Re: CNC Kit
Art, As details emerge I would appreciate it if you would keep us informed. I am looking at replacing my CarveWright with something a little bigger and better. Thanks, Steve On Jul 2, 7:26 am, Art Ransom akran...@tx.rr.com wrote: Went today to see a prototype of a CNC router kit. It is 2' by 3' so it is easily transportable to shows. End result I have ordered one. Really not much of a kit as all the critical parts ( V rails for X and Y, Z axis and gantry side plates) are prebuilt sub assemblies. Anti backlash nuts are assembled, installed and adjusted. I can probably complete build in about 4 hours. Cost is not firmed up yet but will be under $2k. Add less than $1200 for Campbell's controller, motors (640 oz/in), cables and switches and $157 for Mach3 license. I am using the Acer Revo PC to drive my router and it is $199 new at Fry's and Dell Refurbished E2310H 23-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor (Part # D606R) at $169. PC and monitor both have 3 year warranty. I am going to also get the water cooled spindle. build in about 4 hours.

I'm afraid all of the message is missing.

Re: Rotary Table and String Art
I don't get the math either. I'm a knuckle dragger that understands the math after I figure what is going on in the real world. Then I can use the math to solves things faster in the future. I did the loop you are referring to using the A gear and standard gear set. The pen started on the right side of the rotary table (crank side) and traveled to the left side. The y axis was set at 2 closest to me. Here's a pic with the y axis set at 1/2 and 1. I'm just starting to see how to possibly control this to get an effective pattern. More later. If anyone else has been down this path, please speak up. -Tim - Original Message - From: cole andrews To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 8:24 PM Subject: Re: Rotary Table and String Art Are you kidding? nowhere near bored, this is what I was hoping for when I bought the rotary table. I have not figured out the gear or pitch combination for things like that loop at the bottom of the picture . I own the standard gears and the 2x and the .25 gears. maybe I just dont understand the math. On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 7:49 PM, Tim Krause artmarb...@comcast.net wrote: This is getting interesting. I did all of my original tests with the y axis at 0. As you offset the y-axis in the negative direction, or towards you, that teardrop shape gets smaller and starts to change into a wave. Controlling where they go is whole new problem. It would be really nice to be able to turn the 3 offset pattern 90º and repeat it all around the circle getting a chevron effect. I still think a template might be the better way to go. Granted you can't make the loop (teardrop shape) with a template. This further makes me think of mounting a french curve on the back as a template. Probably not rigid enough, but you get the idea. A template with curves that could be mounted at different angle to get a suitable curve. I could go one step further an make a captured template in a french curve shape. Fun stuff. Are we getting bored yet by this topic? -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.
