bor 454 DIY
I've been working for months to finish a DIY plan set for my new build and wanted to share. This mechanical frame is designed using mostly OpenBuilds components/hardware with other easy to source parts. It can be powered by pretty much any controller but was built specifically around the BuildBotics...

"Go To Home" button work around
Just wanted to share a tidbit that we discovered, and is a real time saver in the shop. On the settings screen, in our program end dialog box we put a code that lifts the spindle to its highest point whenever a job finishes (G53 G0 Z7).

Re: Slaved axis Lag
*Issue resolved* Had extra pairs of eyes this morning helping to work out why this is happening. It appears that the slaved motor keeps moving a split second longer than the other when the switch is triggered. A pretty simple work around was to add a hard stop on the slaved side, Ran a dozen or so h...

Slaved axis Lag
There might be an electronic "lag" issue on larger, tethered axies machines. This is my second large format project with the buildbotics controller. I'm getting a consistent issue with the main (Y/switch side) axis homing 1/16" out of square with the joined (A/free side) on each. Both machines show ...
