We recently upgraded the PC our X-Winder was connected to, and we're running into an issue. Whenever we try to run Executor, it throws an error stating some control boards aren't attached.
We have a 2 axis setup. As far as I know,…
Read more…Hello, is there a better explanation of how to wire the winder up? I'm just not understanding how there are 4 identical axis controllers and dont see how they are labled or defined in the assembly pdf online, my winders didnt come with a user…
Read more…Hi everyone this is my first time posting here. I am noticing an issue with the start of the second pass of a helical wind. On the second pass it tends to space out a good distance from the first pass going from right to left. On the return from…
Read more…I've set up and have been getting familiar with the setup (we have a 4X-34 setup). Everything seems to running smooth, except the carriage directionality seems to be off. When I press the 'right' option the carriage goes away from the end with…
Read more…Right now I have problem with this winding machine. During winding process, the filaments always slip off the delivery head, when the DH travels until the end of mandrel and changes its angle for traveling back. The problem happens for both 3x…
Read more…Need help with setting up this thing. After I fill in all the data in every step of the setup wizard ( motors`movement verified, max amp for motors are in suggested value), I press "save and exit". And the executor window comes up, in tracing…
Read more…Hey everyone,
I'm new to the X winder work and I was just wondering how fine the motion of the carriage can be? I'm trying to move in very small increments to the righ, but I'm stuck at intervals of 0.010 (in the z axis). Has anyone run…
Read more…Hi, I am comtemplating purchasing an x-winder to do some prototyping and I wanted to make sure the system will meet our needs. In the x-winder software, are you able to vary the wind angle within a single layer? We are wanting to produce a cone…
Read more…Has anyone made a heated batch so the resin could be warmed to ~40-50C?
Read more…Hi, Let me ask you a question. I have 4X-34. I want to wind other shape that have only one chuck, like this. Is it possible?…
Read more…XWinder doesnt' support conical mandrel yet. But in case I am willing to modify the gcode where do I start. Or should I be asking that is it possible at all to do this with XWinder?
Read more…Hello everyone,
How have you been going with winding angle selection? I understand the 90’ is optimal for burst strength (which many of you will use for rocketry), but I am generally trying to optimise bending stiffness. I started…
