Hi Guys.
Just ran a simple 40 mm square cube with A B C 1 2 3.
3 mm deep. X measured? 40.15, Y 30.97,? Z 40.19?
but totally parallel. Filament only 2 months old.
Definition from 1 to 10, 9,6%?

Mandatory "Hi" here.? ?I prefer to read and learn the majority of the time.??
Thanks and any help you need, just post

Hello,
Like Bill in OKC; I am really only remotely interested in CNC now because I already have too many hobbies as it is. My real interest is in learning the manual machines (metal and wood) and some supplemental 3D printing of parts and accessories for the manual machines. I think CNC is very interesting?and amazing but I only have so many free hours.?In time that may change when I retire.

Finished assembling an Acrylic prusa Geeetech I3, I have the prusa Geeetch Aluminium frame type,? this Acrylic should be sold next month, the customer wanted a fully assembled printer that was functional. The Geeetech kit price of €135 , free shipping from Germany to Spain, all parts correct and? assembly very easy, a good deal for begginers into 3D printing. Test printed a 2 x scale Benchy, before the happy burger holders, all seemed OK. The new GT 2560 board has many new print options. very nice indeed. I use 4 x corner heater bed Delrin blocks and not the as standard screws with springs. Also use a modified Dial indicator to chech level that slots onto the X axis rail. This allows easy bed levelling by shimming if necessary the blocks on the 4 corners and also allows for synching the 2 x Z axis screws. Also I use a .15 mm bras shim for nozzle to bed adjustment,lastly I opt for phosphor bronze nozzle heaters which are? easy to make. my personal choice, as I find the aluminiun heaters radiant to much heat away from the nozzle. The fan blower holder I desined and printed allows for 2 x fans, air blows along the legs either side of the heater block, the cross mounted fan? blows arir downwards through holes in the base of the holder. Actual fans holder just clips onto the end of the extruder stepper motor body. Hope of interest.   -- John

Just finished printing burger holders, one half slips into the second half by means of a slot. Printed 118 % larger than the attached STL files. A standard 200 mm x 200 mm printer will take both hlaves at the same time, therefore if you print one set in yellow and the second set in red, after swap them around then it?s OK for McDonalds .? Hope of interst and enjoy   -- John

Hello forum members Cover photo August 2021 shows a 125 mm dia chcuk (nominal 5") fitted with master jaws . These were machined using phosphor bronze (PB) material. The slave jaws are bolted and positioned for accurate location with dowel pins and tenons onto the front of the master jaws. Intially I 3D printed a set from CAD drawings to prove out the CNC (g code) scroll development, then cut a set in aluminium before finally making a set in PB. There is a full set of articles of manufacture in? Home Shop Machinist and I am sure if you contact George Bullis (editor) he will? assist in back issues of these. I made soft jaws for 80 mm 100 mm dia also. Attached a couple of photos. Many thanks and hope of interest.   -- John

I guess no one on DH needs it or is close enough to pick it up, so I will try Craig's List. Thanks! -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA

Hello, All, I don't know how many of you live within driving distance of Central New Jersey, but I thought I would post this here first. I have a machine stand that was given to me by a friend. I had planned to use it in a project that never materialized. I am in the process of cleaning out my shop to accommodate my new mill, which I plan to CNC, and the stand has to go. As it was given to me, I am going to pay the favor forward and offer it free to anyone who is able to come pick it up. It needs a paint job but is otherwise in pretty good shape. Full approximate dimensions (measured by me with a tape measure) are included in the sketches, along with some photos, below. As an overview, the total height is 25" and the finished surface on which the equipment would mount is 13 1/2" wide by 15" deep.?It weighs maybe 60-70 pounds. I was able to manhandle it up out of my basement by myself, but just barely. Either send me a PM or post here if you are interested. Thanks for reading! -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA

Hello,
I am on the way to transform my Emco Unimat 3 to CNC on a budget way.
Lot to learn and forums like this helps me not to do every fault once again.
Still not at a level to contribute valuable insights ...
Thanks

Hi, Prasad, I ended up removing all the internal gears except the "dumbell-shaped", high-low double-gear that was mounted on the spindle to do my belt-drive mod. I left that in place to add a bit of mass to the spindle. (This gear is metal in the Real Bull mill.) As removing the other gears and shafts required removing the "head", it took me quite a bit longer than your 30 minutes! Some years later, while replacing the spindle bearings, I had to remove the high-low gear and left it off during reassembly. One issue that I have with the belt-drive kits is that you always seem to end up with a faster speed range. For example, my mill with gears had speed ranges of 50-1250 RPM (low) and 100-2500 RPM (high). After the modification, my "low" pulley position has a top speed of 1700 RPM (with a proportional decrease in torque) and the "high" pulley setting has a top speed of 3900 RPM.? This is great if you are using a 1/8 inch end mill, but a disadvantage when spinning a 50 mm face mill! Best of luck with your modified mill! -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA

I remember that "incident" very well. It did strike me as very peculiar, to use a polite term.
It was John L in October 2020 in the "No compound" thread - a topic started by yourself :)
I found and joined this group because the topics being discussed are interesting to me.
I am just learning from the knowledgeable people here and very rarely comment,
because I don't feel like I have something valuable to contribute.
Now I'm hearing that 30 days without posting will get one kicked out from this group.
To be honest, this sounds rather outrageous to me. Many internet forums or discussion groups are owned/operated by a single individual or a small group,
so it's natural that some of them will enforce some kind of rules that make sense to them. These rules are usually clearly listed when you register on the forum.
But so far I haven't participated in an internet community where you are suddenly told that not posting will get you kicked out.
I wish JimJohn was just grumpy, and didn't really mean it?
Wish everyone well, in case I will be kicked out after this post :)
Cheers
Gene

Re: Change your Digital Hobbyist delivery to "Digest" to cut down on individual emails
Thank you Charlie, you are my wizard with words , my William Shakespeare. I just cut metal with the digital stuff. Also a big thanks for all forum members. it's been a crazy week, from zero posts in April till now,? So nice to read we have not all been taken to the great digitalhobbyist machine shop in the sky, but this?pandemic has thrown many curveballs at us, , will it ever end, no I believe not not in 50 years, IMHO But as we hobbyist engineers? can always work around some most obscene?situations?god throws at us, be it Climate change, horrendous storms, Covid etc.? For those that have taken offence to my reality check, then I apologise and it is not necessary to? say '' hello" after every 30 days. Those unsubscribed , then please do not hesitate to rejoin.?? As it?could be a double?loss situation, as we forum members do not know what you know, and you will not know what the latest whiz bang digital thing will be in the future. oh well, win some lose some.
When living currently in a family terminal illness situation, it is natural to count the cost of future expenditure? as a loss of?life in a family budget is also a loss of monthly income.? I do not want any financial contributions to continue this forum , just a confidence support and the many recent thumbs up gives me this for us all continuing not to be just?a group?of intelligent people , but a privileged group of members of an exclusive digital hobbyist? family.
Stay well, stay safe, and importantly be happy especially within the family.? and keep us posted on any digital subject you care to discuss, without of course the mention of politics, religion etc. Even me, as??not to be? PC ??? ,?? accepts and respects these fundamental human rules.??
Thanks
John?
Hello, If you are concerned about an excessive number of emails from DH or other IO Groups, you can change your email delivery from "Individual Messages" to "Digest". You will then receive one email every 12 posts, or one email per day (if there are less than 12 new posts) rather than 12 separate emails. Select "Subscription", then make one of the choices below. I personally use "Full-Featured Digest" and am satisfied with it.?  -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA

Ralph I am sure Richard will respond to his RELS system Thanks John
John, why is the RELS still pulled? Six months ago Egor said he had wanted his code to be open source.
I probably?need to ask Richard. I have not been to the Russian forum in a long time there might be new discussions.
Ralph
Ralph, what a darling you are. I do not need any financial help, I started this forum with knowledge of all the financial obligations,? and will continue with the help of "hello" posts from all my friends all over the world. You will notice that there should be NO advertisements or propagande when you click onto this forum. Try this with facebook twitter etc etc.
Again Ralph
?
John, we will help pay for the group.
If you want we can use my paypal account rhulslander g? mail.
Ralph
Will I am sorry that the total ELS and now RELS has been pulled from the digitalhobbyist forum. My latest RELS is so perfect?that I will never stray away. It is all down to Richard? UK to decide if he wants to reply. I very much doubt it and so we are in an impasse, He was the inventor, the guru. the absolute British lecky scientist and a fabulous machinist. Without his pure genius, then it's best to pull the digitalhobbyist plug and save me $150 per year I have it all, RELS, CNC 4 axis mill, 3D printing, so what more do I need.??? Certainly not armchair engineers. So sorry. John
I've been following this group for some time now and am looking for a ELS for my small lathe.
There was a post from John that he was finishing a few kits and making them available when completed.
I sent him a reply that I would like to have one and got a reply saying I would be on his list to get one when they were completed.
It's been some time now but have not gotten any word if they are done.
I want to install a two axis unit so I can do threading.
Does anyone know if the ELS units have completed?
?Thanks Will
Ralph,
I am going by John's original post, which said:
30 days of no posts even hello will drop you out.
Perhaps he will reconsider...
