Thanks for all the support on this build! If you also want a part of this build, I now have posters and shirts available with this design: merch.datulab.tech

Absolute amazing, love the way you are working and I also learned a few things. thank you!

[@hippie-io7225]

Congratulations! You did a great job with the acrylic. Way better than my first CNC project with plastic!

[@normanheck9593]

very nice. most acrylics can be flame polished if you want to get rid of the frosted look 🙂

You are real Tony Stark in this earth!!! so interesting, thanks dude

1st off props! It's super hard filming as you work year alone doing something new on your machine the 1st few times. My guess as to why you had "runout" on that little tool is because you're not putting the ER collet incorrectly (put the collet in at an angle or look it up) or using too small of a collet.. That same tool in a drill check will always have more runout than a collet unless something wrong. Great job!!

[@DarkArtGuitars]

That does play a big role, and I was able to improve it by reseating it. The problem at hand is that the ER collet is from ebay and cost $15, while the drill chuck is actually quite descent (came with the mill). You do tend to get what you pay for with cheap toolholders I am starting to find :D

Awesome video! Keep up the great work.

Excellent job! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

is stl files for buying ?

Great job, working with acrilic is a bit tricky speeds are a pain

[@DrG2k9]

No actually it isn't. Haven't noticed any problems so far. All you need is a good milling bit. Cooling isn't necessary if your speed is good. Of course I had to admit, that I made one or two test cuts before but my cutting data worked very well. The feed rate should be very high. I work with 16-18k rpm and a feed rate of around 2m/min. All I use is pressure air to blow out the dirt of the workpiece.

[@wofy1970]

@@DrG2k9 Thanks for the heads up, i tried a lot with my machine, got to a settings of 1.5 m/min and 12000 rpm seems to work for me, still have a bit of problems with smaller bits as they tend to snap at that feedrate and lowering it melts it but still working on it

[@DrG2k9]

What kind of but do you use. Sometimes it's also helpful to reduce the Z high per round.

Nice job like your videos. thanks

Hello, why don't you make zero in the upper corner, If you change the piece and it is not equal, the zero varies and if you do it above it does not change because it does not thread in the methacrylate and put conical screws, so the screws and nuts would not protrude and also center the piece, a greeting

[@infelicitatis]

Hey, i really like your projects and you are a great engineer. the videos are a little bit to slow for my YT-Taste though. Its great, that you talk the viewer through the process, but the videos would benefit from a script and faster time-lapses in my oppinion. Nevertheless great job though!

[@DarkArtGuitars]

Thanks for your feedback. Speed is something that is very subjective, I myself prefer faster videos too, however I know of many others that don't like videos that are too fast. So finding the balance is always a bit hard. In the meantime I can recommend you to just turn up the speed in KZbin a bit, I also watch most videos at 1.25 to 1.75 times speed.
