Rotary 4th axis for CNC (MPCNC) by leo69

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

UPDATE: 08-Nov-2016 Models rotated to align with buildplate. Scorchworks G-Code Ripper (Marlin Firmware-Frendly Version) added.
I designed this for use with my Mostly Printed CNC, which is an awesome design by Allted featured on Thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:724999 and http://www.vicious1.com/. This 4th axis works well with laser and light cuts on wood with a router. Assembly views show how everything is put together. You can use my collet design or just attach a 3-jaw chuck like bobwombles design here on Thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:624625. I've modified Scorchwork's awesome G-code ripper software to wrap rotary toolpaths on Marlin firmware based CNCs. I'll be posting the software on the Vicious 1 website soon. ROTATE MODELS TO SIT FLAT ON PRINT BED BEFORE PRINTING-I FORGOT TO DO THIS AND TOO LAZY NOW...
