i understand the cnc... i mean a regular crappy cnc. i'm comparing a $500 saw to say a $10,000 shopbot. as for cnc/router comparison. i used to lay my really sensitive parts in my cnc. i'd have a precut line in the table and i'd line my mark on my part up with the foremost cutting edge of...

i understand that. say you drop your blade to the least resistant height (the resistance upward is coming off the back of the blade). if that material get tilted upward off the front of the table which is easy to do on a very long part (7-10 feet) the blade can get under that part. i've very...

here's what i did to mine. but, i just got off the phone with tdvs72198 earlier and he has each line going to a separate bottle! brilliant! so i'm switching my waste area to separate bottles. ...using little bottles with a pinhole breather and just put the ink back in my refillable carts.

pull that magenta line from the waste bottle (later get the entire harness running outside of the machine if you haven't already). have a partner dump solution down that cap while someone else pulls aggressively at the end of the waste line with a syringe. you can also work the waste line with...

i am lusting at the thought of a true flatbed. you could cut some acrylic, any shape, polish the edges, drill the holes! everything that jeopardizes the part, then print! flip the part and with pinhole registers print directly on the opposite side of the part! gahh! with a pinch roller...

agreed on the grit roller. maybe a transfer belt. using a grit roller to move the media is nothing but extremely lazy engineering. extremely lazy. the issue is slight warps in media create not just high spots but create upward energy onto the pinch/springs. this results in reduced friction...

i don't like cutting lightweight substrates on a table saw. the saw inherently is trying to throw the sheet out. a featherboard can be used but still the blades energy is going the wrong direction. a track saw pulls the track and the saw together. if i'm cutting something down that has $500...

do whatever you can to figure that woman out. the world is not the same as is used to be. divorce... i've been divorced for six years now. just got custody of my 12 year old daughter (her mom moved in, had a baby, and married a heinous boyfriend. in that order). i've accumulated $25k in...

kinda breezed through the thread. really sorry for you man this one is probably really easy just illusive to figure out. the dampers swap. what happens with you cross the yellow lines? does the drop out move to the other side of the head? that is crucial. if it does. from the manifold down...

i have service, tech drawing, supplements, and two head install and allignment procedure pdfs. that said, they are the worst translated doc i've seen in a while. you'd think a giant company with US engrish speaking reps, would have had a chance to edit the translation.

from what i've read after doing a lot of research, china equals bad (except for skyjet), taiwan much better, korea very very good. so not all asian manufacturers as a group can be lumped together. after all, japan is an "asian" manufacturer. i looked at the nicholas hellmuth sight and could...

yeah that second page is a doozy. i was horrified at how bad the printer suddenly printed. from reading the second page, all the print adjust #2 settings were tossed. went from perfect to horrible.

this was definitely helpful. now i can't find my epson loupe. where might an emergency loupe be bought out in the suburbs?

do get the cheapest circle saw they have. because it will never do the job in the end. after that, beg him for a track saw. festool and delwalt make one. festool tx55 is a really nice lightweight one. i've got the ts75. it is a beast.

i kind of remember seeing a thread a few months ago about someone finding some print head alignment tutorials on the web. does that sound familiar? i've installed two heads and moved one down. so now my jv3 is printing out of whack. (i need to do the print adjust 2 and get it done quickly...

as for the stepper part, i'd be just bringing in a guy to do that. houston area has so many cnc guys. the platen could also be done with a vacuum track. ...use a plate of aluminum and router grooves. i've done this before with other vacuum platens and it allows for a thin part. looking...

i think one of it's purposes is to print dye sub ink across an assembled garment. so the image goes from the sleeves to the body etc.

as far as the options, a used vutek or fuju acuity or arizona 250gt is very very high on the list. i even considered a very cheap oce t220. i am freaked out about service. maybe these industrial machines easy to work on? maybe they will cost $3000 a year for techs? i bastardize every machine...

i'm wondering if it's a belt noise. it's more likely that the belt can suddenly stretch to the perfect length thereby allowing all the teeth to meet up perfectly instead of thousands of micro chirps per second. mine did this about 6 months ago. i started using "fast print" and since then all...
