Use the printed components to EDM new metal components for additional rigidity and accuracy 😂

It's very impressive, but make it a $2500 edm and not 3d printer based. Right now a cheap fiber laser cutter can do what it does in 1% of the time (cut thin sheet metal). You've got a great start though!

@rtrottier14Ай бұрын
love the idea and functionality. However, I buy tools to make small batch parts. I am more than a hobbiest, but less than a full blown protoype shop. I would be very interested in a fully built "kit" such as common P printers. Or better yet, a fully assembled version, like you get in the Bantam CNC machines. Either way, thanks for making this leap, and I will keep an eye out for future projects and advancements of your.

How is water filtration solved in this machine? Edm technology generates a lot of impurities - zerodized metal in the form of silt. Which is dangerous for moving parts immersed in water.
@Mario_3dАй бұрын
Brilliant design. I used to operate an industrial wire EDM and plunge EDM so I know what you are talking about. Generally, these are machines that can machine metal to an accuracy of 0.01 or even 0.005mm There is a basic condition - the machine body must be temperature stable. Your idea is great- maybe we won't achieve the accuracy of an industrial machine but yes the accuracy will be higher than for example 3d printing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

$400 PSU is still quite a bit for what it is. I think I could come up with something replicable, reliable and simple for under $100 First thing that comes to my mind is cheap $10-20 server PSU with a step-up converter and whatever controls required to interface it.

Maybe EDM is rare where you are but in MN, with all the manufacturing, there are tons of them. It's normal for die shop to have 4-5 wires and that many sinkers. Injection mold shops probably have more of both. A lot of shops, like mine, even have EDM drills. I LOVE this project! I will be buying one for my home shop!

@ethanmiller5487Ай бұрын
@MorlockEngineering That's just one shop. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of mold and die shops in the US. Each has at least that many machines... that's a lot of machies. The bigger universities have machine shops as well and they definitely have wire machines.
@MorlockEngineeringАй бұрын
That is still only a few ten of thousands machines. There are millions of mills, lathes, and printers.

You don't have to spend that much money for a power supply; Hansvedt used to sell a 'tap buster' that worked fine as a die sinker for a very reasonable price. But hey that's a mighty neat machine you've built there! Do you have any figures about cutting rates?

I do not see myself owning one of these, but will be watching your journey - easy sub to make. When shop/homemade CNC machines were first being introduced on KZfaq I predicted we were at the beginning of a new industrial revolution. I believed the CNC would drive a router, and with some modifications a laser. I'll now add and EDM to the list. The incredible power for inventors/makers with these affordable machines tinkering in a garage or basement will really advance society in both good and bad ways. Thank you for sharing. Great little machine.

It's not a new type of machine. Watch parts are much more suitable with laser cutting and/or photoetching cutting. The wire has a diameter really not negligeable for micro parts to create. EMD wire machine can achieve incredibly tight tolerences but a micro gear or watch part, laser cutter can do sharp inside/ouside corner with not radius. But I'm totally agreed with you, a desktop affordable wire EDM machine could me incredible, mostly the 400$ power supply. After that it's the precision of the X-Y movement of the machine, rigidity and so on that will dictate it's precision. I'm looking forward to seeing the machine and its price.

@@fabienl4979 Thanks for the detail. My bad; perhaps only clock parts, then (which actually someone mentioned) ;) Sounds like rigidity is a simple problem. Then again, I have no idea about microscopic tolerances of a dynamic system =)
