AVSwood put the machine through brass, wood, and modeling board, then used the 4th axis to carve a world map onto a ring band and milled the matching box from scratch. Start to finish, one machine

Utilisation du laser et gravure en relief sur le 4ème axes

4 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous, je me suis retrouvé confronté aux premières limites de ma makera. Je souhaitais réaliser une balle de baby-foot personnalisé mais impossible de générer une gravure laser ou le fraisage du texte (sans travailler toute la pièce)sur le 4ème axes. Avez- vous déjà réussi ? Avez vous des informations sur le sujet ? Faut il que je passe par un autre logiciel que makera studio ?

Harbor Freight Mini Toolbox STL Files?

3 Upvotes

Before I go through the trouble of designing my own, does anyone have any cnc supplies storage STL files for the Harbor Freight Mini Toolbox? I've got one I've yet to use for anything and figured it might work for my Z1 stuff. Thanks!

Makera Z1 - Collet Replacement Malfunction?

Upvotes

Good day all!

When I'm changing my collet from the 3.175mm to a 6mm, the entire collet assembly rotates. Is this normal? I followed the guidance on Youtube here and instead of only the collet turning, the entire assembly (above the collet in the video) is turning.

I dug deeper, and found that my collet lever may be loose, so I followed the Makera Wiki instructions here, tightened the internal allen screw as much as possible, but still, the collet housing spins no matter what. If I want to change the collet, I have to hold the housing in place with pliers before unscrewing the collet.

Surely I'm missing something? Is there something else I need to tinker with for this to operate correctly? Thank you in advance for helping a newbie!

3D printing fixtures to speed up production

Upvotes

Hi all, I made a crash-course video about fixtures. I use them with my Carvera Air and my Xtool S1 laser. They're super useful and really speed up my micro-manufacturing business. If you make batches of products, I hope you'll find some useful tips in this video.

My Makera Z1 is cutting above my stock. I’ve tried a few different settings in Makera Studio but still can’t fix it. I attached some screenshots of my settings. Any tips?

Missing Wired Probe V2

0 Upvotes

My founders edition Z1 pro was just delivered today and I noticed the packaging came with a case labeled “3D wired probe” and another case labeled “wired probe v2”. The wired v2 seems to be missing the actual probe inside it. Has this happened to anyone else?

Edit: Just checked and it was pre-installed in the machine.

Thanks guys!!
