Yes, the OpenBuilds anti-backlash nut, made from durable Delrin plastic, is designed for long-term use and excellent wear resistance, ensuring reliable performance over time.

Yes, you can build a CNC with this machine, but it is more suitable for light-duty applications such as lasers and drawbots, as it may not handle heavy forces on the system. If you are interested in a CNC-style router machine, please consider checking out our LEAD Machine series here: openbuildspartstore.com/lead-cnc-1010-40-x-40/

@@OpenBuilds I did. They did not help. I sent another message haven't heard back. I would love to use it though. They only sent me copy and pasted material.

@@iwannaapple7190 OpenBuilds can provide support, when possible, but unfortunately, we do not have the "Demon Controller" in our inventory. Therefore, to ensure the most accurate information, we recommend reaching out to the manufacturer directly or posting your questions on the OpenBuilds forum. On the forum, you will have access to individuals with varying experiences and knowledge who may be able to assist you. openbuilds.com/forums/

@@OpenBuilds I heard from them again and I appreciate your responses too. My only problem is there is another chip card on top of the Arduino board. I don't see any bolts holding it there but something is and I don't want to go around and yanking on anything to access the Arduino board. I'm not familiar with how things like that are usually done. But they have offered a return. I either sell the demon or buy the blackbox OR figure out what is holding down the demon shield chip card that is on top of the Arduino. I just wish the reviewer on openbuilds website would have explained how he did it. Thats the only reason I bought it-that and my battery swelling that I had to replace on my laptop for long carve times.

Thank you for your kind words! The LEAD 1010 uses a lead screw for driving. You can look over the parts list of the Plasma Add on here and see if you could modify it to make it work with your machine. A great thing about OpenBuilds parts are they are modular in their nature. openbuildspartstore.com/lead-cnc-1010-plasma-add-on/

Hello, the Genmitsu PROVerXL 4030 uses a standard tool length sensor connection, which should be compatible with the wiring and functionality of the XYZ. Here are the wiring docs for the XYZ probe, which should help docs.openbuilds.com/doku.php?id=docs:xyzprobe:wiringgeneric

After my test run it is still up for question as to if open loop vectors can be cut. I saw the OpenBuilds wrench guy design file in this video was updated to not have the fold lines cut as open loops rather indents. That could have just been for added strength though. In my test run I did a few straight lines and the software simply cut from right to left and then just cut a straight path back to the start of the line left to right. I also did an "L" shape, and it started in the corner and cut out one direction cut back to corner then cut the other direction and cut back to corner again. Better than previous where it would cut diagonal and not follow lines, but still double cutting some paths which can lead to issues. I have not tried any open loop designs with an arch yet, So I am not sure what path the return cut would take. Guess this is something I need to test. I want to add I do love the OpenBuilds App and will continue to use it. I will just need to be sure all of my designs have closed loops or do a test run to verify double cuts don't cause issues.

@@digitizer101 Thank you for the feedback and for the kind words. We love CAM too and continue to work on it as we are able. Please post any findings into the git issues so they can be added to the fixes cue. github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CAM/issues

Thank you for getting in touch. It's important to note that diode lasers are most effective on materials that can absorb light. Thus, they may not be the best option for cutting clear or white acrylic since these materials reflect laser light instead of absorbing it. For cutting clear and white acrylic, CO2 lasers are generally the better choice.
