What do you think of LinkMotion?

According to these guys im a freak of nature,i dont smoke,drink or behave like a rabbit.

There is nothing quite like that warm fuzzy feeling when you have just created something amazing.Thats another reason i like to also build as much of what ever im working on.that way i really feel like i have achieved something.And not have someone come along and say Oh all you did was put together a bunch of stuff someone else designed.

I think the mirrors i found on Ebay are 1inch diameter,those should work ok.

Im just watching the videos on youtube of your setup,its very nice,i actually found that a while back i just didnt realise it was yours.
Now that you mention it maybe using aluminium angle laid down on the open end would give me the same effect as the square tube mounted at 45 degrees.I may go down that route,just depends on what I can get hold of first,the chrome pipe or the Aluminium angle.The more i think about it the Ali angle is the better way to go,i save two bearings and the contruction (looking at the fuzzy picture in my mind) seems more simple.i will do two drawings,one of my current idea and one of the new idea.

I used a similar setup with my foam cutter,two lengths open side up withe the bearings running inside that.only thing was i used threaded rod,so i was limited to 950mm travel due the the length of threaded rod that was available.It also slowed things down,but that thing was strong :P
I want to use toothed belts tho for my laser,where did you get yours?

i should make my own thread for my build,since we not just talking about linkmotion anymore...I will figure it out in the morning/later.its bed time now :-z

We all have our own ideas,and these forums are great ways to get inspiration to improve on our ideas.The more people that build these machines the easier it becomes for the next person.I can see already that its probably easier for me than it was for you,since you just gave me all the information which you probably had to search for everywhere.

thanks

I just finished a video of the differences between a table top with a flat steel plate and one with the honeycomb top.
Here is the link.

This is for a low powered laser and probably wouldn't make much difference to a high powered one, say, 60 watt and above.
It all depends on the thickness of the material you are cutting so the slower you go the more chance of the gases combusting.

Can I upgrade Maxmotion to use it on a laser with the USB controller? It was previously used with a Newing Hall air Z axis.
