thingiverse

<b>RELEASE NOTES</b> I'll update this section regularly with notes on changes made to each version. You can use either the old or new versions, as you prefer. v1.1: * Added M5 nut-shaped holes in three parts that are difficult to screw after assembly is complete. The affected parts are: both top exterior Y axis and rear top Z axis motor support. v1.2: * Added Vacuum / dust collector * Added Openable DragChain * Added Holders for DragChain rail v1.3: * Added 52mm Spindle Holder (like 500W ER11 standard spindle) * Modified dust collector holder to make it adjustable and removable v1.4: * Added End LeadScrew Support * 20mm shim * Modified Y axis front and rear dragchain support, to fit more correctly with "support motor foot" V2.0: *** TOPS CNC IS HERE *** Check out the update on my website: https://createforcuriosity.com/design/9oMwl8kL/details See the update in preview on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createforcuriosity/ <b>DESCRIPTION</b> I initially designed this machine: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3184080 However, I encountered difficulties cutting certain materials, and even when I could cut them, it was too slow. Sooooo here we are! I decided to design another one! This machine is way more efficient, can cut quickly, and deeply at times! And in my opinion, she's prettier ;p SO, this machine is still under development, but I'm currently working on some videos about building and upgrading it. Here's the building timelapse video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekYSqwj5EBU Upgrade v1.2 for usability and safety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJUGp3ddkCk ***GET IT BIGGER YEAAH*** : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwwWx9bmHhY You can subscribe here to support me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1n4rLI-myH5Y4OKrAkba_A and here: https://www.instagram.com/createforcuriosity/ For now, we can mount Makita / Dewalt router on. I'll design a mount for common 500W ER11 Spindle. She uses Nema 17 motors and T8 lead screw, but I might design some pieces to use Nema23 with T10 ball screw. --------------------- <b>PART LIST</b> To build this little princess, you'll need to print every part once EXCEPT: * 28x | Wheel spacers * 04x | Bottom Y Axis * 02x | Rear Foot Apart from the 3D parts, you'll need: * 04x | Nema17 Motors: * 03x | Rigid attach M5 / M8 * 04x | 20x40mm Aluminium profil (100mm shorter than Aluminium profil) * 14x | Nilon wheel with 5mm bearing (like on Creality3D printer) * 02x | 180mm Ø8mm chrome steel rod * 01x | 200mm T8 lead screw, with the nut * 04x | LM8UU linear bearing * 03x | Standard 8mm bearing (like 608ZZ bearing) * 01x | 20 teeth GT2 pulley, with 5mm internal diameter * 01x | 20 teeth GT2 pulley, with 8mm internal diameter * 01x | 200mm ~ 220mm CLOSED GT2 belt * 01x | 12V PSU: * 01x | Arduino (+ GRBL software) with CNC shield V3 Protoneer: * 01x | My Makita (any other router with same diameter is good) And finally, the screws (for each screw line think to nut and some washer): * 12x | M6 x 30mm screw * 04x | M6 x 35mm screw, 35mm are VERY important to screw spindle support to Zaxis cart * 26x | M5 x 50mm screw * 22x | M4 x 15mm screw * 08x | M4 x 10mm screw * 16x | M3 x 15mm screw * 20x | 4mm Wood screw (or what ever you want to screw the machine to the table) * 30x | M4 V-Slot nut
