SUPER cool!

I like the mini drill press you had already - what were you doing that overwhelms it?

I'm subscribing! Love this. I hope to make it one year. Once I have a garage to put in! Can't wait to see the iterations!

Interesting have you thought about using lvl crete for fill. Maybe some loctite or thread tape as well 10:13 that screw is backing out.

Fantastic work. Followed!

Can we have access to the cad files? I want to use MGN15 linear rails with a 2020 tslot between.

Good job 👍

Can't wait for a milling machine

This build is amazing! I'm thrilled and honored that you've shared this build with me.

This is so great! I just designed coffee grinder using the 3D printed concrete mold idea. It basically is a two part 3D printed concrete mold that is designed to mount to a Timemore CS3 Pro. I used a cheap Aliexpress DC motor and controller board to power it.

For the bed. Look at low end linear rails (MGN 12 or 15mm) and supported shaft (SBR12 or 16mm) These can be bolted onto T Slot or replace the T Slot. The bed centres for the 2060 hold down bolts look to be 40mm apart. This is also the spacing for MGN15 linear rail. MGN15 uses M3 bolts. A mod would include more space between the rails so that a 2020 t slot will stop/brake the tailstock.

Nice work!! But how did you ensure the head and tailstock were concentric and parallel?

interesting vid. to be pedantic it's not concrete though; no ballast

This is one of the coolest things ive seen in ages !!! Well done !!!

This is genius!

I was already thinking about buying a 3D printer, after seeing this video am I completely convinced that I need a 3D printer. Amazing work

I’m gonna have to try this. Though I don’t have a cool derelict fort nearby, I may be able to find an alternative

I use cylinders printed in flexible resin with friction tape applied to the contact surfaces, joined under pressure.

Any chance of you showing us how to wire up the motor in a video? And any chance you'll add a cross slide carriage with those little wheely handle things? I'm a wood worker! I don't what they're called! XD

2 notes, hopefully I'm not stepping too far out of line: - if you're looking to upgrade the turn-table, I think a 3d printed bearing might be good enough as you don't really need it to withstand much pressure and at this size, even a 3d printed one will work well. Designing it with cylinders instead of balls will help with the specific nature of 3d prints. It could also use an option to arrest it in place, perhaps I missed that. - from what I could see just in the video from you and your family and friends manipulating the vice, the ball joint slips a little despite it's heft. I think I've already seen you work with a magnet switch so naturally my mind went to "put metal around the outside perimeter of the hemisphere and a magnet switch in the base" to increase or decrease the resistance by turning the base magnet on and off. Nothing fancy, just some nuts inserted from the inside. Not sure just how powerful you'd need the magnet to be in order for the resistance to make a difference though. PS I just saw your upgrade of this build in the recommended, but I already typed this so..

The Minecraft Creative music in background is such a nice touch :D

Just buy a normal lathe they are cheaper than what u spent in this video

This looks exactly like something I've been thinking about! I wonder how expensive/effective it could be to size it up a little, and upgrade the parts to be able to turn metal.

I thought I had minecraft open in the background. But no it was the video background music

Why do you not use polymer concrete? It would make the parts much stronger and dampen vibrations. It does not cost a fortune

If you make the frame a tad taller, it probably'd be simple to add a locking screw. Though I don't think it really needs it myself.

Bonjour et bonne année, construction du tour en cours, j'èspére une suite avec vis mère et chariot . Bravo pour vos réalisations et votre partage.

Use a concrete mortar bag much like a cake frosting bag with tips or a tube.

oh my god thats one of the most briliant ideias ive ever seen

This Idea is incredible..... I feel like it just opened up a whole new world of ideas for me.... I might even try printing a garage full of tools. time to do some research.

Outstanding idea! I'll be following along!

Can I use my lathe to make a 3d printer

very excited to see where this goes, would love to be able to have a small lathe for projects

@Borgedesigns This looks like an amazing build. I found it on your printables page. It doesn't mention anywhere what type of filament is recommended for each part. Do you have any insight on that? All PETG, all PLA? Any ABS? I look forward to your response.

what kind of concrete vibration is that? so small and nifty excellent for small concrete project on removing air bubbles.

What's DND?

What an absolutely brilliant idea; so very innovative. I wonder whether you have ever considered using something like lead shot to add bulk to the lathe? I suppose it would need to be 'bound in' with something, some sort of filler perhaps. Although lead would obviously be more expensive than concrete. Perhaps just sand on its own would work.

Have you considered using granite & epoxy mix instead of concrete? Several CNC projects here on youtube are using it.

The soldering holder is quite inspiring... ;)

should 3d print some funnels for the cement.

mäx$zell -.- have dözence? ^ ^

Build a hopper to attach to the filling ports. It pressurizes the crete if filled, making it seep into crevices better and set harder, also easier to fill. Use phone glue for temporary seams/seals. Use superplasticizer in the crete, makes it thinner or stronger depending on your need. Use fibre reinforcement to prevent local chipping of the crete, loose particles are a long term issue around moving parts.

I'm curious on these machines: do you go through a lot of failed prints or redesigns? I've designed some intricate 3d printed parts, but feel like I go through at least 3 prints that don't work out for whatever reason until I have a functional piece

GENIOUS

Is it possible to place a threaded rod through the extrusion for the tool rest base and place a small turning knob on the end of the threaded rod? Also instead of the tool rest would it be safer to design a tool holder using some bolts or grub screws for the cutting tool?

adding concrete to boost the durability and rigidness of a 3d printed tool seems extreme but the results are clear, i think id use clay, make the device using ur 3dprint as a model then get it baked and just add bolts were needed, But i like clay. Also there is a glue out there that "melts" 3d prints to become one whole build.

I like testing things for durability. Does this pass a drop impact test?

Came for the lathe, stayed for the Minecraft music
