Chris: Voltcraft power supply & manual link in list

Power supplies are an essential tool for working with [[electronics]] [citation needed]. They come in various different shapes and sizes reaching from "wall warts", usually with a fixed voltage, to adjustable laboratory supplies. For usage it is important to know the specifications of the supply e.g. the maximum current and voltage output. For the most part power supplies output DC; for AC have a look at a [[transformer]].

== Adjustable Power Supplies ==
Adjustable power supplies, sometimes also referred to as laboratory power supplies, can be set up to output various currents or voltages within their specification. Some supplies can only be set to a given voltage, while others can also limit the current to a maximum value.

We have:
* ''' RND 320-KD3005D '''
** regulated power supply with max 30V/5A output
** adjustment in 10 mV or 1 mA steps
* '''Voltcraft LPS1305'''
** manual: [http://www.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/1300000-1399999/001380494-an-01-ml-VOLTCRAFT_LPS1305_LABORNETZG_de_en_fr_nl.pdf Conrad Produktinfo]

They are normally used for powering electronic circuits as they can output a broad range of voltages and can protect circuits from too high currents trough a current limit. Most laboratory supplies have isolated outputs meaning they are not referenced to ground. This allows for combining multiple supplies (in series or in parallel) to increase voltage of current and avoid shorts while working on grounded devices. To check whether a supply is isolated, take a look at the outputs. If there is, besides the positive and negative, a third (usually green) terminal then the supply is isolated. This third terminal is directly connected to ground, so in order to reference the supply to ground connect one of the outputs to it. Have a look at the manual in case something isn't clear or ask one of the tutors for the [[e.Room]].

** may also be two different programs, one for CAD and one for CAM
* a [[G-Code Senders|G-Code sender]]

=== Router ===

The router mounted to it is a Dewalt D26200 (GB). You need to consider the sizes of its collets (''Spannzangen'') when buying your router bits.

* no-load speed: 16000 - 27000 rpm
* max cutter diameter: 30 mm
* available collet diameters:
** 6 mm
** 8 mm
** 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
** 1/8 inch (3.175 mm)

The collets of the DW613, DW620 and DW621 also fit the router and are easier to get in Germany than the original ones.

=== G-Code Sender ===

After creating the tool paths in a suitable CAM software (e.g. [[Fusion 360]]) they need to be sent to the router in real time via the serial interface (USB). 
Our experiences can be found on: [[G-Code Sender]]

=== Spoiler board ===

Ooznest recommends a 6mm spoiler board, our first one is 20mm thick. It is mounted to the frame using 4 drop-in [[T-Slot Nuts|T-slot nuts]].

== Materials ==
=== Aluminum ===
With a lot of patience an the correct bits possible but check if it's millable aluminum
* differnt alloys of containing Cu, Si, Pb

==== Bits ====
maximum two cutting sides
carbide is more rigid than HSS and advised by some online guides
Tested 4mm 2-sided pointy-end bit with acceptable success

==== RPM, Speeds, etc. ====
Values are only the tested ones, faster CAN be possible as well
* slow RPM: 16 000 is our minimum but e.g. for a 4mm bit, 6000 RPM would be better
** different mill or PID-ing?
* Feed Rate/Schnittvorschub: ~200 mm/min
* Einfahrvorschub: 15-20 mm/min
* Ausfahrvorschub: 200 mm/min
* Helixvorschub: 15-25 mm/min
* Eintauchvorschub: 15 mm/min
* Depths: 0.25mm per pass

Milling directions (to be tested): Conventional/Up-Cut (Gleichlauf) milling milling for the basic different passes with a finish using Climb-milling/Down-Cut milling (= Gegenlauf)

===== Cooling =====
Not yet tested
* any sort of lubricant or coolant will increase the efficiency of aluminum milling
** there are suggestions ranging from cutting fluid over WD-40 to candle wax for lubing
** As coolant, a water or alcohol mist seems unsuitable with our pressboard
*** instead, using the air compressor might be a possiblity

=== POM/Acetal/Delrin ===

==== Bits ====
tested with 2 and 3 sided HSS Bits 4mm-6mm but no indication against any other diameters

==== RPM, Speeds, etc. ====
Spindle on level 1 (=16 000rpm)
* Schnittvorschub: 500mm/min +
* Einfahrvorschub: 500mm/min +
* Ausfahrvorschub: 500mm/min +
* Helixvorschub: 200mm/min +
* Eintauchvorschub: 30mm/min
* Depths: 2-3mm
Strongly advise a horizontal Rohteilaufmaß and a final finishing cut to remove any "layer" marks.

==== Cooling ====
Not neccessary with the current settings but might increase the cutting speeds drastically

CNC Router

2018-07-11T19:28:14Z

Chris: Added some settings - translation of the fusion-options is most welcome

[[File:CNC router.gif|right|400px]]
A CNC router is a computerized [[woodworking]] machine - basically a [[router]] mounted on a positioning system. While it may also be able to handle other materials than wood depending on the [[bits]] you use, a proper [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] is more precise for machining parts out of metals and other non-wood materials.

To use this machine, you need to familiarize yourself with at least two pieces of software:
* a [[CAD]]/[[CAM]] program (e.g. [[Fusion 360]])
** may also be two different programs, one for CAD and one for CAM
* a [[G-Code Senders|G-Code sender]]

There is also an interesting new approach of [https://shapertools.com/ handheld CNC routing] coming out which may remove the size constraints that come with any fixed-frame machine.

== Uses ==
You can [https://www.opendesk.cc/ make furniture] or even [https://wikihouse.cc/ build a house]. For more ideas, check out the [[CNC Milling Ideas]].

We built the 1500mm x 1500mm version of the [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2538752 WorkBee CNC], which is based on the Openbuilds OX. It can currently cut sheet material of up to 20 mm thickness on a work area of approximately 1250{{x}}1250 mm.

Details on setting it up can be found in [https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/8 issue #8] - maybe you would like to help?

=== Router ===

The router mounted to it is a Dewalt D26200 (GB). You need to consider the sizes of its collets (''Spannzangen'') when buying your router bits.

* no-load speed: 16000 - 27000 rpm
* max cutter diameter: 30 mm
* available collet diameters:
** 6 mm
** 8 mm
** 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
** 1/8 inch (3.175 mm)

The collets of the DW613, DW620 and DW621 also fit the router and are easier to get in Germany than the original ones.

=== G-Code Sender ===

After creating the tool paths in a suitable CAM software (e.g. [[Fusion 360]]) they need to be sent to the router in real time via the serial interface (USB). 
Our experiences can be found on: [[G-Code Sender]]

 

== Tips & Tricks ==
* to avoid tear-out at the edge of a sensitive workpiece, it may be worthwhile to surround it with some sacrificial material (like [[MDF]]) before routing [https://www.instagram.com/p/BW7hYEjFxP0/]

=== Spoiler board ===

Ooznest recommends a 6mm spoiler board, our first one is 20mm thick. It is mounted to the frame using 4 drop-in [[T-Slot Nuts|T-slot nuts]]. Cutting into the boards will make it uneven, from time to time it is neccessary to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xav1uvCN6yY surface the spoiler board] again.
=== Materials ===
== Aluminum ==
With a lot of patience an the correct bits possible but not economical at all:

= Bits =
maximum two cutting sides
carbide is more rigid than HSS and advised by some online guides
Tested 4mm 2-sided pointy-end bit with acceptable success

= RPM, Speeds, etc. =
- go up to speed level 3 or four with the spindle
- Schnittvorschub: max.100 mm/min
- Einfahrvorschub: 15-20 mm/min
- Ausfahrvorschub:can be 1000 mm/min
- Helixvorschub: 15-25 mm/min
- Eintauchvorschub: 15 mm/min
- Depths: 0,25mm tested

== POM/Acetal/Delrin ==

= Bits =
tested with 2 and 3 sided HSS Bits 4mm-6mm but no indication against any other diameters

= RPM, Speeds, etc. =
Spindle on level 1 (=16 000rpm)
- Schnittvorschub: 500mm/min +
- Einfahrvorschub: 500mm/min +
- Ausfahrvorschub: 500mm/min +
- Helixvorschub: 200mm/min +
- Eintauchvorschub: 30mm/min
- Depths: 2-3mm
Strongly advise a horizontal Rohteilaufmaß and a final finishing cut to remove any "layer" marks.

G-Code Senders

2018-07-11T17:50:16Z

Chris: /* CNCJS */

Here are some programs that let you send [[G-Code]] to our [[CNC Router|CNC router]].

==Temporary Notice==
This page right now serves as a documentation point for making our [[CNC Router|CNC router]] controllable via the network.

Once we tried different pieces of software and decided for one, this page will serve as a documentation point for how to use this software.

The installation scripts are hosted on [https://github.com/comakingspace/GcodeSender GitHub]

=Software Options=
== Using Your Own Computer ==
=== Univeral GCode Sender (Cross Platform) ===
Universal GCode Sender is a Java Program which was tested successfully with our CNC Router. If you decide to use it, please use the nigthly ("some what stable ugs classic interface"). 
Documentation and downloads can be found on their [https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/ Website].

=== bCNC ===
''This has its own page: [[bCNC]]''

=== Other Options ===
The [https://github.com/grbl/grbl/wiki/Using-Grbl Grbl-Wiki] provides an overview of GCode senders.

== Using the Attached Raspberry Pi (Network Control) ==
We have a dedicated Raspberry Pi attached to the CNC Router. It provides web based interfacing with the CNC Router.
=== GRBLWeb ===
GRBLWeb in principle works.
However, moving the Router manually (when trying to find the zero-location) is not very user-friendly.
In addition, it is missing proper buttons for homing and for unlocking the tool ($H and $X)
The other tools seem to be more feature rich.
===LaserWeb===
[[File:CNC_01.png|300px|thumb|right|Laserweb common settings]]
LaserWeb is originally designed to work with a [[Laser Cutter]]. However, it can also be used with CNC Routers. 
It is accessible on [http://comakingcnc:8000 "http://comakingcnc:8000"] 
A more detailed usage guide will follow soon. So far, you can read their [[https://github.com/LaserWeb/LaserWeb4/wiki Wiki]]

====Pro====
* Nice UI
* Camera Support (to be tried though)
* Tool path preview
* Gamepad Support ( :-D )
* Move the router using the numpad (when finding a zero location)
* Continues the job when running into a non-supported command
====Con====
* Continues the job when running into a non-supported command
 
===CNCJS===
CNCJs is accessible on [http://comakingcnc:8080 "http://comakingcnc:8080"] 
A more detailed usage Guide will follow soon. So far, you can read their [https://cnc.js.org/docs/user-guide/ user guide] or their [https://github.com/cncjs/cncjs/wiki wiki].
relatively straight forward, important:
1. Reset
2. Home
3. unlock
====Pro====
* Support for continuing the job after a non-supported command (can be activated in settings)
*Camera support (to try)
====Con====
* after closing the browser window while a job is running, you can not get back (but the job continues)
