I would have ended up destroying it with my poor soldering skills. I also found a local CNC group that helped me with EMC2. I never would have been able to proceed without these good people. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/how-to-video-controller-board-solder-and-assembly/page/2#post-541 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 19:39:30 +0000 Chris 541@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>See <a href="http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/hobbycnc-board?replies=3#post-540">this post</a> for a link to great, illustrated, step-by-step instructions for assembling the HobbyCNC Pro Chopper driver board. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/hobbycnc-board#post-540 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 19:35:40 +0000 Chris 540@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Also, the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HobbyCNC/">HobbyCNC Yahoo Group</a> has <a href="http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/ME9DTCZUk0i1S6udvSea4KEdcRLBSwgGcQlPVLuK8M5kHcqkmQUri_M8atP_Estf7IJvQxZXKlQIGj8lai7bNFAv6-cHDa8Am1onVM3BvSAVuhM/Detailed%20HobbyCNC%20Construction%20Manual.pdf">great, illustrated, step-by-step instructions for assembling the HobbyCNC Pro Chopper driver board</a>. </p> <p>The Yahoo group is exclusive to customers of <a href="http://www.hobbycnc.com">HobbyCNC.com</a>.

From there I tweaked the outlines to fix the y-belt problem and make a few lines square. I started out working parametrically but I ran into computer speed/Solidworks reliability issues (crashing every 5 minutes and 10 minute rebuilds proved too much for me)</p> <p>As it stands now they are separate pieces (with a few exceptions) I'm thinking next round should go through with a better system and link all the sloth widths etc. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-509 Wed, 26 May 2010 11:06:00 +0000 tkluysk 509@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@Chris: thanks again for the Rhino model. I read on the download page that it doesn't reflect the latest fixes, so I'll probably re-model from the latest drawings, and use whatever parts I can salvage from the Rhino model (bearings etc).</p> <p>@Jaques: is that what you did for the Solidworks model? Start from the latest DXFs I mean. Beautiful work bytheway!</p> <p>I can't open Solidworks file at this time, so I wonder: is the file parametric? Ie if you change the line drawing, does the corresponding 3D part change along with it? Is there a single template slot that changes all slots on the model? </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-505 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:10:10 +0000 Chris 505@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Gorgeous!! </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-504 Thu, 20 May 2010 21:37:08 +0000 Jacques 504@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I just completed a Solidworks 2009 version (down to the nuts and bolts) available in the download section with the explanation and a couple changes (like fixing the y belt holes) at <a href="http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/">http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/</a></p> <p>Here's the image:<br /> <img src="http://betaorbust.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/DIYLILCNC.jpg" /></p> <p>All the best,<br /> Jacques </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-484 Sun, 09 May 2010 09:08:03 +0000 tkluysk 484@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Rhino would be perfect! Thanks! </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-481 Sat, 08 May 2010 18:44:33 +0000 Chris 481@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@tkluysk, we have a model in Rhino (.3ds) format that we use for rendering and visualization. Not sure how it'll transfer to DXF, but I'll send you an attachment. Let me know if it's useful and maybe we'll post it in the downloads section for others. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-479 Sat, 08 May 2010 00:33:28 +0000 tkluysk 479@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>[reposting this under its own topic]</p> <p>I am interested in the assembled 3D model. I'd like to use it to visualize a length modification, and maybe to help me with the conversion to metric.</p> <p>I come from a film background, so I'm not very familiar with CAD packages. I work in Maya/Houdini/3D Max. Preferred formats would be DXF (3D), OBJ, or FBX. As long as grouping/hierachy is preserved. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/how-to-video-controller-board-solder-and-assembly/page/2#post-470 Sat, 01 May 2010 06:19:28 +0000 tkluysk 470@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Hey DIYengineer!

We'll address that in the next release. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/y-belt-rubbing#post-393 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:54:14 +0000 Bill 393@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I was working on the final mechanical assembly and ran into an issue with the Y-Belt exit holes in both the Vertical Brace Front and Back. They seem to be too high, causing the Y-Belt to rub. I think the centers of these holes should be horizontally aligned with the bottoms of the lower bearing bolts, but they seem to be aligned with the tops, instead. </p>
