Only someone who´s into DIY CNC mashines can understand the beauty of this moment.

I have to watch more of these videos so I know what the heck my husband is making!

Amazing, I was super excited to see it move. I can only imagine how you felt, fantastic job! Looking forward to seeing it make some chips.

I can relate to "plenty of soldering practice from the drone building days" lol, I've built a lot of them myself... I'm anxiously awaiting my AliExpress order to come in. I have my frame built, painted & loosely assembled, I'm ready to tackle the rest of the build! Great work on yours btw! and thank you for taking the time to make these videos!

Looks awesome Brian! Really great work

I love this design. Very simple and robust

Excellent build, looks great.

Thanks for this Brian. I happened onto the PrintNC via a Facebook group. I'm already planning my build!

Wow, you've been pretty busy. This thing is looking great!.

Great stuff! Keep up the good work

Looking great! congrats on your first build! I'm running a similar setup on my bulkman3d workbee 1010, I've got a 1.5kw vfd spindle high torque nema 23's and upgraded the z axis to linear rails. If you're going to do an enclosure and plan on cutting a lot of aluminum I highly recommend you run 8mm OD air hose in your cable chains so you can add mist coolant later on. Had a lot of trouble cutting aluminum at a depth of cut over 0.2mm, it would cut clean without chatter but the bit would eventually clog before the job completed. After adding the mister I can make 0.5mm+ deep cuts all day with no clogs. Got a mister kit for $20 on amazon, the most expensive part aside from the 8 gallon air compressor was the $35 gallon of concentrated Trim Mist coolant. SO worth it! I've learned that it's not enough to have a rigid machine and a vfd spindle to reliably and consistently mill aluminum without issue. I don't always run coolant the whole job bc i don't wanna soak my mdf but even with just the compressed air it's enough to cool the bit and blow the chips out of the cut and towards the vacuum hose. I'll add some videos to my channel of my setup and the mods I did to the dust shoe to work with the mister, in case anyone is interested to see how well it works.

yeaa! nice job!

Awesome machine I gotta watch through all your build videos to see what I'm still missing. I'm still a long way out and need to get a 220v line into the garage. Most parts are ordered except for steel.

Wobbling motor mount is "good". It means any forces applied to the motor axle is dampened in the mount. Putting the bearing block on a steel mount makes it more rigid, any axial forces applied to the ball screw will be eaten by the bearing block instead of the bearings in the motor. If you go by replacing the motor mount with steel ones, do yourself a service and do the same to the bearing block mount, and take extra care to align the motor with the ball screw to remove stress on the motor bearings. Food for thought.

Awesome!

My god the flex in those stepper mounts! But congrats on getting to this point in the build!

You built an amazing machine! I wish I had room in my workshop to set up one myself.

Impressive!!!

Dude those on off buttons! 👍I wish we had the noise control at the Bevard house!

After watching this it makes me want to sell my X-Carve

@01:12 Oof... That Stepper wobble man... Looks like you found your first parts to machine in metal, huh? 😐

Looks awesome, I am building a mpcnc since it's my first cnc machine. I am down to the wiring and I'm a glutton for punishment and opted to do dual endstops.

:D Linux EMC2, I used that program to lauch my first CNC toy on 2012... now I want to make it stronger to mill aluminum.

you need to add a shock absorber to motor.because it show vibration while running.I appreciate your work

Max switches are good if you don't feel like homing, or the machine loses it's actual position due to missed steps / stalled motor. Like a fail safe.

What is the overall footprint of the mill? Do you plan to build an enclosure?

Nice build! Just a thought, is it smart to have your e-stop in such an awkward place instead of in the front near where the operator would be

There's some wiggle to the steppers at 0:32 and 1:15, do you think that will affect the lifetime of those 3D printed stepper mounts?

Hi Brian, regarding the single endstop, does it mean that LinuxCNC uses the inductive sensor as a starting point and adds an offset to set a software limit on the opposite side? Thank you.

Nice work.. any chance of a discord link update?

How many feet of 3x2 did you need for this size?

Just to clarify, the Z ballscrew should be 1204, not 1605. Nice job though. It's a lovely looking machine.

were can you purchase this cnc machine

Brian, have you documented how you got that 780 converted to Linux? Let alone, set up with linuxcnc? So far it seems like I'm going to build a Mars traveler... Any suggestions? Pointers?

i copy hall and ini my similar cnc but not working, hal and ini files change printcnc files to my linuxcnc debian 19, but not working, how can make hal and ini files working dual Y axis. i has try change many files but all only errors and not working

7:50 You are running 1605 Z Ballscrew and not the standard printnc Z 1204 ballscrew ?

Can you make a video on repeatability and accuracy tests?

Are the 1610s worth it? I'm trying to build and don't know if I should stick with 1605s or if it's worth it to go 1610s?

Any particulare benefit of running Linux CNC?

1:10 Why is Y motor jiggling so much?

Is this the standard size one? Any big changes from “standard” you did or wish you did?

Any plans on using dual endstops for squaring? Or is not needed?

Ficou muito top💯 👏👏👏

Why just now notification on a 4 day old video?

Can you make video cutting aluminium, please?

Cant jug it longer ! unless you lose some steps on the motor ;)
