Got the LowRider running last night, havnt had much chance to mess with it but cut out a couple things from 1/4 birch plywood and they came out flawless, will be making another post with pictures and the such in the build section.
Thanks for this. I’m about to try my first “crown test” with my newly assembled LowRider 2. I went online looking for ways to attach the pen. I’d already 3D printed the original pen holder (part linked below), without realizing it’s not for LowRiders but for MPCNCs such as the Primo. I then went googling and wound up here.
if it is just for doing the crown test, you can strap the pen to the vacuum part like shown here. Just strap it down so the pen doesn’t move to much. I did not do this the first time and you can clearly see the result before and after
Thanks, but I need to not only draw for the crown test, but also will need to be doing a lot of drawing for a major project that involves both cutting and drawing. I have designed a new part that’s a remix of the part shown in this thread. It is designed to allow a pen mount to be present on the plate at all times, with the vacuum shoe in place, and leaving room for the hose.
I hope it’s not a breach of etiquette to post the link here in this thread. If so, I can delete here and post elsewhere. The original part is designed quite brilliantly, just does not seem to suit what I needed.
Hi Doug - I’ve downloaded the STL of your part a few times and the file is unworkable in PrusaSlicer at least. It may have been corrupted in the upload.
