I am looking for recommendations on materials and suppliers for use with the Snapmaker Rotary Module – something nicer than the starter materials supplied with the Rotary Module. For example, what types of wood are recommended for CNC, and what are good suppliers? Are there any plastics that are sui…

For CNC bits I recently bought a set of er11 collets that range from 1mm to 7mm also with a 1/4 and 1/8 bit from amazon: [image] Genmitsu 15PCS ER11 Precision Spring Collet Set for CNC Engraving Milling Lathe... Genmitsu 15PCS ER11 Precision Spring Collet Set for CNC Engraving Milling Lath…

Thank you, imD. It sounds like you are using these for 3 axis (traditional) CNC, and not with the Rotary Module (4 axis CNC). I suspect that the 4 axis CNC assumes a bit that matches the one supplied with the rotary module.

Material. The Epoxy Tooling dowel will be put on our online store. You can purchase the rods or dowels from other channels such as Amazon. Craft Wooden Dowel Maple Wooden Dowel Rods Waddell 6316U Hardwood Dowel For more FAQs, please read this topic: [image] The Snapmaker …

Thank you Edwin. I was hoping to find something a bit larger (in diameter) than the rods or dowels you have suggested. This screen capture from the video The Rotary Module - How to Use Rotary Laser Engraving seems to imply that it is possible to mount square materials for Rotary Module CNC. Is this …

Here I offer you a converter model with which you can put the material on the chuck. You can glue the square material on it. You need to calculate the radius by yourself. [image] square2round_converter.stl (45.7 KB) [image] [image]

Thank you, Edwin. 3D printing the converter is a great solution.

It may need some patience to carve the square materials with the rotary module. You need to calculate the diameter of the outer circle of the square. The whole workflow is the same as the one with the cylinder material. Please let me know if you need any help from us. Edwin

@herbweiner Yes I am using them for the 3-axis, for the 4-axis I am a little new on, it would be great if you could do a rough pass then a finish pass for the 4-axis don’t know if it is possible as I only have the free version of Fusion360 and I believe to be waiting on the files for importation to …

I now have a customizable Round to Square adapter on Thingiverse. As an alternative to glue, you can screw the material to the adapter. Or, you can use a second adapter with the tailstock to avoid glueing or screwing the material: Snapmaker 4-axis CNC Round to Square Adapter by herbw - Thingiverse .

Thank you for sharing this Round to Square adapter here. As for the question you raised about the difference between the STL and the process image in Luban, our software engineer said this is a bug in the ‘Linkage’ mode. The simulation image of the BallInCase (left image) is not accurate enough, a…
