Drill press for a Dremel

thingiverse

In the latest version V3, improvements have been made to enhance printability. The rack and slider are split into five parts, including four bearing caps for secure holding. The clamp for the pinion axis has also been upgraded for increased durability. A video demonstrating the updated design is available at http://youtu.be/KGqGJNnqxcI. In version V2, a major update was implemented. The slider mechanism now features four contact points with lead rods for improved stability and wobble elimination during drilling. The rack has been shortened and thickened to accommodate the slider changes. Other parts remain unchanged; only the rack and slider need to be printed if upgrading from previous versions. DXF files are provided for those who wish to create top and bottom plates using a laser cutter on materials like steel or plexiglass. The top plate has 8mm holes for rod attachment, while the bottom plate requires M8 screw-tap threading. To build this drill press, you will need: 1. Four 8mm smooth rods, each 30cm (12") long 2. Four 8mm smooth rods, each 10cm (4") long 3. One M8 threaded rod, 15cm (6") long 4. Two LM8UU bearings 5. Springs compatible with 8mm smooth rods 6. Eight M8 nuts (fewer if self-locking nuts are used) 7. Six M3 bolts, each 20mm long 8. Four M3 bolts, each 25mm long 9. M3 nuts and washers 10. A dremel tool
