Another month has gone by. Any news?by Da3v - Handibot Forum
Well, steps were skipped, but not due to plunge rate. It turns out that a 61-040 bit chucked so that the end of the flute is just outside the collet will hit the bottom of the z axis travel approx 12mm below the surface of what the handibot is sitting on. It also turns out that even if I weren't hitting the end of my travel, there is only about 13.5mm of straight 1/8" diameter cutby Da3v - Handibot Forum
It looks like I had 1 inch per second instead of the suggested .75 inch per second for the 1/8" bit. Skipping a couple of steps during the profile plunge would definitely explain what I was seeing. Hopefully I will get a chance to try again tomorrow. Thanks!!!by Da3v - Handibot Forum
After owning a handibot for almost a year and a half I finally got a chance to make some cuts today. Since my Y limit switch is out of commission, I hand zeroed x, y, and z. I cut a piece that was 4 tiles wide using the large materials jig, and they came out mostly as expected, but I had 2 issues with z settings: 1) At the beginning of tiles 2, 3, and 4, I had to manually re-zero the z axisby Da3v - Handibot Forum
Here is what the switch looks like in context. (See attached)by Da3v - Handibot Forum
Also, make sure your switch didn't shear its cover off like mine did. (See attachment)by Da3v - Handibot Forum
I was hoping to avoid the guessing process when it came to trying to duplicate something that the ShobBot folks were doing as a demo, over and over at multiple faires.by Da3v - Handibot Forum
How realistic are the values in the VCarve Database? Is there any chance that the folks who have been demoing the heck out of the handibot the past few months could add a few values that have been working for them to the database? (What was used for the two color plastic key rings, etc?) Thanks, -Daveby Da3v - Handibot Forum
Got my hardware today! Tried installing software from the thumbdrive. The printed manual says that Partworks 3D is supposed to be installed, but I am only seeing ShopBot3, ShopBot Editor, and VCarve Pro ShopBot Edition, no PartWorks 3D. Is anyone else experiencing this?by Da3v - Handibot Forum
