  • I have had my 3Dtek Heavy Mill CNC for around a year I suppose, and in that year I have learned a few important things along the way. As the 3Dtek CNC is a kit, you can select things like the electronics package and spindle etc. I chose the cheapest option for the electronics being the GRBL All in One (AIO). This choice for me really didn't work out well in terms of dependability. On this machine the GRBL AIO struggled to provide the current and signals to the Stepper Motors and as a result, wrecked many jobs and I spent a heap of time trying to work through what went wrong. The GRBL AIO is just underpowered for my machine and work demands. Another factor is that the GRBL AIO struggled in the hot weather and I just could not depend on the CNC. This CNC machine needed a much more powerful and dependable Controller coupled with more powerful Micro-step Drivers to make it useful again. I had talks with Ben from 3Dtek.xyz and Jatinder from MASSO CNC Controllers. Jatinder and Ben worked out the type of work I wanted to do and came up with the system that I installed on this machine. Installing the MASSO was pretty straight forward as MASSO has excellent installation documentation and very helpful videos. When I had questions I either got the answer from the MASSO forum, or I made a call to MASSO and got the answer straight away. I make the point in the video that support is critical for any small business or DIYer and I cannot praise both MASSO and 3Dtek enough for the support and quality of product. Ok here is what I did in brief;
    Removed the GRBL AIO, AXIS Limit switches, 24 Volt Power Supply.
    Removed the Connector Plugs to the Stepper Motors and created a solid joint (Soldered) to eliminate any chance for a loose connection.
    Installed the MASSO CNC Controller, 48 Volt power supply for the Microstep Drivers. Installed Qty 5 DM 542 Microstep Drivers (One extra for later) a 12 Volt to 5 Volt power supply and Homing Sensors, two for the from of the Y Axis, One for the Z (Top) and one for the X on the LHS. These are critical for homing and setting up soft travel limits.
    The MASSO CNC Controller, 5 Volt Homing Sensors step down and Electronics Enclosure Fan are powered from the 12 Volt Power Supply. Microstep Drivers are powered from the 48 Volt Power Supply.
    In the video I showed I had some trouble with the Z Axis acceleration being set too high. Once I adjusted this everything went perfectly. I hope this video and information is of help.
    Thanks for watching - Regards Scott Turner - Forme Industrious

    Bootlace terminals are a must. I had to do the same for my CNC plasma table. Good stuff mate!!! I am also thinking of helping a friend upgrade his controller from a Chinese standard controller to a Masso on his Steel Tailor plasma.

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious
      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious  Před 5 lety +1

      That boot lace kit with the crimper only cost about $30 so I was pretty happy for sure. Well the upgrade will pay for itself quickly in my case in saved time and materials. Really I had no idea what I needed when I got the CNC, but I do now :)

      Cheers Barry. To be honest, I had no idea about what I needed when I bought the machine and opted for the GRBL. However I did say that if it wasn't up to it I would upgrade, and I did of course, but not without going through all the issues which as you know costs heaps of time. Talk with Jatinder at MASSO. There is nothing he doesn't know about CNC tech.

    Great video mate, I am currently building my own cnc Router/Plasma table. Looking for a good controller for it.
    I know this is an old video but, I Just wanted to say GRBL boards are fine for smaller hobbyist machines, but really only Nema 17 motors.. Nema 23/24/32 etc. should use a separate driver like you showed.
    I my self have chosen the route of Closed loop stepper motors (stepper motor with built in Encoder to help catch missed steps)and drivers. Now I just need to find a controller and your short video has me interested in the Masso.

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious

    Hi Scott.
    Thanks for posting your video.
    I have the same machine from 3dtek, it is running a geko g540 stepper driver and a arduino board.
    I am thinking of upgrading to the same setup as you, would you still recommend going this direction?
    Where did you purchase your stepper drivers from?
    I use v carve for my design and export GRBL g code, do you know if the masso would run this?
    Thanks in advance for you help.
    Ben

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious
      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious  Před 5 lety

      Hey Ben. I am very happy with the set up I have now. It's very dependable (the MASSO) but if your set up is working fine you have to ask yourself why change. A big advantage with the MASSO is you don't have to run the cnc on a computer. I transfer the g code file to the MASSO through wi fi and it's done. I also use V Carve and you can use the MASSO post processor. MASSO sent the Drivers to me, but you can by them from Ebay. I can help you with that if you change over. If you want to know more I'm happy to help were I can.

    Hi, @Scott Turner, I appreciate your videos it's a great resource for everyone thinking about making the plunge into CNC.
    I've been eyeing off the heavy mill for a while now and was wondering what your thoughts are a year on? anything you would do differently with your build if you were to do it again?
    Thanks :)

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious
      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious  Před 5 lety +1

      Thanks Ruben! Well, sure. When I started I had the GRBL all in one and had a lot of trouble. Cost me many hours and lots of stuff ups so it is essential to have reliable drivers with enough power. I'm really enjoying the MASSO's reliability with the beefy drivers. Good Homing sensors are important too, I started with the standard Micro Switches which are not as good. This is my first CNC and I'm really happy with it now that it is reliable with good electronics. Ben from 3Dtek is outstanding for support. I thinks they are steering away from the GRBL AIO now. Jatinder from MASSO likewise is fantastic. You have to remember the machine is not plug and play, so there is a lot of set up, learning and calibration that you need to do and I guess that is reflected in the price. It's a large and very capable machine.

    No idea about CNC's but still watched! I think I like your stuff Scott. Ha. 47 degrees in the shop?!?! I hope that's not while you're working in there. WOW! Just a quick question for you. I am building a vanity for the bathroom (for my wife). It has to be custom due to the space in the narrow bathroom so I am making it 72" long x 30" tall x only 16" deep. I want to make it in the new semi-industrial style with steel frame and oak for the doors and drawers, etc. I was going to use 2" x 2" for the framework but it seems maybe a little heavy looking. I know that's all a little vague but I am wondering what you would suggest if you were to make such a thing? Cheers from Canada!

      Thanks for watching all the same! Yes it gets hot in there and extra hot every now and then. On those days I do something else. too dangerous. If you think the frame looks a little heavy, maybe reduce the size just a little. Not sure if you have a sketch program, maybe draw it out with a couple of different options. I usually go with my gut feel too. Cheers!

    Hi Scott,
    Did you purchase the bits required for your upgrade from Ben at 3dtek? I wasn’t sure if he was still selling the machines as each time I checked, it said ‘out of stock’, for the heavy mill that is. I think there were plans a while ago to upgrade the design, so that you could easily upgrade to a ballscrew on the other two axes, so maybe that’s been a hold up. Not too sure whether I’d be worried about that though. I think I remember you saying you were happy enough with the belt drive. I was going to get the Masso option so I’m glad you’ve done this video as it seems well worthwhile. I’m looking forward to when they are available again.
    Cheers, Peter

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious
      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious  Před 5 lety

      Well I was talking with Ben at 3Dtek about my issues with the heat up here in Townsville affecting my electronics. He recommended the upgrade to the MASSO. Ben and Jatinder from MASSO got together to work out all the bits I needed to get my machine up to scratch. The MASSO was supplied directly from MASSO. Both 3dtek and MASSO provided excellent install advice along the way so it was my hope that this video highlighted that. Really important to newbies like myself. Yes Ben was talking about the ball screws as a Retro fit option as well as inclusive to the kit. I like the idea of ball screws, but they will significantly slow down the rapids. The belts are simple and strong. They seem to give the accuracy I need, but if you are doing jobs requiring smaller/ micro tolerances maybe the screws will be the go. Cheers Peter and all the best.

(Spring is just now beginning here in Ohio.) Funny to hear the background sounds of nature in this vid (warbling birds and barking dog) that typically get drowned out by the sounds of your equipment.

      Thank Daniel! Winter here at the moment. The Masso and drivers have been a huge improvement over the GRBL AIO I originally installed. Has been working great so far but I really do meed to utilise the CNC more and get it paying for it self.

      Yes very happy with the MASSO. It's easy to set up and reliable. Just talk with Jatinder or one of his team from MASSO to discuss what you might need, though you may already have everything, i.e stepper motor drivers, homing sensors etc.

    Nice video, great to see the 3Dtech xyz Heavy Mill CNC in action. I bought a Shapoko 2 a couple of years back from 3Dtech xyz, the team are great to deal with and my machine has been great value (would love a bigger one :) ). On those loose connections, it's not good practice to use solder on screw terminals, it's probably why they were loose (see reprap.org/wiki/Wire_termination_for_screw_terminals and www.weidmuller.com/bausteine.net/f/7862/Weidmuller_Ferrules_White_Paper.pdf?fd=3). I'm not sure if leaving the solder on the wire is a good or bad thing when using a bootlace crimp, I'm guessing it's not best practice because that's not how they are designed and tested, maybe someone else knows for sure.

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious
      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious  Před 5 lety

      Thanks Paul! I chopped off all the solder on the wires leaving them bare, except a tiny amount left over on one in the video. Yes the heavy mill is finally working as it should with some decent Stepper Drivers and the MASSO. I'm excited about using it again. I was a bit down in the dumps about it when it was giving me trouble. 3Dtek xyz have provided outstanding support. Thanks.

  • @mrkattm

    If you are missing steps why didn't you just replace your steppers with closed loop steppers? You can do that for about $56.00 US per axis.

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious
      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious  Před 4 lety

      The problem was multi layered. The Steppers were okay. The drivers on the GBRL AIO were way underpowered for my set up and also the AIO was susceptible to interference. Spent a lot of time trying to tune and fix the issues. The MASSO and new drivers have fixed all the problems thankfully.

      With the GRBL the Steppers made a hissing noise constantly. With the Masso and seperate Drivers the machine is quiet. I think it has something to do with the signal it gets.

      For the MASSO, you do not require anything on you PC. In fact the MASSO can work without being connected to a PC. It has it's own chip for software. You just have to transfer the G code either via USB stick or Wi-Fi. For the CAD (Design of the project and cut paths) you need a PC with a program that can design and create G Code. It use Vetric. You can use many other design programs, like Fusion 360.

    _47 degrees Celsius?????_ I may be a simple mathematically-challenged American unused to more refined systems of measurement, but that's almost halfway to boiling. That's insane. You could probably do all your welding with any magnifying glass of decent size and quality. If you leveled the floor with asphalt patches, they'd soften into tar pits and start trapping small animals. I'd say you could fry an egg in there, but you'd be liable to burn it to a cinder instead. I hope you told Masso their controller is being installed inside an oven. How are you alive? Did Australians rapidly evolve to resist the heat, like that one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where all the colonists are immune to the planet's deadly radiation? Do you cool the shop with the exhaust from a blast furnace? Does that soldering iron form condensation as you use it?
    I'm sorry, I'll stop now. That controller and the setup looks like some serious kit, and I like that you organize it in that box. It'd be a real problem if you had those sitting out in the open, picking up dust. Especially metal dust... yikes.
