- 1 for BB controller rotary axis, PLEASE!! From what I see, it looks like some minor tweaks to the firmware.
+1 for rotary and supported Spindle option.
- for rotary axis on the BBpro
Get a supplier in EU
Supported rotary on Elite.
Z16/20 ball screw pitch options when ordering. Some may want a 5 mm pitch (or other vs higher) for a variety of reasons, especially on the smaller machines.
Rotary for Elites . . . .
Count me as another vote for a rotary 4th axis option.
Nothing wrong with the current Onefinity Influencers but it would be nice to see a fresh face(s) maybe of different skill levels. Maybe have people submit a video or some form of other application instead of just looking at who has the best IG or YT accounts
Are you talking about stone and Morgan on our YouTube channel? Theyâre not influencers, theyâre employees whose job is to make YouTube videos.
If not, who do you mean? We will point you to more and expand your universe
No, Iâm talking about Myers and the others. Honestly canât remember names now because I stopped watching them all. Never felt like fresh content; except for Two Moose.
I was just saying would be nice to see fresh faces and ideas from new influencers.
Maybe select someone to send an upgrade kit to and let them post their thoughts; doesnât have to be a long term deal
Rotary. Your Laser partnership is great. Get a rotary partnership.
Maybe not so much a feature in itself (can add value to your growing user base), but you could offer a machine (like Woodworker) to Provencut ( https://provencut.com/ ) so that they can begin adding content specific to a Onefinity.
In the CNC router class of machine, it looks like they may have already partnered with Carbide3D, as they already have many recipes for several of their machines. Although perhaps a bit F360 focused, the comprehensive feeds and speeds and toolpath data (text and video) can easily be applied to other CAD/CAM software. They have examples of nonferrous metals, plastics, and woods being machined.
I see value in an unbiased, single resource that provides proven realistic machining data. It would not only highlight what your machines can do, but can also give both new and experienced users greater confidence in their machining.
Hey OnefinityCNC,
what is still missing isâŚ
being able to use what many consider as the best milling motor solution for hobbyists and semiprofessionals on the Onefinity.
What I am talking about is the milling motor type that is widespread around the world, a motor dedicated for 24/7 CNC use (and that does not loose its warranty as soon as you mount it into a CNC, as Makita stated for their Makita hand trim router), with all-steel motor flange and double ball bearing, a control interface for controlling speed by the CNC controller via g-code, run-in by the manufacturer, but at same time no VFD, no custom wiring, works out-of-the-box, simply plug-and-play on a domestic socket.
Such a 43 mm âEuroâ mount that Onefinity could offer would look like this:
It is a feature requested as of 2023-Feb-28.
Hey OnefinityCNC,
That is understandable. Producing your own controller hardware is the right thing.
But regarding buildbotics.com firmware, you are stuck on an old version from the firmware and many improvements Buildbotics has made meanwhile (Whatâs new in Buildbotics 1.0.0, Whatâs new in 1.0.2) are not available for the Onefinity controller users (like macro buttons) because you neither keep up with Buildbotics firmware nor backport any features to your fork.
It was touched on slightly up above but an actual tool database with recommended feeds, speeds, DOC, stepover, etc for different types of bits and materials like maple, oak, pine, etc, etc.
I think that would really be an added bonus especially to newcomers.
Hey OnefinityCNC,
what I would like is if you provided access to the internal axis control lines like Buildbotics does now on their 15-pin Auxiliary motor control port:
Image: Comparison of recent Buildbotics controller (above) and Onefinity controller (bottom): The Buildbotics now has an additional 15-pin Auxiliary I/O Port for access to the axis control lines.
This would allow to circumvent the internal four Texas Instruments DRV8711 stepper drivers and to use your own stepper drivers, and other stepper motors. This would need no change in the circuit itself, but only re-design the pcb to provide access to specific points on the pcb.
The pins available would be the same as on the Masso G3 for connecting stepper motors:
This would allow users to connect other stepper drivers, e.g. to retrofit closed-loop stepper motors (as used on the Masso, or to connect closed-loop stepper drivers like this one), or servo motors etc. to the PRO/Original Series Onefinity Controller.
This would come from the bit manufacturer not the cnc manufacturer
Sure, the manufacturers do provide feeds and speeds but usually for commercial machines, NOT the hobbyist machine. I personally think this info should come form the CNC manufacturer since they would know what their machine is capable of handling.
Another for rotary axis
