Life keeps getting in the way. Trying to get back to getting it working again. What board and version would you pick at this time (8 months later)? I know you like dev but what other programs can be used with your recommended board to make wings and plane profiles? Here we are years down the road and I still don't have it running! Thanks for the video and help.

Great video and 2 very nice planes you have built. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Norway

At 6:10 there is movement of the dog axis! I was getting worried!

Hi Keith. Nice maiden. Great to see another vid from you. I still can't thank you enough for all the work you did on the CNC foam cutter

Brill Keith no walk of shame

Hey Kieth you good Long time no see

keith i have a sugestion, can you resize the Monitor list(the box who list the commands) we lose at least 4 lines because the box doesnt fit at the screen , and i'm using 1980x1024 resolution.

So this will cut foam board as well??

Hi, DXFtoDAT exe from your link does not work, was it updated since your video? Thank you

Hello Keith, what is the minimum monitor size to work with the grbl 5x software? I want to use a 15 inches monitor with touch screen, do you know if fit the screen software on a 15 inches monitor?

I flashed the firmware using Mac via avrdude and things seems to be working fine. Is there a way to reverse the direction of the motors without without modifying the code directly. Maybe a gcode value

Hi Keith! Hope you are ok, and thanks for all the work you share with us! I know i'm 3 years behind with this question, how do you get the g code out of Jedicut, and where does it store the file, scratching my head here!? I have a Devwing foam2 license, but this .dat shit anoys me, i'm using Vectric and SW and those programs does not help me with .dat . Hope you have a nice summer with good weather and much flying, Regards, Peter, Sweden

Have you heard about GrblGru? A wing creator was added for foam cutting. This software offers some nice features like creating cuts from svg or dxf data. With that you can create custom cutouts for example for fuselage walls where the wingprofile must be cut out. I can only recommend it!

how can i downlord software arduino or mega, thank for this video.

Thank you so much. Great job. Seems that there is an error in the description of the input for A-Min endstops, using a 2560 and Ramps 1.4 I'm sure of my switch as it works if I put it into an other "channel", i can see it switching like a charm. For A-Min I tried D49 and not working. It seems that the preset are fixed for D42 instead. By the way would it be possible to upload the source of the Mega2560 code, it would enable us to change in/out depending on our 'old wiring' For the software some color (ie especially for axis) would be nice, it would enable to 3dprint part of each axis with a color and refer to this color in the sofware, the no more error in moving an axis instead of an other. PS : if you need french translation do not hesitate, some of the implemented one are badly translated :-(

Thank you :-)

Thanks Keith. Looks like i have another project to build 🙂

from the schematics i've seen for the RAMPS board it looks like you can only have up to 5A for the circuit that powers the stepper motors. Is there a way to increase this?

Yes thats sad, it was a beautiful build and the vc10 is eye candy when its just sitting there. This must always be an issue with working models, hours and hours spent put into recreating authentic detail when all that can be wiped out in a second. There is another vid on yt of a flying model vc10. Here the props are not in the cowling so can be bigger.

What can you do if the PDF is just an embedded image and wont ungroup into different components?

Nice to see there´s a 3d-printz directory on your machine :). Thank you so much for your work Keith! Just wanted to let you know i´m currently cutting parts with the new software for the compartment of a medical delivery drone which operates in Malawi. So your work basically contributes to literally saving lives! thank you very very much.

I'm completely new to the CNC world so forgive me if my questions come up as someone naive. I managed to struggle my way through building a desktop CNC machine using v-groove extrusions. I purchased an MKS DLC V2 board that runs three TB 6600 stepper drivers. I'm using Nima 17 motors and open builds cam and control software. So far I've managed to get the machine to perform a dry run of a design I created in illustrator. Every step of the process so far has been quite the mental challenge. Slowly but surely I'm getting it figured out step by step. One thing I'm not is a programmer. All the programming stuff usually goes right over my head. But I can kind of see what happens when you change certain things in the grbl code. My current challenge is to figure out how I can get open builds to recognize the Wi-Fi module on the control board. Someone told me they were able to configure/install grblhal do the same bored and then open bills is able to recognize it. In the most simplest of terms could you explain to me how this might be done? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Subscribed.

Hello and thank you very much for sharing. I'm just starting to test my cards. I have a zoom problem on the Grbl software, I cannot see all of the software despite having changed my display settings. My screen is 1366x768. Do you have a tip for this please ?

Hello! Is it suitable for corrugated cardboard?

Hello, I am currently building a 4-AXIS Arduino CNC Foam Cutting Machine. However, I'm encountering some issues. The issue I am facing is that in the GRBL Software, only 3 Axis are showing. The U axis is missing. Do you have any idea how I can solve this issue? It would be great if you could assist me with this. If you are interested, please share your contact information. I would be glad to connect with you.

Thanks for sharing the content, I couldn't define the zero point of XYZ

Hello Keith, Thanks for all the lovely videos. Do you think you could make a version of the hotwire controller that works on Linux. Or atleast guide me (and others like me) on how to make one. Thanks

Bonjour, Apparemment les liens fonctionnent plus ?

Hi Keith, new here and have been watching quite a few of your videos👍. I have Jedicut installed OK, but the preview screen shows the airfoil as a line 45deg. on foam block. Any ideas.

If you have some settups for 3dlabprint on creality software and want to share with me, I would be very grateful. God bless you my friend

I am very grateful for you making this video. I have a k1 max, i am having problems with pla lw from e sun, they stop extruding in the middle of the print. Maybe is the cronical clogging problem, maybe is something on software (i use cura) but i will try your creality print settings and never give up hahaha. I only occurs with lw pla

Thank you - great work. Looking forward to the FluidNC MKS Tinybee Solution. Anytime soon?

Dose grbl mega 5x edge has scaleing commond g51 ? If it has the How to use it ?

Hello. Could you build 5 axes CNC foam cutting, pls?

Hello rc Keith, my co worker and I have been working tirelessly on our hotwire foam cnc. We are using ours to cut out tapered cylinders. The only difference that we have compared to yours is that ours has a turntable in the middle. Our problem started when we started to add homing and limit switches. The homing function only homes the uz axes then stops and then grbl freezes. We are using the mks gen L v1.0. any help would be greatly appreciated

What is the meaning of 'File not found' in dxf2dat?

Fantástico tirou minha dúvida mais uma vez

Fantástico material! Era o que eu estava precisando. Muito obrigado amigo.

thanks what do you use to feed the heat to the wire? and would this cut the closed cell foam like insulation board?

Keith.. i have discovered the problem… after some consecutive cuttings (arround 3 or 4) the feed rate got crazi,,, i send a movement with 200mm/m but the grbl hot wire moves at 600mm/m .. so i close the grbl hotwire and repowering the mks board… so i cut fine… today i made a lot of cuttings this way, closing the grbl hotwire and repowering the mks board between each cut… i don’t know if the problem is the firmware of the mks or is in the grbl hotwire software… but this way i can made a lot of cuts witout problem.. i did take some pictures showing this if you want to see give me an email what i send you

Hi sir! I did debug a bit der andere code to correct planer.cpp and get kinetics to work. I hope marlin works fine for you . For gcode generation I use jedicut. I am looking for a 4 axis version of octoprint… have you found anything like that?

Hello, I appreciate your efforts and have a question. I already built my CNC foam cutter structure and have one stepper motor per axis (one for X axis and one for Y axis). I wonder if I can use your firmware and Windows software for my machine? Regards
