That's difficult to answer for any one specific case. Relative to other CNC machines, BoXZY is extremely easy to learn. If you have no background with CAD or any type of cnc device, it will take a few days to get used to the device itself. Depending on the complexity of what you want to create, CAD/CAM can take a few days, to months to learn to use. There isn't a way to scan in a drawing to make a model, but they do sell 3d scanners that you can use for 3d printing, in order to replicate items with minimal modeling work. Typically you create your drawing in CAD as you design your component. The laser only requires a properly sized photo to use.

Yes, it is possible. However, there is no writeup or documentation to assist in the process.

Yes, but it would require some custom coding for the laser.

I’m not exactly clear on what you're asking, but BoXZY's CNC can cut 1mm 304 stainless steel. The laser, however, is not capable of cutting or marking metal.

Hi, It sounds like you have a weak connection in the heater circuit. The only way to resolve that is to physically inspect the cables and connectors for damaged wires or connectors. I would start by looking for pins in the connector that may have been pushed further into the connector (by looking into the connector ends). If one pin, or more, is lower than the others, you will need to push that specific pin back in place. If it will not remain in place, you can try to glue the back of it, or you can purchase a replacement.

Officially, it is not recommended, as it causes large amounts of resonance through the linear bearings. I would imagine small, well balanced router bits would be ok. You would know pretty quick if they were balanced well enough to be used, once you turned the router on while mounted in the head.

Sounds like you have a good handle on the technology. I’m looking forward to seeing your work. You can use that information to manually enter for automatic bed leveling compensation (which you would need to enable in config.h of the firmware), or to manually adjust your physical bed leveling. If you are looking for exceptional flatness, I also suggest using binder clips to attach a piece of borosilicate glass to your print platform (found easily on amazon or ebay), which will provide a level of flatness that can't be obtained from the aluminum. And now that you have a probe, you can try out the auto leveling that automatically inputs data from probe as well, although I won't be able to be much help with that.

They are screenshots from the previous version, the interface graphics were just updated.

The repetier CNC plugin allows the arrow keys to be used to jog the machine in each axis, if you can find a way to have a controller act as the arrow keys for the computer this could be done. I imagine there are already windows based gaming controllers that have that functionality. Here is a link for the plugin (to be added to the BoXZY interface): https://github.com/ahd71/repetier-cncplugin I've used this plugin before and it's tough to get it to show up initially, but it does work.

BoXZY does not include a Z probe, it has a Z limit switch instead, so that multiple functions have a way to home to Z minimum. The Z min limit switch can be used as a probe if it it moved to the head to activate directly onto the platform with each movement of the head, instead of being on the back panel. This is usually done by running the Z min wires to the gantry and 3d printing a removable mount for the limit switch that can installed for mapping, and then removed and disconnected to 3d print or mill. Any G28 (homing code) for the Z must be removed from your slicer start code and the interfaces start code as it will crash the device as no limit/homing switch is installed after mapping. It may sound more complicated than it is, it's mostly just a matter of moving the switch to the canister and making sure the machine only tries to home the Z axis during mapping. For 3d printing its also a matter of making sure the switch activates at the exact height of the nozzle.

Lack of adhesion can be caused by a vast number of factors including nozzle height, leveling, bad filament, temperature etc. Please provide a photo or video of the issue and post this question in the answers section so we can help you further:

Hi Martha,

You can find the same item here: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Router-Rotational...

For this write up, you are correct, everything would have to be returned to original to 3D print. There is an available empty slot on the board, however, the programming is not in place for it to be used without firmware modification.

The aluminum selection work correctly for brass.

Not in BoXZY’s current configuration on factory hardware.
