rceja,
I think shipping to Mexico would be cost prohibitive. :)

Domino is absolutely correct.

Shipping to Mexico, will cost something like 500$ so it's not at all cost worthy.

I got my set from Joe (alabama), dont remember the price, but it was not that expensive. it was about 500 dlls including s&h, was november 2008

find another way.

I know it's blasfemic to post this in my thread here at the mechmate forum. But my new build has come alive...

Have a look at this video.

Enjoy

Kim,
What is blasfemic is we see this other build rolling before we can appreciate seeing your final bleu beast build rolling :confused:

Robert, my final Blue beast is now owned by Mike, also here from Randers. And it is rolling nicely I might add... :-D
I do think he has some footage in here. I'm not sure though.

Yes it's rolling nicely any you can see it here.

switched with Gecko G203.

Aaaa….caught again at speaking to fast…. :o
Now I remember….after looking back at Mike’s 1st post !!
Well…. Good luck with this other build and hop to see some progress in photos ?
Later, Robert ;)

YEEPEEEEEEEEEEE.... :D:D:D:D:D

Build thread on cnczone updated with a few pictures, and the first real cuts...

By the way, did I mention that the machine actually is finished? :D

Here's a little picture of my cuts for this day. The parts are covers for my stepper motors. They are double shafted so this makes the dust stay away from the opening at the shaft. Please excuse the poor qut quality, the bit I was using needs to be sharpened.

Function over form....works for me! Nicely done.

Why didn't I think of that!
Good job & good idea!

Well though KIM

That wooden cover acts as a heat insulator and makes the motor run hotter.

Those covers look very simular to these. You could do the same thing and use a cord grip to take car of you wires. http://www.dyengineering.com/IP40.html

Just incase others are interested they do not make Nema 34 covers yet just 23. I was told to keep an eye out on the Mach3 forum in a few months. They might pop up over there.

Regnar.

Those covers looks very neat. Too bad they don't make them for NEMA34 yet.

Yesterday I surfaced the table, and the motors barely got past 40C when running at 6m/min, so I don't think I need to be worried about the heat.

Today was a sad day in my life.
I do need to work full time to earn the money I need to buy the parts for my CNC.
And last night was no different than any other night. But however, my morning was. My garage was broken into, and the thieves gutted my CNC completely. There's only the base table left of the machine, they took everything else. All the elctronics, motors, even the entire Gantry assembly which weighs almost 130kg's.. So today I have been rather blue and down. I'm hoping to discover who stole my parts, but I'm affraid I'll never see them again. I'm glad that I have home owners insurance. But still, it's quite the set back for me.

Kim,
Sorry to hear that! Hope the homeowners insurance covers things for you ok! :)

sorry.
 

I am really sorry to hear you say that.
I am afraid that the same thing could happen to me because the place where I am building my MM it's no so safe.
Sorry again.:(:mad:

Kim, Sorry for you loss. I had stuff stolen from me and it takes awhile to get over the feeling. I was not a happy camper for quite some time. I hate freaking thieves.:mad:

Kim, I feel sorry for your loss.
Hey, its only a temporary set back, look at the bright side, the insurance will cover your monetary losses, you got twice the fun building your MM then I do! On top of that, you WILL have a better build at the second go with the experiences gained! It's a blessing in disguise!

Kim, sorry for your loss. Hope you recover from it soon and don't let the thieving B%#^ards get you down.

Kim, I dont know what to say, having recently gone through the same thing I know how you feel - its devestating but we get over it and have to move on. Keep a positive mind and keep moving forward.

...if only the world had more honest people. Kim, truly sorry for your loss. I effectively had my machine #5 stolen too, know the feeling.

Sean

Man, that really hit's a guy hard. I have had a car and a motorcycle taken from me before...No insurance on the bike either...ouch that was, so I know how you feel. Hang in there, and you will get through it in your own time. There is a lot of great people here to help cheer you on and get your spirits up. I wish you the best, and strive to stay positive.

Travis

Did they take any of your tools? Seems odd if you had tools all over and they took the time to strip a gantry. Most people look at these machines and don't even begin to know what all the pieces are. Not to make a paranoid comment but someone who knows electronics or knows you (both maybe) may be your culprit.

Sorry for your loss !!! For sure !!

Contact local scrap yards and pawn brokers with photos to see if anyone has tried to sell these or scrap these items.

And check your local 'ebay' and marketplace internet websites. Often that stuff is sold separately because they can't sell for a good price anywhere else.

The scary thought is that the thief knew what he was targeting, and that he could be a member on this forum or any other that Kim posts on. :mad:
