yeah, now that i’ve got the machine workin, i’m ready to dig in, I’ve really been spending some time in Fusion360, to the point of attempting to model the entire machine, its not there yet, but I think it’ll pay off in the long run for jigs and other machine wide setups.
I’ll share once it’s further along, many thanks for your pantograph models! I’m using the vertical linkage in my model. I’ll be throwing things into the shared folder soon, I’ve been focused on getting both my Fusion360 skills up and the Maslow tuned to be useful and will be increasing my contributions back soon…
I have a 100mm travel ball gear on the way, and recommend checking out ( First Cuts, metal pantograph linkage ) to see the upgrade I put on the metal pantograph mount. ~$12.50 worth of aluminum extrusions and another ~$25 of mounting hardware and I can adjust the mounting points to the mm. .
I think it will be useful to continue investigating speeding up and shimming the slop out of the Default router (not jumping ship to custom-Z until its the only option).
I’m building 2 more sleds today and a ‘sled stand’ to more easily handle making adjustments to them while on the machine.
more as I have it
