Waiting for some epoxy to cure, and I happened to receive the QS18VP6D Banner sensor I had ordered when you posted about it, so I tested it. 17$ off eBay, no idea whether it’s the real deal or a clone, it did come in a Banner box though. I will connect one green LED to the inverted output and one yellow led + a buzzer to the non-inverted output
Now to 3D-print a box for this thing, and tune the sensivity potentiometer once it’s installed in my bin’s lid.
Anyway just wanted to say thank you for the tip.
You know you’re having a bad day when you run a toolpath that was supposed to come “really close to the machinable limits”, but you forgot you also have a door on your enclosure with a nice strudy locking mechanism, and a large dust shoe and hose to take into account. The door won, the dust shoe and steppers lost, the dust shoe got knocked off to the side its magnet attachements, and in the second it took to hit the E-stop, I managed to…MILL THE FRONT LENS OF MY DUST SHOE CAMERA
Probably so
There’s a reason those spindles are cheap(er)…He seemed to have done a good job though, as far as I can tell from the absence of vibrations across the RPM range.
Since this was a boring MDF cut I did not bother recording the job…sigh.
No pictures, but on my last job I took off the sweepy and set it on the machine bed to change the bit. When I continued the job I didn’t realize where I placed it was too close to the bit setter and collided with the spindle body losing all my Z steps as it tried to bit-set. Thankfully I was at a tool change and was able to re-initialize and kick off where I was.
