Dremel Flex Shaft Mill Adapter for LulzBot Taz

thingiverse

This is a redesign inspired by solarnetone's holder. It prints without support but does require a few cap-head screws and nuts. But you probably shouldn't do this! ========================== * The tip of an extruder nozzle exerts almost no torque on the carriage, while the end of a milling tool can act as a powerful lever exerting significant force on the carriage and rails. Without any way to sense this, the machine will happily destroy itself. You can also easily drive a cutting tool into your print bed. * It supports a very limited selection of appropriate bits. * The Flex Shaft may not be suitable for continuous operation due to excessive wear and tear. * It creates a lot of unwanted vibration. * It's incredibly loud and will probably disturb those around you. * You will have to manually modify your gcode because the TAZ is not a CNC mill, requiring specialized knowledge. At best, I think you could do some basic engraving or cutting of circuit boards. However, trying to mill out lots of material will likely bend the x-axis rods or cause other catastrophic failures. Here's a video of it "working," obviously with poor speed/feed settings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORseHfmFGQ
