Cool color scheme, can’t wait to see it finished.

Welcome!

Thank you Ryan.

I would like also to thank you on a beautiful design, i worked on it today for about 8 hours.

I initially wanted to use only the marble PLA, but due to failed prints i ran out

I finished the assemble and will start with the wiring. hopefully in a couple of days. I will take this time to print drag chain for the wires.

I attached a marker to the Z-Assemple and moved it around by hand to draw the “work area”. As you can see the square seems to be very good the dimensions are 335mm and 625mm almost as planned.

I just hit a small road bump and it was that i broke my XYZ Plate when tried to tighten the outer screws, re-printed and all is good

I setup the belts and electronics and ran my first crown test :)

Hi Kamil,

Where did you get the steel tubes in Israel?

khoury · October 28, 2019, 7:36am

A friend of mine work in this field and he bought them for me. Not sure where from, he had them from before.

As I understood, Scope sells them, but not sure they sell for private persons

Thanks,

I looked at Scope and some others, and the closest thing I find is 3/4" pipe which has OD 26.7mm.

Search for tube, should bring up different options.

So, while i’m waiting for the wood to build the table for the MPCNC and the mill bits i ordered from banggood to arrive (since September )

I Finished the wiring, connected the spindle.

Found an old bit from a dremel like tool i had, so i tested it with foam

Is there a way to check what the intended radius ESTLCAM generated the gcode files to represent?

Holding the middle button down on your mouse in estlcam gives you a measurement tool. Should get you close.

Progress...

I built a table for the MPCNC and added an emergency button to disconnect the main electricity feed to all my electrical parts, rambo and spindel.

Also added an enclosure to help with keepong the place clean, just need to figure out how to connect the front.

First test drive with a Vbit 60Degrees, 10mm.

The result is great, i need to improve my settings. i think i was using a high feedrate 8mm/s, and the highest speed of my spindle.

The collet in the picture is ER11 for reference

That came out great. You can tell by the corners!

Hi

you can get aluminium 6063 tubes 25mm 3mm wall thickness at ARAD metals tlv, it seems to be strong enough for small to mid size machine setup (not tested yet, still under construction phase), about 120 INS for 6000mm in length. you can buy half of it, depending on your setup.

jeffeb3 · December 29, 2019, 6:42pm

I don’t know if it was mentioned here, but the aluminum may get worn very fast with the steel bearings.

tag.me.not · December 29, 2019, 6:59pm

that is a good point i did not think about, i will update regarding it.
