one concern I see with your example is if you happen to touch off on one side with the cutting edge of the carbide and the body of the cutter on the other side the offsets will be off.
Hello! Can you tell me where you connected the XYZ-Sensor cables. You have a wiring diagram or a video that explains it, especially the connection to the CNC Shield. I will thank you for helping me connect the sensor. Thank you.👍
Hi! Your video is very good. I was calibrating the height of my cnc with a homemade sensor. The height of Z is already fine, but now it doesn't move for X :( Could you help me please.
Nice video but yes when using x and y probe you should use a dowel or anything perfectly round not an endmill..an endmill wont give proper zero..so it in reality cant be done accurately with an endmill..for x and y.....
@@Mogul25Years Actually it is the center shaft that needs to touch. As long as you know the diameter of the center and it consistently touches off on the center. The problem with using the edge is that the mill can rotate and become an eccentric reference. This is what I was alluding to.
Hello Nice video. This should help me since I am new to CNC. I have a fully nested CNC with Rich Auto B58e controller. When editing my post, where should i input these lines of code. I know i'll have to tune the # to my probe. My machine uses standard g-code G21. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a couple questions: 1) Have you tried using it with the built-in probe module in UGS? It seems like it should work. 2) Did you build it with materials you had handy? I'd be a little concerned about the wood (looked like MDF?) expanding over time due to humidity. If your machine isn't capable of cutting aluminum, you could use something a little more stable but very easy to machine like Delrin. In any case, that was still a very interesting project and gives me some ideas how I could create my own since I am still using the Z-only "puck" type.
I use this code, tune it to my mdf thickness...its actually from Ryan of Ooznest. I have not tried the UGS inbuilt. thick aluminium and delrin or HDPE is difficult yo find here.....and yes MDF is not the best for long term use...............
@@MickyRalte Either way, that's a cool project. If all you have is MDF, you can use a sealer to help protect it from expanding. We have a big ShopBot with an in-house built vacuum table and middle layer of the table with the vacuum channels is made from MDF. I believe we used shellac but any kind of sealer would work.
