Some small update pics. I welded the bearing block to a plate and sand blasted it clean. Also my 3d parts arrived. Trying to figure out the best...
Bought this one (next version of the one you linked) since it says compatible with all nema 17 motors and I got a nema 17 stepper motor....
No worries I'll have a look at that part you linked there. What's the blue board supposed to be used for? Maybe I can use it for a future project...
Yes. I found these but still confusing. My second board doesn't have outputs like that I think? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I might need some help making the slider. The rest I think I can make but I might have a go with the shaper...
Haha. I'm unsure the diameter of the ruby boule that will form. I'd guess about finger thickness. For the steady the diameter might be anywhere...
Sure I'm interested. Whats the best way to do it? I need this one off piece but if its easy and relatively quick I wouldn't mind making gears...
I've got all the parts for it. Just need to sit down and make one. Only part I don't know how I'd make is the slide that clamps to the table. It...
Bought all the things I need to finish the bulk of the project. I have some lead screws coming, a 50 rpm gear motor, 170:1 worm screw gear, speed...
I bought one stepper motor and the speed controller and driver that you linked. Will use it for the 10 rpm motor part or the tapper that dumps...
Hmm ok. Interesting. How hard would it be to dial in 0.16 rpm though? Might be difficult to turn it on so slowly? What about these ball screws?...
So if I understand correctly the setup is simple. A controller tells the driver board what speed to go at and the driver board send the...
I'd love a stepper motor but I'm a bit scared off by the electronics part of things. Whats involved in setting up a controller for it?
Hmm. I'll have a look at those. My reqs aren't super specific in terms of size. I'm just eyeballing what I need and making it fit together with...
From what I can tell 1 inch per 1 hr is the goal retraction rate. I figure if I have a 16 tpi acme rod then each rotation is 1/16th of inch, so...
