@SirGeekALot yes sir there is a direct pay. I have been going back and forth on getting it added and released. You just confirmed it is required. Will get this added and updated for the next release. Thank you again!
@Brandon_Satterfield LOL! Somewhat off-topic, but if you don’t mind my asking, what eCommerce software did you go with? I currently use Magento 1.9x (now deprecated version) and need to either move to Magento 2.x (non-trivial on my hosting company) or switch to something else. Feel free to email me (or not reply at all) if you don’t want to share that info publicly.
Ha, nothing closed here @SirGeekALot but your honestly asking questions well above my pay grade. SMW3D is hosted, this site I had built, started as an opencart theme. Resembles nothing of what it started. Pretty neat though, luckily have a guy I can trust and will hopefully be with the team for a while.
Congrats on the site! I was about to check out and noticed I was being charged Texas sales tax when I don’t live in Texas. I know you are still working out the bugs so I’m wondering how to complete the purchase.
EDIT: Never mind I see you addressed it above.
All refunds should now be complete. All shipments will be complete by Monday.
Thank you guys.
It says works with the 400W & 600W spindles. I have a 1.5KW, but would be curious to know where the center of the “tool circle” is in relation to the Z-Axis vertical V-Slot extrusion. I have 3D printed mounts and if mine is in the same (or very close) location, I would be interested. I have made my own boot, but am not really happy with it and yours definitely has features that I thought to add to mine but just haven’t had the time/means yet.
Quick feedback: it doesn’t work with the “quick and dirty” spindle mount (a.k.a. - metal pipe clamps). The spindle is too close to the z axis extrusion and doesn’t line up with the hole as a result. I guess I need to cut or 3D print a new spindle mount. 
That being said, it’s kind of overdue…
@Brandon_Satterfield On a related note, are the CAD drawings for the spindle mount(s) you used while testing this dust boot available?
@SirGeekALot I’ll add this to the list today brother. Should be fine to print.
@Nathan_Lucier apologize about the delay in response not sure if the exact Y away from Z beam but will post files today that can be compared.
My boot has arrived today. I will try to capture installation process on video and share.
Thank you @Rob_Mitchell that will be great .

@Brandon_Satterfield I’ll 3d print a couple of these tonight when I get home. Thanks!
Curious if anyone has hooked up the dust boot yet?
Still straightening out my bristles that got deformed in packaging. I tried a hair dryer and that seemed to help. I should have the boot installed by this weekend and will share pictures. On a related note, can you recommend what I would need to buy to add the laser to it? Do you sell a kit at smw3d that works with your OX kit?
@Michael_Forte interesting your brushes haven’t straighten out. Packaging still needs a hard look.
Anyone else have any issues not coming back to true?
Imagine installing and beating them up may do it as well.
On the laser, think the link was in that rough draft manual emailed out. It’s the J-tech 2.8mW.
@Brandon_Satterfield I did as you recommended and left it upside overnight and the bristles are fine. Regarding the clamp, I 3D printed 2 last night, but after looking at them, they seem too thin and I don’t trust them not to break. Also not so sure how the clamping screw would work. I guess this is a model designed for metal (aluminum?) only. I guess I’ll need to whip something up in FreeCAD using this as a starting point (so the spindle center still lines up for the dust boot).
@SirGeekALot Instead of a screw I was thinkiabout something like this. https://www.norelem.de/xs_db/BILD_DB/0/www/750/03193-Kugelsperrbolzen-selbstsichernd-Ball-lock-pins-self-locking.jpg
It would still lock the Plexiglas pieces together but be quicker/easier to remove and replace.
@Michael_Forte That sounds great, but I’m talking about the spindle mount. I currently have the “quick and dirty” mount, which is basically just metal straps/pipe clamps. The distance to the center of the spindle is different with the OpenBuilds metal mounts, which makes the hole in the boot for the spindle different, so I need to either modify my mount, modify the dust boot, or use a different dust boot. I’m trying the first option since my spindle “mount” is really just a hack job.
@SirGeekALot I see what you are talking about. I originally had the metal pipe straps from the OX kit but upgraded to the smw3d aluminum clamps. I upgraded because I couldn’t seem to get a perfect vertical alignment with the straps since the spindle is basically wedged against those corners which have some play in them depending on where they are tightened down in the track.
If you are going to stay with the pipe straps, then you can probably just put some spacers behind the spindle until it is centered in the boot. I like your idea of drawing up some clamps in cad and 3d printing them. You can get a nice tight fit with that.
@donkjr had a chance to stick a TinyG on the 600w and PSU combination.
Just like the small spindle speed control, I was unable to use settings to obtain a linear fit. This was feeding the 3.3v PWM signal directly to the ESC/PSU.
Now… taking the available input to the ESC/PSU, I added a PWM to 0-10v converter. Same as I used to use to bridge the TinyG to a VFD.
Feeding the PWM signal into the converter and exporting to the 0-10v of the ESC input, things got a little better but 1k to 3k Hz I still could not achieve the 13280 this spindle makes.
A little testing and seemed at full phase the little PWM to 0-10v converter would only put out ~6vdc max. Assuming it is looking for the common 0-5v PWM signal this may not be surprising. Although the converter states it will take input as low as 3v I’ve had this issue prior.
I had to get crafty. Noting that I was limiting at ~6v I looked at the ESC and noted a 0-5v input.
Making a change to the max output at 1k Hz on the converter board (max voltage at 5V) I fed this signal to the ESC. The fit is ok. The worst delta being around lower RPMs showing 500.
I focused on 10k Rpm being spot on. Higher RPMS slowly increase as one hits the max (M3 s12000 = 12129) while the power drop below (M3 S5000 = 4789).
