Dremel lathe remix

cults3d

Micro-lathe, ideal for Dremel, offers enhanced features and compatibility. The rail slider system allows for mounting lathe pieces of varying lengths by screwing the main part to a piece of wood, etc., while the slider piece moves in and out for easy installation. The new design includes upgraded tool and bearing fixtures that fit snugly into bearings without risk of sliding around (depth-wise). All nut holes have been enlarged to accommodate #4-40 nuts & bolts due to limited availability of M3 at local hardware stores. The slide locks and lathe mount block screw-in piece holders utilize #6-32 1/2" bolts. Changes from the original design include: * Adjusted bearing block to fit 608 bearings better, yet still securely in place. They are removable (not vice/press fit), allowing users to lock them in with a little glue or acetone smoothing around the edge as needed. * Adjusted bearing fitting to perfectly accommodate a 608 bearing. * Added reinforcements and extended the bases of both blocks for enhanced stability and easier mounting with larger screws/bolts. * Threading was added to the threaded Dremel block version, along with reinforcement to screw in my 4200 directly into the block. Usage notes: * I carefully screwed in my Dremel extension sheath (black part in picture), but it cracked the plastic a bit. I might need to make the hole a little bigger, reinforce, or find a tap big enough to cut this size thread, but in this case, I simply glued the crack with acetone smoother. * I wasn't clear on how to connect my Dremel 4200, but since it has quick-release, I used one of my sanding bits that fit very snuggly into the original Dremel fitting and then used acetone smoother to "glue" it together permanently. Upcoming projects: * Vacuum nozzle/mount for dust control Printing notes: * Absolutely no warping occurred with ABS using standard "fast" settings in Simplify3D: Extruder at 230C, heated bed at 110C, 30% infill, standard raft, 0.2MM layer height, and 3600mm/min. * The only piece requiring supports is the main_rails piece.
