I at least got the ball screws, linear rails and motors mounted, and will hopefully be done drilling/tapping for a while. Time to move on to electronics and see what kind of trouble I can get into with that.
We just hit 1400 subs and I want to thank everyone for the support!

Nice video! Dunno why I'm watching since I don't have room for one :P Gonna make a small rigid CNC for steel (no idea which model yet), and big floppy but easy to store one for plywood (prolly lowrider2), after I turn my MPCNC into a bioprinter & pick n place machine. Thanks for helping me get off my butt and get started!

@neilphillips3193 3 жыл бұрын

What tolerances are you looking for that you consider the lowrider floppy? And what materials are you ‘bio printing’?

@Renaldo015 3 жыл бұрын

I did the same thing with those rails. I used m6 instead of m5 so I had to flip and drill on the other side.

Nice build. Those are not grease nipples even though they look like it. You should put the correct oil into them on occasion. I would just use pump a little heavy oil though them to clear any dust. Best of luck. Take them time to have a look at Linuxcnc. It can be very rewarding after the initial introduction. Best of luck.

@247chiranjeevi 3 жыл бұрын

Nice! Enjoyed watching it. U make it look like its so easy to build a CNC, is it really as easy as it seems like? How do u ensure perpendcularity between x and y and parallelity between the two y beams. Are the beams having the required flatness for the lm rail? Looking forward to its working

One thing I can’t find documentation about is the tramming screws, do they screw into the spindle collar and pull or are the little parts threaded and it pushes against the spindle collar?

On your site, Where do you list the frame parts of your build? I couldn't see that or how you did it?

@j.hankinson7803 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for posting this series Brian. How accurate were your holes really? I’m finding the corner frame holes particularly hard to get all lined up. I’m thinking of fudging the 6.5mm holes a little bigger.

@j.hankinson7803 3 жыл бұрын

I figured that. I ended up welding a few holes closed, putting the screws that fit, then remarking those holes with a transfer punch. Worked very well and worth the 3 or 4 seconds per hole to weld shut. Hopefully the Chinese parts arrive soon so the rest of the fun can start ;)

Hey Great video, I reference yours and others continuously for my build, What was your reason for the position of the hardware on the gantry? You said you moved everything to the far right. Just curious of what you considered for this. Thanks for your time!!

@ProjectsbyBrian Жыл бұрын

Thanks! It wasn't a huge decision, it was just to ensure that the full length of travel for the X axis wouldn't interfere with the Y tubes. The main point I wanted to make was that it wasn't going to be mounted symmetrical on the X axis, but rather mounted towards the right side. There are some things in the build where you just have to kind of lay out the parts on the tube and see what looks right. I hope that explains it well enough haha.

These are awesome video's.!!!!!!! Did you print everything with ABS or PETG or PEG. Where did you get stepper files? last question what would you do different know if you started building from scratch again. Again thank you for your time effort and knowledge and may God Bless you in everything you do..

@ProjectsbyBrian 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Everything is printed with PLA. The entire design is open source and hoges (Three Design), the designer of the machine, has a very impressive Fusion360 model of the entire machine that can be modified and then STL files are exported from that to print. I don't have anything I would do different, other than some purchasing decisions that don't apply to someone building one now. Check out my video called "PrintNC My Thoughts" for more of my thoughts on the build.

Very nice to see this shown the way you show it Brian! I also liked how you created some of the parts using the old MPCNC. I'm following this path myself and working my way up as I go. Can I ask what material you used for the 3d printed components and possibly any general settings for a clean print? I love the colour and sheen :-)

So you go for a steel frame construction but use a printed roller bearing housing with a diameter of less than a cm? (If this is just a temporary solution and you are using this machine to then mill some at least aluminimum ones I will stfu, but otherwise) the heavy frame is pretty pointless. Looks nice though. 👍

Can this machine process steel?

@ProjectsbyBrian 10 ай бұрын

Some guys have done it, although I wouldn't build this machine with the sole purpose of cutting steel. You might have good results but it's on the upper end of what the machine is capable of, IMO.
