Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

good to hear. They use it in automotive for a reason i suspect. The bad thing is it can't transfer as much torque as an equivalent "normal belt", s you might need a wider one to accommodate for it. Good that mine has room for a 60mm belt. From the quick data i could find, that should be go...

You could always throw in in a cnc simulator. But generally G-code is pretty simple. if you see junk it is generally something like what you expirienced.

In LCNC i used tool 99 as the reference tool. in my case it was the nose of the spindle (without holder). For centroid it would be the same.

I have used beckhoff ETHERCAT IO with LCNC before and that works quite well. Can find them used almost everywhere and they are very compact and affordable *used*. https://i.imgur.com/Hrsnscd.png A full setup, like in this picture is about 150-200 USD used. As for the carroussel, In my build I just u...

Works well for chipbreaking. What you can also do is add an accelerometer to the tool/spindle, measure the resonance peak, and vary and or change the rpm to be out of that range.

new update
yeah I'm curious about how much quieter it will become.

here is the one i got - 200$ wireless: http://www.robotdigg.com/crab/image/2023/12/06/c84ce9147b2a516819edfcd3747cba40.png Error is probably within 0.005mm, and can reach the nominal accuracy within 0.01mm (after calibration). As far as I'm aware only Renishaw does something fancy by adding strain g...

A small little update

You could use the generic china one for like 80USD that most people use in te DIY atmosphere.
Due to the technology used, they pretty much all perform the same.

The acorn is quite a good value tbh. Edingcnc starter set is also around the 360 mark. If one opts for linuxcnc and wants to use a mesa card (like most people do) you'll also quickly spend 200+ shipping + a whole lot of your time. GBRL is cheaper but also much more limited. So overall it is quite a ...
