Include z area in the calculator

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Would be nice to have a "usable cutting area" for the Z in the calculator(s for mpcnc and lowrider). This will probably be a hardcoded value of the length of the default leadscrew for each project?

Same goes for the z height of the "Table size", a good/rough estimation of the total height of the "stuff" on the table would be nice to know.

The LR3 is 80mm, the MPCNC does have a calc for Z. For usable cutting area.

I'm not understanding the second statement. Like table height plus usable Z? Or table height plus Max Z height plus height of the machine?

Ah I forgot mpcnc already covers this.

I always print the results of the calculator (which isn't straight forward in a browser; a printer friendly pdf export of the calculator would also be great) to use as a reference. Including this info is handy for configuring klipper (or marlin).

Basically an expectation for the height of the total, "stock" default machine. Knowing this can make it easier to make a case/enclosure. ps. i live in a boat with small ceiling space ;)

I think the MPCNC has something. I will take a look at why a PDF doesn't print the values, honestly though, I am not good at the web side of this stuff.
