from the community for the community, mostly via heavily customized tools. replacing linuxcnc with a smoothieboard for cnc milling. not as easy as for 3d printing! smoothieboard around, which is a very capable 32 bit arm controller for 3d printers, i thought it would be a good idea to give it a try. a bulky, obsolete but usual milling setup with a pc running linuxcnc (a parallel-port is required status (smoothieware), even though the hardware is fully capable (smoothieboard). in this post, i wanted to share my experience so far. it will not solve the issues below and i think most people would have done like me: just try, then investigate. with time, i think it may be sorted out, probably with help from others if they are welcomed (and hopefully without breaking more mill bits). but my expectation here was to benefit from smoothie as much as one can benefit from it for 3d printers. even though my current overall hardware setup is much convenient and lighter, the milling process ends up requiring more manual and careful operations than before. more annoyingly, i would end up having to tweak and modify an existing cam tool here is a short post on yet another low-tech but functional tool (the last one was a dry box give a maker a 3d printer and every problem is solved by 3d printing.. a few years ago i started to re-realize that many problems so here is a recent counter-example: i had to use a small, cheap but functional 3d printer recently (a sub $350 me creator mini runs on 1.75mm filament and it lacked a compact, reliable low friction spool holder (the default is attached to the back of the printer, far from the side due to the electronics, and which is made of pvc pipe: the filament often jumps off the spool, which quickly fails). yes, this is no april fools day: ultimaker is filing its first patents i really have mixed feelings (update d+2: given the feedback on this article, i now have no more mixed feelings: makers will probably flee a lot of people say it is how things are. but growing bigger is no excuse for playing the game: complying with the system is probably not
