this. You will need to build the table unit for your machine. I would like to talk with someone if possible. ![]() Please heko me wuth the list, My phone is 9124273734. Additional Information: 20Ĭlick the link to add information to this solution: I am building a wet plasma table for my shop that is 8'x 16'. You will need CAD software to design your design, CAM software to add tool paths and convert the design to g-code, and then control software to take the g-code and operate the machine. I can tell you, however, that you will need 3 types of software to complete a CNC project. We would not be able to tell you which to get, and how much it will cost you. As for the software, there are too many different options for you to choose from. You can use this computer, but you will need to determine if it has a parallel port, or if you are going to need the USB controller option. ![]() If you purchase the greenLean, you will get everything you need except a router, computer to operate the machine, and software to control the machine. ![]()
