Is that carbon fiber? What controller are you using? Grbl/TinyG?

Hence the quiet cut spindle as well.

Is that carbon fiber?

also, what is your $5 rate (assuming you are running grbl 0.8)? It looks like you could move much much faster when you aren’t cutting. I just updated mine and it is nice to see the machine move way faster when it isn’t doing cuts.

@jlauer
Hello! It’s G10 Glass Fiber and I’m using GRBL and gShield :slight_smile:

@Marc_Schaefermeyer
I miss my quiet spindle… lol

@Dat_Chu
Yo Dat! It’s 1/4" G10 :slight_smile:

How thick is that fiber? Looks like the DeWalt is tearing through it with no hiccups.

@Frank_Graffagnino
Hey Frank! YES!! Thats one thing I notice, it moves really slow when not cutting! How can I adjust that speed? I’m using Meshcam for my gcode… I dont know what version of GRBL I’m using to b honest.

11

@Marc_Schaefermeyer Yo Marc! Quick question for u… do u know how to adjust the pencil clean up depth? it seems that when it’s cutting it goes a t a good depth, but once it does the pencil clean up it goes really deep into the waist board

You can use ChiliPeppr to send your Gcode and just up the Feedrate Multiplier to go faster. It scans thru your Gcode and multiplies all the “F” values automatically before you send the Gcode off.

13

@jlauer hey John… but how complex is ChilliPeppr tho? i have 5% experience with CNC’s it might become overwhelming to my poor knowledge… lol

14

@Neal_Wallace Hey Neal! it’s 1/4" so far no issues… I did notice however that the finish it’s a little rusher then with the quiet spindle… I wonder if there’s a way around it?

15

I would say it’s easier than other software because it’s just a browser app. It’s like navigating to Gmail or Facebook. One you’re at the webpage, download the Serial Port JSON Server and run it like any app. Done.

@jlauer
hhhmm… i’ll give it a try! Does Chilli Peppr takes STL files??

17

No. ChiliPeppr only takes Gcode (or as of 2 days ago Eagle BRD files).

18

@jlauer
Oh I see… so Chilli Peppr will replace GRBL! :slight_smile:

@Frank_Graffagnino Frank my $5 is 250.000, what would u recommend?

Thanks!

@javierymirna I’m guessing that it’s the stock depth inside of meshcam might be bigger than your material. Did you get some calipers and measure it?
