Re: Acorn 3d model
lol it looks like everyone is doing the same thing. here's pic of the one i made, mounting points were accurate enough to make a case. I 3d printed a prototype case, I'll be making a final version out of acrylic. Centroid_Acorn_2018-Mar-14_11-12-47PM-000_CustomizedView29679915653.png IMG_1387.jpg IM...

Re: Auto Z mesh leveling
FWIW I just finished with a meeting in which I presented requirements to implement Auto Z mesh leveling and Skew correction in the Acorn Wizard and Acorn Pro software. No additional software or modification of the G code will be needed. An interface will be provided that allows a probe to be used t...

Re: Auto Z mesh leveling
I did not know about the XY skew correction. Good to know! I'd like the concept of G-code ripper and it may work just fine for some people. As I learn more about CNC, I'm looking to simplify my toolchain, so fewer and more reliable pieces of software the better it is for me. Plus... If and when Cent...

Auto Z mesh leveling
Hey Guys i'm very new to the Centroid world. So I'm just learning about all the features it has, and so far i'm pretty impressed. Does the Centroid software/hardware have Z mesh leveling feature? This has been showing up in many hobby CNC controllers in the last couple of years. If you don't know wh...

Re: DIN mounting options
You're probably right. I'm 3d printing other brackets, I might as well make one for the Acorn.

DIN mounting options
Is there a bracket for DIN mounting the acorn? I found this... modular_open_pcb_supports(1).jpg It's for 107mm boards and it looks like the acorn will probably fit. There are 10mm, 18.5mm, and 35mm lengths you can snap together. Is there a better option? Does Centroid offer a DIN mount kit? Thanks!

Re: USB MPG
If the jog dial lets us alter the feed and speed, that functionality is duplicated with 4 buttons. Since the number of buttons are limited, Id rather have a few more macro buttons instead. Currently I don't change feeds and speeds often, if I do, I'll modify the gcode for a permanent fix. As a hobby...

Re: First Cnc project
Looks great!
I like the idea of using aluminium extrusions for a frame.
I'm going to be building a new acorn system soon!
