    Finally got the machine up and running! I will have some tweaks to do along the way, but I wanted to give an update video on my progress!

    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!

    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.

  • @augustsvensson9786
    @augustsvensson9786 Před 3 lety +1

    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.

      You can actually do it with 2 normally closed limit switches wired in series to one limit input on your control board. The machine works out whether you're at min or max based on the direction it's moving.

    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.

I ended up going with the RS-CNC32 for my first build but if I saw the PrintNC first I totally would've built that bc of its superior/open source design. Cnc is punishing as it is to learn I think you will find it much more enjoyable to use something like the printNC
