    It appears I've broken my printer...

    Can O ring seals or gaskets e.g. for a motor block be printed from TPU? and will they endure in use?

    And there is some structure under / behind the rear support. What does that do? Got another picture at a different angle?

    Motorcycle Lift

    Very nice build! What do you think it cost? If you used a screw instead of a hydraulic ram do you think you could turn it? What does the mower weigh?

    Motorcycle Lift

    @Dabbler also suggested since you have shop crane John why don't you just lift it up with that onto a sturdy table? probably a good idea. not quite as interesting.

    Motorcycle Lift

    I was working on my new two wheeler - and I really wanted a lift to save my knees and back and ... Lifts are expensive. I put together these plans to make one out of wood. I'm not sure I"m going to build it or not but it has been an interesting exercise. I think it will cost $150ish. It...

    Robot Arm

    Ordered yesterday and they are here overnight! From the US! I’ve ordered from them before and been similarly impressed. Expensive though.

    I think you’re right. How about plugging the z axis control into the x axis motor. Then you can isolate it down to the motor.

    It appears I've broken my printer...

    Also one thing - the filament will prevent the motor from turning unless ithe hot is on and allows filament to flow through it. That might be another thing to check - if the hot end stays cool then then the motor won’t turn. You said it did turn manually so I guess Brian you have handled that.

    It appears I've broken my printer...

    Could Brian apply power say 12v dc to one pair of wires and see the stepper move 1 degree then the other pair and this would show if the motor can move or is bad electrically? Of course disconnect the boards from the wiring first! I’m not that familiar with steppers but I do know the board...

    What is ‘atomic ash’? Sounds like a comic book movie! Something is not translating. I think you mean auto body filler?

    Still Stupid after all these years.

    I’m not sure how these springs work. Is the at rest position fully extended? What keeps the spring from turning into a broken tape measure mess?

    Hey Ironman do you recall what shipping cost from those guys?

    Maybe we should all get lead screw covers (and power feed covers). Exposed moving machinery is not a good idea.

    What are those covers called exactly and where do you buy them? and once you have them installed how do you oil the lead screw?

    Tips/Techniques Engraving numbers

    The HAAS milling machine sort of does that. You can orient the spindle programmatically and there is a brake but it's just the motor holding it in place - it will wiggle if you turn it with you hand and then spring back to it's starting position. I'm not sure it's good enough to use as a shaper...

    Tips/Techniques Engraving numbers

    More thoughts on engraving/marking. I came across a very strange tool from a germany company AMF on the TItans CNC forum. https://shop.amf.de/ I think it's some sort of stylus. It is very fast on the CNC machines yet does not seem to spin. Maybe it works by pressure and is actually a drag tool...
