Micro Lathe Dremel

thingiverse

This remix or thing was inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1751658. I started with a different approach to Dremel attachment and decided to redesign the entire project from scratch. A knob is attached to a threaded rod via a slot, which can be glued in place after assembly. A M6 nut is soldered onto the other side of the rod. In the chuck section, three plugs are provided to cover the rods, which should be secured with superglue. Two types of carriages were designed: one with the same height as the chuck/stock axis and a smaller V2 model that can accommodate an adapter. OpenSCAD files are included, with the chuck file utilizing the "nuts and bolts v1.95.scad" library and the knob using the "children.scad" example from advanced examples within the OpenSCAD program. To complete this project, you will need to obtain some hardware: four M3 screws and nuts, one M6 nut and a piece of threaded rod, an 608ZZ bearing, and two 8mm rods. This design was printed on a PRUSA i3 MK2 using PLA. Some parts are intended to be removable, including the large circle that prevents warping during print and the support barrel inside the bearing hole.
