CNC Adapter

cults3d

With this adapter you can convert your 3D printer into a CNC machine: it enables you to install a powerful 300W engraving DC spindle (52mm diameter) onto a sturdy base plate that features 50mm center-to-center M4 holes. These CNC spindles are widely available on eBay and usually come with an ER11 collet, weighing approximately 800 grams - slightly more than two extruders. The design may need modifications to fit your printer perfectly, as I created this specifically for my custom-built Delta bot and didn't have the chance to test it on other printer models. If you do try it and it works, please share your experience with me. Remember to limit the Z axis travel to accommodate the spindle's dimensions. For more information, visit: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:296799 for a Dremel variant of this design. To build this adapter, you will need: 3x 30mm M3 screws and nuts to secure the spindle 2x M4 screws with nuts - the height will depend on your printer's specifications, typically ranging from 10-16mm
