Mini printable lathe V2 + Chuck - OpenSCAD version.

thingiverse

The OpenSCAD files of the Lathe from Sublime have been modified with some differences, but compatible parts, except gears with different teeth style. In Util.scad, adjust guide-rods/axles and screw hole sizes. Modifiable main dimensions are also available in Util.scad. Interexchangeability exists with Sublime's parts unless parameters are changed. For scratch building, consider thicker guides and a larger distance for stability. Changes include "X_carriage" being flat on top for easier printing, while bearing_block may have overhang issues. Suggested upgrades involve adding step motor mounts for CNC Lathe functionality. Note the tight clearance between X carriage and Z front, which might cause problems due to flex or inaccuracies. To print, convert SCAD to STL and print everything except Upright thrice, Bevel_gear twice, and Hand_crank twice. Mirror-print four parts: "Z_carriage_left", "Gear_lever", "Cam_lever_part_A" and "Cam_lever_part_B". For the chuck, print 4x planet gears and 4 jaws. Add 12 bearings of 608 size, 8M rods for axles, and 6M rods for guides. Drill holes to correct mistakes. A part list for the chuck is still pending.
