I hadn't heard of Millalyzer before, but it's the easiest €59 I've ever spent. It's an absolutely phenomenal piece of software and I'm thrilled to have it in my arsenal.

agree, it's a game changer for pushing your limits!

A beautiful finish can be achieved by suspending aluminum parts in boiling lye until it turns black, rinsing in running water to remove lye residue, moving the part around while submerged in undiluted muriatic acid until the black residue is removed, performing a second water rinse to wash away the acid, moving the part around while submerged in ammonia to neutralize any remaining muriatic acid, performing a final water rinse, and then blowing the part dry with compressed air to avoid water spots in the finish. It sounds like a lot of work, but the pattern left behind turns common machined aluminum parts into a works of art. The lye/acid/ammonia process only takes about 5 minutes per batch of parts. Just make sure to suspend the parts using stainless steel wire. Also, never leave the parts in the boiling lye unattended. The parts must be removed as soon as they blacken. If left in too long (one of my employees once left a batch in while taking lunch), then the lye will remove too much material and ruin the parts. That said, the finish on the parts is worth the effort. Anodizing is another process that can be performed at home, and you can add dyes to create a wide range of colors in the hard finish.

Awesome Work too!

Awesome work! My only suggestion would be more flying saucer references, this part looks too much like one, lol. Keep up the good work!

I think you should make a cover for the y lead screw. I see a lot of chips going there and some are getting attached to the lead screw. Great work with Shapeoko HDM.

Thanks for sharing the converter! In case any tool authors are listening: it'd be really nice if import was built-in ;) GWizard has .tsv import but it has never worked for me and I'm going to have to give HSMAdvisor another shot. I'm also going to have to check out Millalyzer - as an apartment-dwelling CNC'er reducing noise is more important than speed/tool life and I'm excited to see if it can help!

Thanks for taking the time to cover how you achieved such a nice surface finish with carefully selected parameters. Did you do anything special to get the drilling operation to go so smoothly? I couldn't tell if it was a peck drill or if you used an actual drill bit.

They are actual carbide drill bits

Loving your content on the HDM. Looking to pick one up myself possibly. Random question: I live in suburbia and will also be operating this machine out of my garage. Is the noise audible from the outside of the house...like from a close neighbor's house? Especially considering you have it in an enclosure, I'm curious to hear your input on this.

@DIYEngineering 9 ай бұрын

I insulated my garage door and have cinderblock walls in the garage, depending how hard you push the machine the sound will vary. all things considered, you'll have an air compressor running (at least 10cfm) , sometimes a vacuum, plus the machine. outside while it is muted in my case, with the machine in the enclosure, it can still be heard, but nothing terrible, quieter than a router, around 50db, as a rule of thumb I dont mill after 6pm just out of courtesy. ;)

@@DIYEngineering thank you for getting back to me. I do have a fully insulated garage (including the doors) so hopefully it won't be too bad. And yes keeping the milling to reasonable hours is a good idea. Side note: my wife heard me listening to your videos and she heard you say you work for Disney. We want to know if you're an imagineer lol

@HSMAdvisor 2 жыл бұрын

Millalyzer is an interesting piece of software since It outputs detailed dynamic information. When I was developing HSMAdvisor I researched the possibility of adding this info but decided not to due to variations of the machine's own rigidity making most dynamic predictions inaccurate. Still, this gives me a thought of adding not only the average tool load and deflection but also the peak values which are affected by the tool engagement and helical angle..... hmmm. Bought their license just to see what they got :)

I agree, hsmadvisor is pretty awesome, if it could run some optimization process to give feedback on stresses and heat would help to know how much performance you’re leaving on the table…

@HSMAdvisor 2 жыл бұрын

@@DIYEngineering To be fair, HSMAdvisor already tells you how much an end mill can take by showing the % values on the Deflection and Torque gages. For light machining I leave them at 70%. But on industrial ones I had them at 70/150. When using aluminum-specific endmills it is safe to use HP/Roughing tool type. When values are green, it means the they have been optimized.

What 1" indexable face mill do you use? Would you recommend it?

Would be great if you could go into more detail on the seal. Channel size, seal material, etc.

Hi, I'm trying to find the cloud download for the Shapeoko HDM, but it doesn't seem to be there. There's only an unspecified Shapeoko 2.2kw profile. Is that the right one? Thanks

Cool project, really good finish. In fusion360, Shift-N will change the colors of each component to help tell them apart, may help for filming. (It can be turned off again to retain the applied colors) I've really been considering a router like this, how is the tool changing?

@JefferyS1000 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, on your first surface operation did you meant to say 12,000 rpm, not 1,200 rpm? I didn't think those spindles could go that slow. Also on your second tool you mentioned 1800 rpm but it looked on the screen to be 18,000 rpm.

@DIYEngineering 2 жыл бұрын

My mistake, yes! Only off by an exponential amount! Lol

@j.dietrich 2 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure he did mean 12,000 rather than 1,200. These Chinese spindles will happily go that slow if you're using a VFD with vector control. They have very limited torque so you'll only be able to take very light cuts, but it does work in a pinch. I've milled 304 stainless with a 2.2kw Chinese spindle, but I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you really know what you're doing.
