Stepper motors with something called B5005B drivers. Supposed to be 5amp driver boards. I think it's a chopper type drive like a geko.
The cut out you see is 13mm thick PVC. I set the Z axis depth to .5". An mdf board is used as a base. The bit just scratched the mdf evenly on the entire cut 1 pass @ 7ipm. 7ipm is not much, but it gets the job done. 15min for each piece. The neon tube is getting mounted to the cutouts you see. These are then mounted to a lighted sign cabinet with double faces. I think you can see this is not a hobby for me. I'm a total newbie to cnc, if it wasn't for this forum this machine would not work. |
