< 2026-10-07 2026-10-13 >I machined the angled surface on one of these:
I tried to do the other one but the VFD kept stopping with an error, unsure what the problem is.
Having fixed the problem (see below) I machined the other one.
So now have 2 sets of parts to make mirror images of this:
Obviously the spindle is still much too long, need to work out how long that needs to be and get this all welded up I think.
I am debating whether I should make a more substantial spacer part that gets welded on, because it seems like just welding the spindle to the 6mm plate is a bit on the weak side?
It would sometimes spin up OK and sometimes buzz for a second and then show E0007. ChatGPT pointed out I had this same error in 2024-07-26, it means output over-current.
It turned out that the U phase wire had come detached in the connector that plugs into the motor, probably badly soldered by me in the past. I soldered it back on and the problem was resolved.
