C-Beam bundle Questions

$
0
0
I'm looking at the C-Beam Bundle for a single axis project and I have a couple of questions.

- Will a NEMA 17 step motor fit the end cap supplied in the bundle? I need limited torque for this application so will need to go with either a NEMA 14 or NEMA 17 stepper motor. It appears the bundle is made to work with a NEMA 23 sized stepper motor so I'm unsure a NEMA 17 motor will bolt to the end cap.

- Does the flexible coupling work with both the NEMA 23 and NEMA 17 step motors?

Thanks!

Source for GT3 Pulleys

Anyone know of a source for GT3 pulleys that has competitive pricing? I'm looking for an 8:1 gear ratio with the large pulley around 6" diameter (if possible). Large pulley for a 1" shaft and the smaller pulley would need to fit a 5/8" shaft. Nylon or aluminum would work fine for the larger pulley. Hoping I won't need anything custom made.

Thanks!

Double C-Beam to create an I-Beam

I am trying to design a 4x4 ox, and was planning on doubling the C-Beam to create an I-Beam.
The C-Beams would be bolted together in 4 or 5 locations to create a "solid" beam.
1500mm C-Beams would be used to allow room for gantry, clamping, etc.
Thoughts? or Experience? I've searched the forums, but didn't see anything like this.

Hi there, fellow open builders, Heres a video of my camera edge finder arrangement and offset macro.

This idea has been around a while but thought I'd share as I think it's wicked, makes setup much quicker. You don't have to use a screen, Mach 3 and uccnc have a webcam plugins that have crosshair overlays that are in fact better, only you need a usb video adapter and I find they are slightly resource heavy, and this old laptop wasn't really up to it so the screen in my case works better. The...

Hi There..

Thought id post this idea i have rattling around since the cbeam came available for what i believe could be the strongest ox yet. I'm undecided about building another at the moment as i simply don't require another but thought id share the idea.

The design is pretty rough but the fundamentals are there. Design below is 1500 x 1500 - cutting area something like 1250 x 1250

Canadian Ox Plate Set - Waterjet Cutting - 10 1/4" pieces

Hi All,
I'm in the process of building my own version of the Ox (Calling it the Beaver as all I cut is wood). As such I've been able to talk with a local manufacturing company that specializes in waterjet cutting high tolerance parts. The accuracy is +/- 0.001" so for gantry plate needs we are in business. As these seem to be the hardest parts to find I figure I can offer these to people looking to setup their own Ox based system.

These are based on the "V-Slot OX_Build_81_DXF Plates.dxf"...
