i was cutting .040 5052 the other day with my shopbot. straight cut 1/4" (double flute) bosch bit, .7 inches per second, maybe 15,000 rpm? i get an old windex bottle full of soapy water and spritz the bit every so many seconds. the bit will pull the fluid into the cutting edge. there are...

76 and raining... live near the coast (south of houston). if you ever fantasized about what it might be like to live near the coast, you can stop that right now. it's a swamp with about 4 nice months a year. can't wait to move to the desert someday.

ceramic air dry coating. i bought a sample of some and found it to be the hardest most invisible coating. it has no detectable thickness and doesn't kill the flash of metals like a coating. can't find the supplier for the one i tested, but the product is much like this one...

just spent three days researching this very very thoroughly. so many options out there. then it comes to disecting who has the best SEO, client approval sections, cross platform (ipad, phone, desktop, etc). in the end i sprang for aphotopholio (it has an amazing pdf downloader for your...

.020 PETG? cheaper and more flexible than polycarb

i've mounted aluminum to thick acrylic, forward bevel cut it and polish the edge. it's a really popular finish option. don't think it's ever a stock option.

search this board for the words "data swap" to learn about isolating issues at the head (error 07) vs the carraige/slider board. also, do you have a service manual (different from the owners manual)? pm me your email address and i will send you one.

many questions... first most important one, when you say you ipa'd them. what does that mean. and did you turn on your machine with all the ribbon cables in inverted positions? if so, the error 07 all the way across may mean you fried your slider board (at best) possibly heads. slider...

i like it. it might be a bit too moody to brand across what other clients might expect the work you do for them.

this was my issue for years. i wouldn't print for four weeks at a time. but didn't want to decommission the printer. the easiest way to get around this was to get a separate set of dampers, some tubing, and a bunch of t-fittings, and a plastic container or spare clear cart. make a tubing...

Found it! i found it! i had a crack in the air line. it seems to be getting old and brittle. i put some "GOOP" glue with a tiny strip of t-shirt material to hopefully seal it up. BELOW IS A CUT/PASTE FROM @banners2go he's been crucial over the last months helping me get this printer set...

Getting somewhere? i think i've got a clue to what's going on. the pressure drops as specific points on the gantry. i've attached photos to show this. i'm assuming that some thing is pulling within the cable assembly or maybe on the head carriage that at these positions opens up a leak or...

update: 1- it does not leak when parked at the left. but with the machine off, while moving the head carriage, it does leak. predominantly from the back M head, a little from the front M head. 2- the pump sustains a constant hum throughout sending prints and when at rest 3- when setting...

i'll take a look at these areas and check the temp. also need to confirm if it is one head or both. my magenta heads were printing better than any of the heads. then a few days back printing black outlines for stencils on styrene, i noticed the leak very profoundly start with no minor...

i have an issue. (deadlines for monday and now the printer wants to act up!) my daytona (aka rastek H700) is leaking magenta heavily. i noticed that each time the head carriage goes to the left the negative pressure drops out then regains itself going back to the right. no other colors are...

i believe cast with flame polished has cracked (the right term is craze) on me before with spray paint being applied afterward. the flame polished edge is shrunken (tightened like the head of a drum). some fluids can break that surface tension thus the edge crazes.

i remember when i first started using onyx. i felt that i needed three separate monitors to control what i was used to seeing access to with one monitor with my old rip. compare that to caldera which lets one build a custom interface. i've used onyx 10PH and now i'm stuck with onyx 7 on a...

take a good photo of the effect. also are your pinch rollers clean? they can get gummed and leave tracks.

i just took the boards off my old fj50 that i haven't used in about ten years. pm me.
