- On maslow4_frame.html: what do the “orange” bands indicate vs “yellow”?
which represents angle constraint/hits vs ?
just different contraints.
yellow is the contraints of adjacent arms not being able to spread wide enough
apart
orange is the contrainst of opposite arms not being able to swing close enough
together.
- Assuming i’m getting about 14.5’ from each belt, how can the tooling show
the corners as remotely green? The “belt length required” says 165, which is
within the 14.5, but what i mean is that there is no way the maslow can exceed
14.5 either, so If you’re interested, it seems that it might be good to
enforce a max-belt-length constraint in the visualization to avoid indicating
that there is viable cutting area.. This is just a thought, as I’m not
entirely sure of what i’m talking about, but it would seem that the outlying
green areas currently could be a little misleading if someone didn’t double
check or use “common sense” etc.
I just haven’t implemented that check. I calculate the needed belt so people can
check.
the green bands as you go into the corners and sides are every 1 degree of error
of the belt and arm not being aligned (with the chart above the graph showing
how the error translates into belt length errors)
if you translate to mm it shows much more clearly
- During calibration in this setup, where can i expect the maslow to need to
travel? just over the work piece area, or up into corners? (this is mainly a
question of under-layer/spoil setup).
you set the calibration area, in theory, the wider and the more points the more
accurate the calibration is going to be.
you should setup your spoilboard to go a few inches outside where you plan to
cut so that you can put some waste material outside your workpiece (same
thickness as your workpiece) so that the sled won’t tip. 3-4 inches should be
enough
- I plan to lay this out on the floor: So, a) how close to vertical/horizontal numbers… 90/0??
I’m not sure what you are asking here. there are a lot of people doing both, we
don’t have any good idea how many doing each
- It seems that the belt securing bolt heights are not considered here, but
are somewhat in the yaml.. (seen in some other post that escapes my
recollection). Which values correspond with which corner (if you happen to
know)? My plan was to align the bolt height pretty close to the corrosponding
“arm spindle” height back on the router stack. reasonable idea?
the Z offset numbers in the yaml are TLZ for top left Z, etc
I believe that matching the arm height is a good idea, but make sure that your
anchors do not flex under load.
- my garage floor is multi-angle sloped for concrete pad draining, but i
expect i can shim the spoil to be stable. Are there any concerns/gotchas i
should consider before proceeding setup/drilling holes etc.?
7.any other “hey, try this/think about that” before i should do anything else?
it sounds as if you’ve been reading and understanding what’s going on.
