Mini wannabe datron build

made a little prelaunch video

Well, that escalated quickly.

Got a servo coming tomorrow to test, it is the same as the stepper online ethercat model, except direct from the factory.

Anyone get the stepper online ethercat servos working nice with linuxcnc yet? I've seen a lot of chat around the lichuan, but not these.

Progress. I cut the end frames down from the old machine so chips don't build up at the ends of the rails. this lets me reduce the safety margins and I get about 310mm y travel now. Also made a new top plate for the Z which increases clearance 10mm, and ups the travel to 112mm. Much smaller than the new version, but we don't have that yet sooo

Thanks for posting your progress, can't wait to see it in action.

thanks

soooon

All squared up, few more mechanical things to do, and then a bit of electrical and getting linuxcnc to use modbus spindle control.
