Actually I just bought an OpenBuilds 1010 Lead Machine last week & just finished putting it together with the interface. It's been a while since I've posted any videos but I'll post one soon on my new OpenBuilds CNC with all the bells & whistles. @@_Error_404_Goodbye
how's the swap been going now that it's been almost a year? Also, I've been thinking of swapping my x-carve pro to the new blackbox controller x32.. but i am fairly new to the control system stuff.. do you think their system would work with the x-carve pro?
I don't use my CNC nearly as much as I did since I have my CO2 laser BUT the OpenBuilds box is fantastic, zero issues. It should work on newer versions of the x-carve. I would take pictures of all the connections before you swap. From what I remember it was mostly a 1 for 1 wire swap & maybe a couple adjustments after troubleshooting.
Nice work! Do you think running a vacuum cleaner for the vacuum might be hard on the motor? They are not designed to run against resistance for long periods of time! Just wondering if you notice it getting hot? I really like the table though.
He is actually using a Fien vacuum which has 2 motors, one for the vacuum and one to cool the vacuum motor. I have one, although a little pricey, they are a great vacuum and is built to run continuously.
@@davidvanderschaaf7853 Do you know if all the dust extractors like festool and Makita have the same two motor design or is it exclusive to this brand?
Dude is that a vacuum table spoilboard I see there? Really cool, I recently printed on MDF at work (large 4x8 flat bed printer) flat bed has a vacuum table, the vac goes through the mdf sheet, insane
Awesome job man appreciate you sharing your design and process! My cnc is on its way and I'm currently designing my enclosure for it. I'm planning on including a vacuum hold table top as well. How long can you run the shop vac without it over heating? Any issue with that? Thanks again
I haven't had any overheating issues even with jobs that took 1-2 hours. Keep in mind though I'm using a FEIN turbo vacuum which is a higher quality vacuum than the average shop vac at your hardware store. If you use a basic shop vac it may burn out rather quickly.
