CNC upgrade kit for TTC 450 two trees installed and tested, C&T ep 328

[@gigaphonicon]

I hear Tim Allen instantly lol I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was a huge fan of his stand up and tv show. Thats a huge upgrade I like it.

[@DJRHurls]

Just received my TTC450 w/ the upgraded spindle. For wire management I opened the chain and ran the new wire along side the original wires.

[@SirTools]

Cool

[@YarFreedago]

I just got a TTC450 as my first CNC Router for my woodworking hobby and learning. The stock spindle is under powered, drew too much power from the controller causing it to crash when running. I did buy the 500W Spindle upgrade at the same time as the TTC450. While using the 500W Spindle upgrade cost you the ability to control speed from the software, it makes up by not over drawing power from the Contoller. The 500W Spindle changed the TTC450 from an ok CNC machine to a very good CNC machine. I have ran several projects on the TTC450, learned a lot, and so far I am a fan of the TTC450 w/500W Spindle upgrade.

[@SirTools]

Good to hear about that first spindle. I didn't have trouble, but others did. The upgrade is pretty cool and I've again no problems with it. Just need more time to play. Wife says I already get too much play time with it LOLOL

[@farside87]

I can definitely see the advantage with an upgrade to this CNC. It was already a great product, but with this new head it will be even better.

[@SirTools]

It looks like it's serious now LOLOL :)

@@Twotrees3Dofficial Will there be a (universal) option for dust extraction for the TTS 450?

[@Mooncakealive]

Thanks for this very informative video. It helped me a lot. I ordered the TTS 450 with the 500 watt motor (and the L5.5 watt laser) in a bundle. And I'm happy about that, because 80 watts (according to TT's website) for a router is actually a joke. Greetings from Berlin (Ge). 🙂

[@SirTools]

Thanks for this posting. I like the "NEW" price on the TTC 450 AND the laser, wow...you've got some work to do :)

[@ВитШе]

Hallo, sind Sie mit dieser Maschine mit 500-W-Motor zufrieden? Kann es Holz fräsen und ist es robust genug? Planen Sie, auch eines zu bestellen. Danke schön.

[@SirTools]

👍👍👍

[@kenluning909]

Awesome Variable Spindle Drive. I usually set the collet on my spindle to just below the lowest part of the verticle travel assembly. That way no matter how tall a workpiece I have, I will not run the collet into the piece. Ask me how I know. 😁

[@SirTools]

ha hah....YOU TWO uh ? LOLOL

[@kenluning909]

@@SirTools Either the spindle collet or the bracket that extends to the bottom of the assembly. Drug that one across a table top once as I had a tall workpiece and had the router motor mounted to high up to compensate. Had to do some creative H2O application and sanding. LOL

[@SirTools]

Better it was you and not me LOLOL..

[@axelSixtySix]

I used to fix the spindle as high as possible to limit leverage.

[@SirTools]

Price for the upgrade kit will be posted once it is available, so check back when you can

[@claudiototaro5608]

hi, i'm from Switzerland, and i have this "little" toy at home (it works great), and an other CNC (vevor 3040 working only with Mach3Mill). I'd like to change the ER-11 collet by a ER-16 because i've some tools they are in 7 to 10 millimeters. I've tried to unscrew the 2 littles black screws, but it seems the part over the collet is glued to the main motor axis. is it the same on yours? Thanks a lot for your videos, it' a pleasure to see theme

[@SirTools]

I've got to ask a question here. Do you have the upgrade kit ? The collet does the same trick here with the screws.

[@claudiototaro5608]

Yes, the official 500w upgrade.

[@SirTools]

Checked mine here and same deal mmm...

[@claudiototaro5608]

A specialist just told me to put a dissolvent inside it, and if that doesn’t work, try to heat it slowly

[@SirTools]

I was thinking heat, but.....gray area for me ....careful with the heat :)

[@cutefoxRC]

Hi :) you said this is a brushless motor in the 500W kit, but i see only 2 power wires coming out of the motor, brushless motors use 3 wires. Also i wonder if the default 180w spindle will be able to cut carbon nicely enough?

[@Chilternflyer]

I've got one. It's brushed, not brushless! You'll need the 500W spindle to cut carbon.

[@nerdCopter]

+1👍nice mod. hope to get cnc some day.

[@SirTools]

Looking good,, but the price is interesting.

[@i4gtit]

Awesome reviews! I'm thinking to get one, but i'm wondering if it is possible to mill a 50mm thick piece of foam stock with a 51mm long bit with this?

[@SirTools]

That might be an interesting experiment. Softer materials call for higher cutting speeds mmm

[@i4gtit]

true, i'm currently cutting on a bigger machine with a 500W spindle at 15000 and it works without a problem. I think with lesser feedrate and at 12000, it should be alright also. @@SirTools

[@SirTools]

I was thinking federate might need adjustment...>GOOD...darn good stuff

[@K40Keller]

Hey, maybe you can give me a hint. Which Post-Processor for exporting the Code you use? I know, GRBL... But i have issues with the Z-Axis. I will engrave in the Air ;) I am not sure which Format is the right one.

[@SirTools]

I'm using UGS which is a free download program. You can do your set up on other programs, but I import to ( Universal Gcode Sender) and then run from the computer direct to the CNC.

[@henrymach]

Try to get a tachometer and measure the actual rotation speed. Mine looks exactly like this one but only goes up to 10K RPM. No complaints otherwise

[@SirTools]

Same here, but the highest speed does the trick.

[@bclp52]

2 months ago when i brought my machine the upgrade was availble and was 150.00 us

[@SirTools]

Proof of "time travel" TwoTrees would not allow me to release this until April 15th because it is "NEW"

[@paulmason114]

Think I may have had too many coffees, just assembled the TTC 450 plug 500 watt motor in NO GO plug the 180 watt in and RUNS what have I missed is it software have not plugged it into computer yet HELP from NZ

[@SirTools]

WoW ! This is a FIRST ! The new 500watt comes with a separate speed control, and those two tiny wires that go for the old spindle. mm..check your wiring first I'd say ! and let us know.

[@jafethernandez5032]

Its Is posible add a Laser module and control It with the control board of this CNC equipment?

[@SirTools]

I've heard this, but no idea for TwoTrees.

[@user-howard417]

Good day, Quick question, when you hooked up the New spindle , did you have a problem with the control wiring from the old Motor?? I'm asking Because I upgraded some time ago and I was just doing some repairs to my machine last night and I unwired my motor and I may have Mistakenly Switch the wires and now my spindle doesn't operate! so I think I may have Burned out the little relay inside the controller ? Did you experience anything like this? Please let me know thanks. Howard

[@SirTools]

Hi Howard, you might have the spindle shut off in your software. I had no issues, but depending on which software you're using mine keeps shutting off the spindle until after I reset. Did you use the wire colors like mine ? I HOPE you didn't do the relay in. I do not think you did, but....mmm

[@user-howard417]

@@SirTools thanks for getting back to me, no, it’s definitely not the program, I think I did the relay in! I have to open it up and check it out. Thanks for getting back to me though I’ll let you know!

[@SirTools]

I hope it's simple and good luck at this point.

[@wesleyarmoo]

Just got this new TTC 450, after assembling, the Z-axis isn't moving on the X-axis... can you please help me fix

[@jodiemartine]

[@user-howard417]

Good afternoon, could I ask you for a huge favor? I need to get a copy of the software (firmware) that came with this machine. I got mine about three weeks ago and the thumb drive was blank or my laptop will not read it. Two Trees has not got back to me and I'm very frustrated that I can't get my machine operable. If there is any way you can send me the files I would be grateful ! Your videos are awesome and I have learned a lot already about cnc in short time. thanks in advance, Howard

[@SirTools]

Hi Howard and I hate to ask but are you using UGS ? The thumb drive or Micro SD card on mine had nothing on it. I simply plug my laptop in and run the CNC with UGS. Some programs will not work from 3rd party and so I import the G files into UGS to run the machine. Let me know what is going on and I'll try to help you out.

[@user-howard417]

@@SirTools thanks for your response, I received a link from Two Trees with the software. My machine is up and running ! thanks again !

More POWER 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrMatador1955]

I purchased recently a two trees ttc 450, im getting a error code ¨ hard limit ok¨´ on the screen, i tried to disconnet power several times n still the same error on the screen, is there something i can do?

[@SirTools]

Yes, my last error code on a CNC, I added a gcode line that reset to factory, and that fixed the issue.

[@MrMatador1955]

@@SirTools Thank you for replying! How id do that!

[@SirTools]

I'd check other KZbin videos to get all the info you need for adding that into the Gcode. It has worked for me.
