Update: I swapped the wiring for Z limit switch with Y (Which is next to Z). VR miller is still reporting that Z is pressed. When I press the Z-limit switch, it reports Y as being pressed - which show the switch and wiring are working. At a real loss. Could this be a firmware issue? Could someone gi...

Hello, I have an odd problem with my 2600. The X axis will not home. Instead, creeps downwards until out-of-limit. I have checked the microswitch continuity using the multimeter and it is working. I have also checked the signal to the NextMove ST board, by using a mulitmeter on the screws/pins where...

Perhaps showing my ignorance:

The shape of the T-slots is curved towards the bottom and normal clamps' don't fit. Is this specific type of t-bed, with unique fittings and where can they be found?

Hi Steve,

Thank you, I think the part number will be on the chip. I was just asking in case you knew of the top of your head so I could order one.

I'll pop in to the Hacklab and find out.

What sort of temperature will make the regulator fail?

Thank you again,
Scott

That is the one - do you know the make and model of the chip and where I can maybe order one?

Thank you,
Scott

Hi, thank you for getting back to me.

What is the number of the regulator in case I need to replace it?

Thank you again

Hello, I recently got both a Novamill and Novaturn for the Edinburgh Hacklab. It is a open-community project trying to encourage people to be makers However I have a problem. The Novamill has a peculiar failure; after a short time the Novamill would lose contact with the host computer. This could ha...

This is the one!!!

I've seen the shell of one of these when I was a student! - Weird Looking thing!!!

I've turned some Balsa blanks and used QuickCAM 4D and results were impressive, although it is very difficult to get 'square' edges should you want them. If your design is very free-flowing then the results are impressive. ...The biggest pain is having to turn your own round balsa blanks - the pain ...
