Hi Craft Peeps
Long time listener first time caller …
running Two Trees TNC450 upgraded 500w spindle and just started this thread for any advice , hiccups or work-arounds using Millmage
also running the Two Trees TS2 20W Laser with Lightburn
located Adelaide Aust and looking forward to engaging.
Regards
I have the 6050 in the shop and one of the devs has the 450. It should really just work for you. Post you have any issues.
Thx Joe
so far so good mate ..
loving the interface and just getting head around features
has been seamless transition from lightburn on the laser
just working my way thro getting the tool library sorted.
I also have the first generation TTC450 and I am running it with MillMage. I changed the mainboard to an 8bit-board. Some documentation is here, but it doesn’t include any MillMage-related information yet: https://diode-laser-wiki.com/documentation/twotrees-ttc450-cnc-machine/
Hi Melvin
i ended up using your picture of the Z Axis assy in correspondence to Two Trees as i had the same issue with those 2 screws coming loose … ended up using loctite to secure.
great way to spend the afternoon lol .. but best way to learn about the machine.
hi, i just have the very same setup. i cannot connect (yet) the laptop & cnc. could you provide me your machine profile please ? thank you (also where to put it)
What do you exactly mean? You just need to connect the machine and add it to MillMage. Type is grbl and that’s it. The dimensions of the workspace should be obvious.
hi, misken, the computer is 6m. away from cnc.
i ordered a shielded amplified usb cable.
in the meantime (to go a bit further) i created a ‘custom’ machine
i bought an amplified & shielded usb cable. the 340 (or 341) driver does seems to work on com4. when i connect the cnc with the cable, i hear the little music about a new usb connected
but now i do not see where i can connect a ‘new’ cnc so i can replace the ‘custom’ with the real machine.
another possibility is to get a config file from a user with the same machine ttc450 - pro with 500W spindle, also i suppose a non pro ttc450 will also go
Just click on the devices button from the job control window. There you can add as many machines as you like. Add it as grbl type, USB connection.
You don’t need any config. The machine config should be already set in the firmware. MillMage only asks for the general preferences like axis sizes, which you should find in the machine specs. You don’t need to do more.
dear Misken,
thank you for the help. i did forgot to set the baud rate to (was 9600).
but the program did not recognized automatically the printer. i had to create a custom cnc with usb.
so now, i could move the spindle x/y from the pc. (i forgot to test the z and spindle rotation)
the ‘cnc-world’ is opening to me
Yes, that’s common. MM can only detect very specific devices automatically. Adding them manually is usually the best method.
