nice vid, late to the party- Q: how did you determine the eccentricity amount? i frame by framed and it looked like 100thou//2.5mm?

@TomMakeHere 14 күн бұрын

@dumpy4289 to be honest, it was a guess based on what seemed reasonable and didn't destroy the screw head. If it didn't work I would have tried something else

Works every time or just when there's a symmetrical pattern that's the same after you flip the tape?

@TomMakeHere 27 күн бұрын

Yes, true it will flip the pattern, but you can always put the tape sticky side up and tape it in place for those patterns. Just less convenient of course

Nice project 👍😀 I have a question... Would a stepper motor a good idea for a setup like this ?.... It overshoots the limit switches much less and for the down feed more accurate to set for each step/distance per feed down??... And how much did you spend on this setup ?...

Very nice Tom. Why the DC motor instead of a Stepper? Was there some advantage? Thanks. Regards.

@TomMakeHere 29 күн бұрын

Absolutely a reason; stepper motors have torque at low speed, DC have torque at higher speed. The table needs to travel/change direction quickly. I might do a follow up video on some of the thought processes that went into the video

Arguably a silly question, but would you mind covering how you determined the load capacity of this gantry? Is it just sheer load for the I-beam and compressive load for the A-frames? Whatever the lowest load between those two, that's what your max load for the gantry is?

@TomMakeHere 3 ай бұрын

Need to consider bending and shear of the beam, a central load causes maximum bending and at an end is max shear. Also compression in the a frames, a bit of allowance for the brace inducing bending, and the caster rating. But yes the lowest capacity component is what will limit the rated capacity. It also needs a factor of safety of course, so you aren't right on the limit

@williams.7314 3 ай бұрын

@@TomMakeHere This is generally calculated through the ratings based on gauge and length? I wonder if there's a pocket field guide that's "engineering for idiots".

@TomMakeHere 3 ай бұрын

@williams.7314 yeah I'm a bit hesitant to give any definite answers on capacities for fear of someone getting hurt. Iys hard because different parts of the world have different material strengths and sizes so it's a bit tricky to advise as it's a global audience 😅

Don't dilute the vinegar. Leave any iron/steel in it for about 3 days, and it's as clean as a whistle. Buy it by the 5 litre flagon from most bulk grocery stores. Cheaper the better.
