Assembling My Custom CNC Router Frame | The Frankenoko Project Part 2

[@gizmobowen]

He's ALIVE! I was just thinking that it's been a while since I've watched one of your videos. I always really enjoy your workflow and the projects you show. Thanks for making the time to share a new project.

[@JohnColgan.]

Great video, it's coming along. I remember you doing some prep work 2+ years ago. Glad you got back to this, be nice to see it all come together.

[@racnc1]

Nice to see you back. Thanks for your content.

[@thanemakes5377]

Good to see you back Winston!

[@naseradnan-ca]

Great video, Happy to see you back

[@forestbirdoriginals4917]

Awesome job Winston! I can’t wait for the next video. The machine looks awesome!

[@FrankGraffagnino]

whoa... nice transition of that video of the aluminum plate to the fusion 360 model!

[@nunyabusiness3612]

Awesome as always Winston, thank you 🙏🏾

[@mr_voron]

Winston, this is awesome! Great seeing you at Open Sauce again this year. Thanks again for signing my big printer. Excited to see the next steps in this journey.

[@dirtdart81]

Every video a gorgeous experience, thanks!

[@Todestelzer]

8:05 yeah I feel you. Plumbing into a hole with a 60€ tool is always frightening 😅

[@MarkusHamm-l4l]

Super looking CNC Machine! Great job!

[@mr_voron]

Here we go!

[@ulysses895]

Awesome project!!! Would love to see a video on upgrading the Nomad 3’s spindle. That little machine needs more love!🤙

[@C3DPropShop]

Looking good 👍 Frankenoko singing the song of its people was.... ugh, chefs kiss 👨‍🍳 💋. Big stoopid aluminium make happy noise. 🎵

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. Super machining and engineering. Mahalo for sharing.

[@fluxpawlynx]

The CNC machine is looking good. Nice bumping into you again at OpenSauce!

[@bArda26]

great work!

[@howetyr]

I totally get the hoarding issue! I am party to this.

[@tryphontournesol427]

Great video !

[@DavidM2002]

I have designed and built 3 CNC routers / mills. One thing that I learned is to not assume that everything will be square when assembled. Usually builders will all for the Z axis to be squared to the bed. But, the X -Y axis squareness needs to be addressed as well.

[@WinstonMakes]

Wise words. I do have a plan to address that once the gantry and electronics are installed. And it's why I'm probably going to steal upgraded electronics from the Shapeoko 5 rather than reuse the Shapeoko 3 controller so I can rely on independant Y-axis homing on each side of the machine.

[@howetyr]

By the way, I can get you any threaded tapped table tops. We do these for co-bot tables. Drilled, tapped, anodized.

[@iwannaratrod]

How can you tell Winston has been working with industrial machining centers? "Cycle Start". :)

[@iuliancalin22]

the .02 mm joke got me so hard 🤣

[@fieur]

Me too, since i'm german i feel he could've done better

[@WinstonMakes]

😂 in my head, I imagined Marius Hornberger's voice of disapproval.

[@DarkArtGuitars]

"I'm not German or Swiss, so that's good enough for me" I'm currently building a CNC and am both Swiss and German... Not sure if I should be scared of integration hell or take it as a compliment :D

[@peterg902]

What are the T-Track extrusions that also hold the spoil MDF pieces called, and where can one purchase please?

[@XXCoder]

Fun one :D

[@bradlyjohnson60]

how do you get motion too reconize the bigger cutting area on the shapeoko 3xxl mines thinks it still has the stock bed size

[@WinstonMakes]

If you're running the latest version of Carbide Motion (v6), you need to run the setup wizard again. Otherwise, I believe it's in the settings.

[@bradlyjohnson60]

@WinstonMakes I am running the latest carbide 680. I just got the machine and in new too cncs, it's upgraded too a 32"x56" the x seems to be right but my y only does about half the table, so if I go into debug and in machine settings? In there it give max x z and Y values is that where I make the changes?

[@automan1223]

How were you threadmilling dry ? Datron cutters have some black magic !!

[@WinstonMakes]

I'm going light on the cutters, slightly smaller feed per tooth than I'd usually go. That means finer chips that are easier to blow out of the hole and less likely to clog. Need a sharp cutter for this, so you're still forming a chip and not grinding out dust.

[@automan1223]

@@WinstonMakes Datron makes some incredible tooling

[@jesusmachado9087]

Are the nomad tubes available anywhere?

[@WinstonMakes]

No, but you don't need Nomad tubes to do this. Any thick-walled extrusions would work. I'd recommend 2x2" square profiles.

[@marccretten]

Love this, what cnc was used to mod the plate?seems quite capable with Alu

[@WinstonMakes]

That was a Shapeoko 5 Pro with an 80mm VFD spindle.

[@debuti]

Everything in this video is a horrible idea

[@WinstonMakes]

I will subscribe if you make a better machine.

[@dadealeus]

Care to elaborate? -or just want to throw out an insult without backing anything up?

[@C3DPropShop]

Holy cow, thanks for letting me know! Such an insightful and helpful warning for our collective safety. We rejoice 🎉
