Thanks for the videos Willy. I am just starting out. My machine is controlled by a Masso and I have struggled. My next machine will be a plasma and am researching control methods. I have the gear to use GRBL so I will view all of your build videos for inspiration. Cheers from Australia
Hello. Thank you for this video. I'm a beginner and this video does help. I was listening to the noise from the CNC , at around 4:20 to 4:25 . When the motors start moving and therefore accelerate, the noise is quite ...not right in my opinion and I am having exactly the same noise over here. Not smooth, quite rattling. Then when the acceleration is over, the noise becomes more normal & smooth. I am wondering if it ever bothered you (maybe it's just me) and if you ever found a fix for it. Thank T
Hi and thanks for watching :) I think most of the noise comes from the machine itself when the stepper motors are vibrating a bit at the accelerating point. Do tou have a wooden machine the sound will be greater. I have had no problems with this and as I have upgraded the machine the noise have become less 😁👍😄
Thanks for video. Should be possible to get the drawings project of your CNC? I'm trying to build my one, and it should be similar to yours.....but I need some help on mechanical aspets. Thank you.
What a great video. What command sets the height at which the Z axis travels over your workpiece? When I click "Send" my Z axis raises about an inch. I would like to limited this to about a 1/4" or whatever I determine to be sufficient to clear my clamps. Thanks!
@@WillysGarageNorway yes i have viewied all you video and your guide in the web site... i don't speake well english but... im happy for your information very very precious 😀
Hi, When i was trying to connect to system via ugs, i did not connect ugs was closed immediately. This problem occurs v1.0.9. Also, i tried v1.0.8 same thing happened but there is a difference. When i pressed open first system connected then ugs closed by system. There is a folder which starts that sentence: 'A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:' i uploaded java8. Is there anyone who can help to solve this problem?
got ugs(arduinoshiled) and when i generate nc file from solid cam it say: error while starting stream null...i am confused cuz files a downloaded from internet work perfectly, would be grateful if you could help me somehow
Hi willy, I´ve already built a small CNC MILL machine, I´m using UGS too, but last week I made some probes an I´m having problems seting my XYZ zero. Once I put the tool exactly where I want it, I reset the using UGS the same way you do, the first column (XYZ) goes to zero but in the second Column Z zero did do it. Do you have an idea why is that?. You said you are a begginer so am I. I´m using MasterCAM to get de G codes. Now I´m following you cuz I like your job, and I like it because you show the way you solved the problems. Cheers
Hi, thanks for your answer, I´m using exactly the same version of UGS 1.0.9. Work position goes to Zero once I push the reset zero button, but machine position is also with negative values. I´ll prepare a video to show you maybe next weekend.
Thanks for your advice, the main problem is when the CNC finishes, it goes home but crashes (I didn´t install limit switches) and I think it is cause because of the machine possition, here I have short video of the CNC. th-cam.com/video/F4FYoiuofeU/w-d-xo.html
Is there a way to prevent endmill scratching the surface of stock from zero position to work lead in position? I was trying to use maximum stock. but after you set zero the machine moves to the lead in position in the same z level until it reaches work lead in. It does not scratch work but the stock.
I am using tb6560 board...8mm lead scrow..........1mm g coad =2560.000 1mm running ............ but continuously not running so what to do......please tell me about this...
Yes. I figured out that I had an offset in vcarve lol. That point is set prior to ugs I found out. Had a friend walk me thru it. If it weren’t for noobs, there’d be no need for instructables lol
You set zero point and offsets in the program that you generate your g codes. In UGS you just set the zero point where you decided it to be in regards to the stock 👍😃
@@WillysGarageNorway I do have a question. I am using GRBL. I was trying to send a gcode for tapping in aluminum using UGS. Its getting error. I am guessing Grbl does not support taps. so I tried drilling. I zeroed the machine like your video (zero works and visualization looks perfect) and when i click the send command it shoots up the Y Axis upwards until it hits the limit switch and then shut down. my drilling model was made in Fusion 360. I have no clue why the Y is going up although it is not in the code. any ideas will be much appreciated.
@@vrva3138 Hi, when you are making the toolpath in Fusion 360, there is a banner where you can set different kind of heights. There is travelig height wich is the height the tool is travelig between operations. On my machine I have to set it lower then default. Have you tried changing the heights?
Very useful video thanks. I'm just starting out and you explained it very well 👍

Thanks for watching 👍 Let me know how it goes with the plasma machine. Happy New Year!
Superb and simple explanation.
Hi and thanks 👍😄
Thank you for this video. Simple is always the winner. But looking forward to see how you connect a probe
Ciaran Whelan Yeah, I like to keep it simple :-) I also look forward to connecting and setting up the probe tool. Thanks for watching 😀
Very helpful about G-Code and Fusion 360. Excellent video tutorial, keep up the good work.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback :)

Great videos, Willy.

LOL 😂 We all have to start some time. I'm still a beginner, learning new stuff every day. Thanks :)
As always very good video, clear and concise. Looking fwd to your probe making video.
Thanks again :) Thinking about installing the probe very soon

I think the travel height must be set in the g code generating program. I use Fusion 360 and there I can set travel height and more
@@WillysGarageNorway Thank you for the quick response. I'm using Vectric V-Carve. I'll look around in there and see what I can find.
@@metalli445 no problem :) do that 👍
@@WillysGarageNorway And just like that I found the setting in "Material Setup" :)
Nice :)
A question can I use UGS and run two separate machines, not at the same time, and will it save settings for both. My CNC and my Drawbot.

Its very helpful. Excited for the probe. Thank you. God Bless.

Bro I can't connect ugs to aurduino board.. Give feedback. Please
You must upload the GRBL software to the Arduino

Thanks very much. If there is a Vietnamese guide, that is great. I will learn about it. Do you have documentation to use? Can you please?
What do you need documentation on? If I have what you need I will share it with you

Engraving tutorial on this machine?
Please
What do you mean?

hi. how to control speed xy axis by gcode ?
Are you still active? I need to move my reference point in the visualizer
Hi, yeah still active 😁
Do you mean moving the zero point?
Yes. I figured out that I had an offset in vcarve lol. That point is set prior to ugs I found out. Had a friend walk me thru it. If it weren’t for noobs, there’d be no need for instructables lol
@@zackb6045 Im glad you figured it out 😂 we are all noobs at some time 😁
Man thank you... Help me a lot
can i rotate my image 90 degrees
So we just need to set z zero and no need to set work offsets? I am confused. so why people bother to use edge finder then?
You set zero point and offsets in the program that you generate your g codes. In UGS you just set the zero point where you decided it to be in regards to the stock 👍😃
@@WillysGarageNorway Wow that will make it so easier. Thanks for the reply. I am a beginner and I was having hard time to figure out UGS.
