After using the Tiny CNC that I made back in January for a while I've been wanting to improve it and make it more rigid. The natural next step for that router would have been to machine the plastic parts in aluminium but I was sure that the rods and bearings were way more important in terms of rigidity so I set myself to redesign it using linear rails. In the end I started the design from scratch and every single 3D printed part in it is new. I've tried to keep it as compatible as possible with the hardware of the MKI just in case those who got the files for it can switch to this new design.
In this new version there's also more clearance for stock, up to 85 mm and more usable Z travel as it can move up to 60 mm. The vacuum hose adapter of the MKI was taking a lot of usable stock clearance so I've designed a new retractable one that mounts on the side.
This one is clearly more rigid and can be pushed a lot to machine faster and better parts and I'm pretty happy with the final design.
As always I'd love to read your thoughts down below. Enjoy and thanks!!

Every upload, you always outdo yourself. Awesome machine! I’ve never seen a DIY project look more professional than this.
I try my best! Thanks!!
it's because it IS professional.
he's selling his design to make money and makes the video to advertise.
it's quite litterally the deffinition of professional.
What I really like about this build (and most of your other builds) is that you manage to build something incredible with very few different components, and a few tools.
💪💪
That's what differentiates an average engineer from a great one. Clever engineering makes the most of the fewest parts. He almost makes it look easy because the 3D printed parts are well designed and keep in mind a lot of different requirements (ease of assembly, cable management, spaces for the vacuum attachment etc.)
@@XTJ7 But I wonder how many outtakes and reiterations were made before the presentation piece was made/recorded.
@@ivanmirandawastaken I would love to see an outtake/blooper video of the many(?) iterations you had to go through before coming across the final piece(s) for these machines. Thank you.
if you buy whole CNC machine, it will cost you less and you wouldnt need any tools ;)
Your CAD skills are awesome! I love how everything is made with simple components cut down!
This is amazing. It's great watching you over the years and see how your design process has improved.
Thanks mate!
Not only does he build things that function so smoothly, but he has an artisans eye for form in his builds as well, this man doesn't just have years of experience but true pure talent. Definitely in the top 3 of my CZcams subscribed channels.
Your engineering and fabrication skills never cease to amaze me. Nice job!
Thank you!!
This is awesome! One tip for getting cleaner surface finishes when sidecutting aluminum is to take a cheap airbrush and mount it to your spindle head on an adjustable arm, and use denatured or 90% Isopropyl alcohol pointed directly at the cutter from two inches or so away. Get one that feeds from a tube instead of the little cup on top so you can feed it from a larger bottle. Routers can leave poor finishes because there is not enough chip evacuation and lubrication for such a high rpm spindle, the air from the airbrush not only blows the chips away, it causes a ton of the alcohol to evaporate on the work surface which provides an extreme level of cooling, and the alcohol is an excellent cutting lubricant between steel and aluminum. I had an EZ TRAK CNC Bridgeport mill at an old job I worked at and I used this setup daily for cutting aluminum, I would go through a gallon of alcohol every week I used it so much, I had even hooked up a pneumatic solenoid valve to switch the air on and off with the touch of a switch. It's a very clean and safe method since hardly any alcohol pools on the surface, almost all of it gets blown or evaporated away, though you'll obviously want some form of ventilation.
Thank you for this tip pow !
Doesnt that cause a fire hazard?
@@JonasNeumann6 Surprisingly no, it really doesn't. The volume of alcohol being sprayed is so small and the volume of air propelling it so high that it basically leans out the stoichiometry of the alcohol/oxygen balance and won't allow a flame, you can't ignite the alcohol stream blowing out of the airbrush. A small amount of alcohol can pool on the work surface but remember that it's an airbrush we're talking about, it only blows about a half ounce of alcohol per minute which really isn't a dangerous amount since it evaporates away so quickly, even if the pool did get lit on fire it only takes like 5-10 seconds to burn away with a pretty small flame. You do need to be careful doing it in an enclosed space like a small room, it can eventually fill the room with an explosive vapor so you do need some ventilation, but that's really the case when using any solvents regardless of what you're doing with them. And if you're curious the cutter is not an ignition source, cutting aluminum does not produce any sparks whatsoever (you can trust me on that, I've been cutting aluminum for 17 years as a CNC machinist).
@@ronidaffan5904 You're welcome! Have you tried it yet?
is the friction heat from the aluminium being machined not enough to ignite the vapour?@@TheExplosiveGuy
Amazing project Ivan! 👏😎
Thanks man!!
Putting aside the incredible engineering work, I am blown away by how great your 3D printing is. It looks flawless. Simply fantastic.
If I could subscribe twice, I would. The projects, the precision, the video editing, the music, the humor, and of course, the red! Love it ALL!
How far you have come Ivan! Amazing to see the growth and Improvement in your ability to design and execute these project’s and your channel keep up the fantastic work!.
2 things.
I appreciate how long it takes to edit the scenes where you hyperlapse the whole punch or drilling (edit time >>>> produced edit)
I love the confidence you have in your designs that you put 100% into their builds only for them to work great
Amazing design! Love the level of integration and cable management.
Nice design. I can appreciate theresults, time and effort invested into making the machine and the video too. Congratz, keep rocking!
Wow, I love the innovative wiring management solution! Awesome build as always!
Absolutely amazing! This is really showing off the power of 3D Printing and what it is capable of. I do not know how you do it sir, the quality of the filming, edits, etc. all on this tight time schedule. Nice work.
3D printing FTW!! Cheers Grant!
I REALLY like your wire management over the traditional multi link stuff! Well done!
It's always a blast watching your videos.
I love how you assure proper belt tension with the tone produced! 🙂
Very satisfying build montage. You can tell a lot of effort went into the editing. Well done!
Amazing result Ivan! It looks incredible!
Clever design, neat build with a lot of useful build tricks casually demonstrated. You rock !
i love the trick with tensioning the belts and using their note to make sure theyre even
I find it interesting to see the outcome of you keep evolving you're youtube skills. The building part you have always had in check, but the video editing skills and so on just keep getting better every video. Fantastic Ivan! :D Also cool build ofc!
wow, fantastic work Ivan! i love love love these CNC builds, they are super exciting to me, and you have outdone yourself again! this one is wonderfully accessible as fas as parts are concerned, and looks really slick with some amazing 3D design work! best one yet!
Thanks!!
This is my favorite cnc yet!!! Amazing content you sir make the best videos on CZcams!
It's nice to see someone work so quickly. and well
Eres un fenómeno. Ojalá se te sigan ocurriendo más cosas porque es una maravilla ver tus vídeos.
Mucho, mucho trabajo detrás.
Enhorabuena
Just amazingg design! The use of the belt tightening technique as a recurring design element.... using a guitar tuner for getting the tension right.. as a beginner mech designer, ur design and assembly taught so many insightful aspects
What a wonderful idea to share the design and show how to built it! When I'm settled I'm very likely going to first built a printer and then this. :)
I often feel the pull from projects like this, and I'm pretty sure I could pull it off. But then I realize that if I made some thing like this all I'd end up with is another machine I wouldn't know how to use. Or rather I'd know how to use it but wouldn't have anything to use it for other than building other projects like this. Thing is I have zero creativity, so all I can do is follow instructions. Even the smallest modification would end up looking like crap as once I made something that worked as intended I'd stop there. As for making something new, designing something myself, fugget about it!
I'm not kidding. I have no creativity what so ever. It was the same when I learned to program. I could optimize code, clean up code, rewrite code but I totally sucked at writing a program from scratch. But polishing up someone else's code? That I was darned good at! Now there's money to be made doing that. It's not flashy but someone who can take a ugly yarn of undocumented spaghetti code and turn it into well documented, structured and optimized code will always have a job. But I wanted to write my own programs, only lacking creativity I simply couldn't, so I bailed on being a programmer.
It's the same with things like this. I'm competent with tools, but I suck at making anything new. I might make something that kind of almost works, but it will look awful and probably snip your fingers off if you look at it wrong, and even that is a big maybe...
So I have held off on making or getting a 3D printer as I know it would only collect dust once I'd printed a Benchy.
Quick note about machining stepper belt pulleys: when possible, drill holes for every groove (space between teeth) before machining. Use a regular correct size drill bit, nothing fancy. This will save a good amount of wear on the end mill, drills are way easier to sharpen, as well as give much straighter teeth when compared to milling everything from a solid chunk. Of course those pre-drills would still have to be machined to size, but they do remove a large amount of material that the end mill won't have to.
I think this is the most capable printed cnc I have seen. I like the idea that machining aluminium replacement parts for its self is possible with it.
It definitely is
The designs getting better and better. Well done.
The way you have the belts stationary and the motors moving is very interesting
For someone who hates wiring you certainly make a clean job of it. Looks awesome.
I'm just trying to make it less boring 😅 thanks!!!
The better he wires it the first time, the less likely he'll ever have to touch the wiring again. 😁
Mind blown by the pitch control of the tension on the belts. Nice one.
i just realize how good you are mounting things pointing to the camera! Respect!!!
It's kind of my job isn't it? 😂 Cheers for noticing!
you inspired me to design my own cnc and buy and assemble it in real life for the first time thanks for the inspiration and everything now i have a fantastic desing and the stuff is yet to come ❤❤
Coolest thing ever!! Amazing job and so well produced!!! Thanks for sharing...
Wow, your cable management techniques. So nice.
Hey Ivan, I got your project and was the best money I spend so far this year!!!
Im into 3D printing so this is an amazing project to start the year in big :D
Thanks and keep up the amazing work!!!!
Lo mejor del vídeo es el montón de trucos y técnicas de diseño y montaje que enseñas. Enhorabuena.
Thank you for representing for the Ivan's out there!!
very cool audible belt tensioners! :) A pleasure to watch you work as always!
Great project. Your design solutions are great!
Very cool - great design & great video too!
Checking belt tension with chromatic tuner? Chef's kiss on that one. Always love your work.
Great build, I love all your projects
Congratulations, a beautiful project, I always follow your work.
For an Aluminum extrusion/3d printed build that's pretty impressive! Nice work! I really like the way you designed the vacuum system.
That's a neat method of mounting bearings to 3D printed parts.
Thanks for reminding me to have fun with my own builds.
Always!
Looks like a nice companion to the DIY mill. I'm guessing it has similar capacity and work limits. Really nicely done. Thanks for sharing!
Apart from the build itself, I must note your videos are getting more and more enjoyable to watch!
Thanks!
My man. This is your best work yet. Very nice. I am seriously considering a try at your machine. Thanks for the great videos and hard work.
Impressive build.
👌
Thanks for sharing your expirence with all of us 👍 😃
Legend!!!!! Top job. Build quality is excellent 😎👍
Such an excellent lesson. Wish I had a shop to make it possible. Thanks!!
I definitively like this channel!!! You're an inspiration source for every maker!!! 😍😍😍
Wow! Very well thought out design.
Truly an awesome machine!
17:45 using a CNC is straight up hard. I went into it thinking it was going to be a lot like 3d printing, but it is not. There is so much to keep track of that it is really easy to forget something small that leads to a catastrophic failure.
Yes, catastrophic failure is always round the corner. Waiting...
just found this video. and that bit at the end really shows how powerfull this thing is.
nobody should ever mill like that without cooling. but the fact that the machine doesn't care and just pushes through just absolutely amazed me.
and with my background in cnc i can actually avoid those failures.
(ps @Ivan Miranda) try some cooling. compressed air with a drip of cooling oil going into the line. you'll end up with a mist of cooling so you don't have the adapt the design to handle a ton of water. and aluminum REALLY loves it when cutting it)
to the point that you can tell the diffrence between a cooled part and a non cooled part in a single glance.
@@ivanmirandawastaken This has been my experience with CNC machines. With 3d printers, you get a failed print, with a CNC you get a bit snapping off an shooting across the room at mach 3
thank you Ivan, the CNC is so cute.
Another beautiful creation!
Subbed to many huge channels, none have the heart that Ivan brings to his content.
Fantastic work, Ivan! Really well done! 😃
Some day I'm definitely going to build it!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
What an awesome build!
Tuning your belt tension was really clever!
Hi! that one looks totally perfect. enjoyed watching it. thanks a lot and good luck!
You really show the versatility of 3D printers and a few power tools
Great film, awesome editing. Excellent engineering and design. Mahalo for sharing! : )
another great project as always! Something I'd love to see is just how much play is present in the frame (particularly the Z Axis which can be measured by using a dial indicator). I used the same linear rails (I believe NGR12s) for my 'large' router's Z axis and found that the play was around 0.16mm... but my entire build is made from Aluminium (No printed parts), so would be interesting to see how the 3d prints hold up against such stresses. Great content as always!
So smart and fun design! Love it 😃❤
You are a Genius Mr. Very, very Impressive.
Super awesome. Inspiring stuff!
This looks very well thought out. Thank you for sharing your awesome machine with us, from Henrico County Virginia
This was crazy to watch.. loved every second of it
the part that amazes me is how each machine is usually capable of working with way more strong material than what it is build from, making it possible in theory to build a machine with 3d printed parts, and then use it to machine aluminium parts to upgrade itself to be more capable. which you already did, but it is still amazing.
Wondering, if you made a 3D printed CNC to make a Tank, could you argue that through the transience of properties that that tank was made by a 3d printer
I've thought of that more times than I'd like to admit.
Simple,make a tank that only uses 3d printed tools to make
They already say this about ECM-rifled barrels.
That way of thinking would make everything handmade…
By that logic you could stretch it further by saying the tank was made by a bulldozer since it was used to extract the materials needed to build the 3d-printer.
Damn. I was thinking of converting the tiny cnc I built to your plans to linear rails myself. This looks much more rigid, exactly what i need.
Nice and very clean construction!
This is so amazing. I want to build a custom CNC lathe to shape out pen blanks, but I fear I don't have the skills to pull it off. Seeing this just amazes.
I'm so tempted to purchase the plans but I worry about the cost, time, and not printing accurate parts.
Great design/build!
I think you would find value in getting a true-flat surface for some of your construction/assembly. I noticed that your wood assembly table is fairly wobbly. Consider trying to find an old granite counter (sometimes available for free after a remodel). This will help your assembly to be even flatter, which could help for precision stuff like this cnc build.
I'm sure we all would love to see a workshop and parts tour please!!!
Always amazing work !!
Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
This is AMAZING!! Always inspiring to see what you build :D
Thank you!
Your crazy bro! A mad genius 👏
4:00 great Sounddesign. the tool sounds fit to the music just like that. 👍
Well, time to buy these plans. Luckily my dad has been a CNC technician for as long as I can remember. He would love this for wood working projects.
Ivan, thank you so much for making this video. As soon as I purchase the tools, to make the tools that I will need for building the CNC, your machine will be the first thing I build. I’m a hobbyist and I already know that I am going to need a CNC for some of my projects. I could, of course, just buy a CNC but where’s the fun in doing that. :)
I wish I had the tools and know-how to build something like this! I really need a desktop CNC mill in my life, but yeah, my printer is way too undersized and so is my brain. Keep up the awesome work man!
Expectacular, Felicitaciones Ivan ¡¡¡
Nice cable management!
Great machine you made there, well done. Making a small cnc is on eof my goals too
amazing build
Stunning
Incredible job!!
That is one clean design.
Great edit
