Супер! Отличная идея. Эти детали из алюминия можно продавать для самостоятельной сборки. Желающих будет много.
All of those mill cuts left bare and unfinished for the world to see... I had to go have some "me time" after that. Sexy.
not going to surface the bed flat ?
I did :)
Do you have the drawing files of the parts you have milled in aluminium to replace the 3dp parts?
I do have fusion360 files
Awesome redesign! Thank you for sharing this time lapse. I would very much like to build the mini version. Will be grateful if you could share a link of any drawings of the all metal version.
If you want to build a PrintNC, you really should join our discord group. Hit me up there and I will help with the first steps!
Hey Seb, what grease do you recommend using on the linear bearings and the ballscrews?
Hey dude, I use some standard white lithium grease !
Why did you put a wooden work plate on top of your aluminum work plate? I can see that you have also done facing on the aluminum fixture plate. What is the reason for the wooden work plate? Is it to absorb more vibration or to keep the X-axis parallel with the work plate or other reason?
No, I just use this wooden surface when I e.g. need to drill through parts, so that I don’t damage my aluminum bed
Which controller and software you use for this machine?
I use the flexi-hal controller (like 99.99% in the PrintNC community) together with IOsender on an old windows laptop. Pretty sure that’s most bang for the buck.
@@SebastianMusser Okay, thanks for the response. I also have another question regarding the milling cutter length sensor, is it some Chinese product? And I'm also interested in the sensor on the spindle, what model is it and where is it produced? Could you provide a link? I'm considering building my own CNC machine and I'm doing some research on the topic :)
@@rafal7217both are from aliexpress. Look for “3d probe” and “cnc tool setter”.
Built a full size one eh?! You must be planning ng on staying in the states for awhile then? Looks great Sébastien. You're addicted to making chips... That is for sure lol
really nice footage... one hint... please add those caps on the liniear rails... you will have huge problems when the small alloy chips get in to the bearings of the carriers... would be really annoying to tear down the machine for this issue...
I know. Thx for the tip. It’s on my list for the next weekend.
Do you find it accurate to zero your probe on your tool setter? In the material I’ve read I found it can be problematic as you don’t know which switch will move first.
I am very happy with it and this is a very common setup. I think both probe and toolsetter travel only 0.0x mm before they trigger.
That is one beautiful machine! Do you think it’s rigid enough to cut mild steel parts?
Yes, I think that’s absolutely possible. Maybe i try it this week and post another video :)
Now we're talking! This is my kind of footage! :) Can you provide the RPM, feed rate and depth of cut? Also, what spindle do you use? I would love to know... Working on my own CNC machine build and getting inspiration. Thanks for posting! Keep up the great work!
This was a 2d pocket toolpath with a 6mm 1F dlc coated bit and 18k rpm, 1.5mm doc and 3.6mm Stepover. It’s a 2.2kw watercooled spindle from gpenny / aliexpress
@@SebastianMusser thank you for the details. Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks again! Love the content! Keep it up!!
You are very welcome!
why did you not go with stock gantry rollers? where can i find the files?
Hi! compared to the v3 stock rollers, these rollers give me more z clearance and they are stiffer. I think you will find the CAD files in our discord!
What an incredible machine you’ve built, question did you build it to the exact dimensions and directions that are available? I’m thinking about building one myself. What is the actual cut area size?
Hey dude, the cutting area is ca. 950mm x 700mm. My machine is based on the printnc V3, but the V4 has just been released and it incorporates many of the "pro" mods/ elements that I did on my machine. Just visit us on discord!
How do you like the plywood wasteboard over the MDF that most people seem to go?
Honestly I dont see a big difference. When I bought it, I just went to Home Depot and got the cheapest 2ft x 2ft board that they had. I mostly use bluetape for holding the workpieces, and it adheres great to that plywood. So I would get it again :)
Doesn't the belt on the toolhead axis, rather weak?
Hi Sebastian, did you not use a lower support block on your z axis at all? Makes sense I guess as its a ver short ball screw supported by the ball nut. This would definitely save some room. Was wondering how it worked out for you considering this is how you left it.
👍👍👍 Sehr Sehr gut....
Do you some how flatten steel tubing before placing rails, or just put rail on tube without preparation of surface?
I checked the steel for flatness and it was very good. Therefore I just put the rails on.
@@SebastianMusser do you check the resulted flatness level of CNC after milling some parts? The order of the numbers: 0.1mm greater or lesser for work area.
@@starsolaris not yet !
Very satisfying!... Thank you for sharing it.
Looks great and cuts great! What endmills are you using?
Mostly bits from dreanique / aliexpress. The bits I use most are 6mm 1F and 6mm 3 F DLC coated cutters
How much did this cost in USD
Everything, including the controller and electronics enclosure was close to 1.5k usd. But I bought most of the parts in Germany and 2 years ago, so it might be more expensive now
@@SebastianMussernot bad for what you got out of it
What type of end mill are you using at 4:37? I am trying to get rounded corners on my parts
That’s a 6mm 45degree chamfering bit.
Is there any reason why you didn’t go for mirror finish on your parts?
Well, the printnc mini wasn’t perfectly trammed when I did the parts. And as it was freezing cold in my garage when I cut the parts, i just wanted the job done.
@@SebastianMusser will these imperfections show even after powder coating the part? I an asking cause my parts have similar linear markings ( but they are smooth to the touch). I could do a fine finish, but it takes a very long time
I think this depends on how accurate you tram your machine, the stepover you use etc, how sharp your tools are... etc
Hi Sebastian good to see another PrintNC PRO owner builder your machine ticks a lot of boxes, just saw you assembling the alloy gantry risers and recognized you machine from the discord small world, nice build mate keep up the good work Cheers Bill
Thx mate!
awesome build! Gave me some things to think about for mine! What do you think so far?
I did not really cut a lot with it yet because I had to build an enclosure first , but so far I love it.
I was just about to order my kit with a 4in wide gantry when I ran across your video. I like that the stepper motors and ball screws are mounted on the sides and not on the top as the original plans specified. Are there drawings available for the X gantry mounts or were they purchased?
Nothing is purchased. It’s all made on my printnc mini. Visit us via discord. There are some CAD files available
Didn't find where
@@migo6709 discord.com/channels/648972213734604807/1153454292880072714/1180306790743806042
Good job! Can You tell me somerhing about your stepper motor? Which type? And about motor controller?
Sure! I use nema23 closed loop steppers from “Lichuan”. The controller is a flexihal board from expatria.
Well done!
Love those new X mounts. So sturdy looking. Nice job on the build.
Wow! This looks WAY better of a design than when I built mine like a year or two ago. Amazing evolution in the pro design now.
Hey Seb, thank you so much for sharing this video. It is truly inspiring for folks who just want a small cnc that works. What is the thickness of the aluminium base you are drilling the holes into and did you face the surface or did you manage to find one that was already machined flat? Keep up the great work.
Hey, thx for that! The baseplate is 1/2“ thick and I did not face it. It seemed pretty flat to me. BUT if I had to do it again, I would get a baseplate that is NOT bigger than the working area of my machine. If I would have surfaced my plate, i had ended up with a sink/ a dip in the middle.
@@SebastianMusser Thank you for your reply. I suppose having a bigger aluminium base than the work area would be beneficial if the entire frame is directly screwed onto the base. I think that would give the machine extra rigidity and even reduce the harmonic vibrations. I am not any expert but just learned a few things watching hundreds of cnc builds on YT.
@@MP-mu1kw sure. Mass always helps.
@@SebastianMusser Curious to find out if it is necessary to use 2x linear blocks per rail on the y-axis. The x-axis steel tubing is screwed on top of one block instead of being positioned say in the middle.
Which controller board are you using ? And nema 17 or 23 for motors ?
I use the flexihal controller and nema17 closed loop steppers.
How do you like the flexihal controller
Thank you, very inspiring. I am in the process of planning a printnc mini myself. Your videos gave me the final shove to decide for a mini
Very nice! Did you source all the individual parts to build the printnc mini yourself, or did you buy a kit?
I sourced it on my own, but there is a BOM available
Awesome. Have a look at our discord. There are some guys who work updating that BOM!
Any chance you could share that design with me? I live by Cedar Point and this would make an awsome wall piece for my airbnb rental property by the park.
Sure. Just send me an email. You should find it somewhere „about this channel“
Or just channelname @gmail.com
Helo, nice build. Can you please provide the specs for steel tubing, length for linear rails, ball screw and stepper motor used? Thank you !
Hi, just check www.printncmini.com ! You can download the cad assembly there.
Nice work, do you have a chance to share the project?
Why did the blue spindle fan explode?
Because I ran into something:)
Is the fan flush with the bottom of the nut? Or did the fixture avoidance only accounted for the nut but not the fan?@@SebastianMusser
@@Timb0NZ it’s flush with the bottom of the nut.
What are the steel cutting capabilities of the machine? I really like that the normal PrintNC is capable of it. I'm debating if I want to build the mini or not, I think the mini would be a better fit for me but the belt drive makes me a bit hesitant..
@SebastianMusser It's wonderful to see how he works and cuts aluminum well. I would like to know if you could tell me the total measurements of the machine in X and Y. I searched for information on this issue, but on the project website there was no information on this version, Mini
Hi! The frame is exactly 500mm x 500mm (outer dimensions). The cable chain adds another 80mm to the right side.
@@SebastianMusser ¡¡¡Thanks for the quick response!!! I found a local supplier, with square tubes measuring 70x70x6 = €13.45 On the eje X I have a little margin, but on the eje Y I have limitations. With some 500mm tubes, what is the area that has fallen you? What husillos do you use? SFU1605? What are the measurements of the straps? Sorry for the interrogation
What hold down tape you using? Seems to be doing a very good job...
I use scotch #2090 !
Beautiful Job...You can be PROUD of that one...
can you tell me what Software your mill uses, looking to upgreade
Sure. The cnc runs grblhal
Не правильней было делать не из стали а из алюминия с магнитом!
Судя по текстуре от фрезы у станка проблемы с радиальным биением ШВП и малой жесткостью рамы!
Can this machine process steel?
Yes, i cut steel with it.
@@SebastianMusser Great! Thanx for sharing! Your experience helps to overcome fear and uncertainty.
Hidden motors look very nice and neat but that might lead to overheating and lowering life span. Personally I wouldn't hide them inside but since you already did I'd put some holes there to let the heat escape
They don’t get hot at all. Checked that several times :)
@@SebastianMusser ok then
What capacity spindle you using?
It’s a 1.5kw 80mm ER16 spindle.
