As an exercise to hon my machining skills and to fill a gap in my 3D printer farm I decided to machine all the parts for a new 3D printer out of aluminium. It has been very rewarding and I learned a lot, I'm confident now that I can set up a job for any part I want.
The plans for the 3D printed CNC that I used to machine all the parts can be found here:
ivanmiranda.com/products/3d-p...
And the videos where I make it are here:
• CUTTING STEEL WITH A 3...
• 3D PRINTED CNC CUTS ME...
The Z axis motor brackets were the first ones I tried and it shows, very bad cuts but useful parts. I was using a thicker plate and different alloy and that gave me a few headaches.
I started the build with the intention of using an SKR 1.4 turbo electronics, and you can see that I even installed it on the printer but once I got to the point of modifying the firmware I saw that it was going to take another month alone to learn how to do it properly so I went and grabbed a ramps 1.4 that I had lying around as I can configure those in a breeze. As a result I had to remove one of the Z axis switches but it all worked well in the end so I'll keep the ramps in there.
I had to make a few changes along the way like the X axis belt tensioner but I couldn't show all of them or this video would have been 3 days long.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did enjoy making it!!

Quick tip for securing your aluminium sheets on the router bed. i really struggeled to get thin sheets fixed properly use (test with different types) painters tape on both sides - worpiece and table. apply superglue to one side and a little spray of activator on the other. press and hold together for 10 sec. on some tapes the glue does not stick. some tapes do not stick great to wood (covered my base with some epoxy and i use 3m painters tape. this works like a charm. strong hold and easy to remove keep on great work

You done an excellent job , well done. any chance of plans for all the parts. The one thing I would change is to add a set of wheels that run on the opposite side of the rail that the table wheels run on, this is to prevent the table lifting up, especially when printing tall top heavy objects...really needs to lock that table in position.
