Can you make the z axis taller and upgrade the spindle to cut through metals?? Would love to see something small and Inexpensive like that!

[@thomasohme9571]

Hey, Can someone link me the 3D Printed part seen in 15:30 ? Its not in the Thingverse Files. Thanks

Whenever I've been warned that you've posted a new video, I first look at its length (hoping that the longer the better ;), then I schedule the best time to watch it. It's a piece of entertainment and a great piece of achievement as well. We're on sunday and I appreciate your effort, your seriousness and your pretty good imagination. Thank you Nikodem. I'm sure that this spindle-based CNC will be much better on all aspects than your very good dremel solution. Can't wait the very first tests. Have a great week!

kzbin.info/door/KXj2f0uAPn_1deOyKX69DQ I was thinking off making that one

[@pawelchmura831]

This is definitely going to my "to do" list. Great, simple design...and great video too.

[@quinnyrethus]

Glad you did a spindle version. I just finished doing my own which I converted from your Dremel CNC. Look forward to your spindle tests especially with Aluminum.

[@curtissoong6641]

Fantastic upgrade. I have been just finished printing all the parts for the first version of your Dremel CNC and am waiting for some of the other parts to ship from China. Now, instead of purchasing a Dremel, I have just placed an order for the 500w spindle, and will have to print the Z-carriage for the aluminum spindle mount. Thank you for your great designs. You are inspiring.

[@nikodembartnik]

Thank you!

[@mrcamperon]

great project. if you going to do second part, consider to explain configuration of the arduino with the grbl software & create easy cad example (fusion 360) project and run on cnc . most of the KZbin CNC show how to build the machine but don't show clear the step of software,configuration, CAD and run projecton the cnc . cheers from Australia nice to see younger generation with great skills

[@coconutjoe666]

I'm surprised that you never made pre made kits, I would buy one In secs

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

I don't think it would be economical compared to people making it themselves.

The best things is providing spreadsheet with the required parts! Thank you very much :D

[@billsmythe8169]

Loving all the projects. I'd like to make a suggestion for your drill press. Make a block the same height as the base or your drill press so you can stabilize the work to ensure you drill a straight hole.

[@christopherlee3045]

For my build I 3D printed cable carrier down the side it made it look great and all wires neatly tucked away

[@fataxe1]

you can't really use steppers for thrust support. They'll work for whip, but they use a spring washer for lash control and that isn't the greatest for backlash. This would probably be fine for 3d printing loads, but not for CNC routing. i would redesign for a captured pillow block if i were you.

[@Tigerling08]

Dear Nikodem Bartnik, I have built your 3D Printed CNC and started milling some calibration objects like a 20x20mm square out of 3.5mm acrylic. The problem I came up was that the x and y dimensions work just fine and I was able to calibrate them just fine but the z axis slaggs down in the milling process so that when it tries to mill the tabs and cut the piece free from the material, on the side where it starts it cuts way to high (like 0.3mm) so that it leaves some material on that side then it continues with the next side a litle bit lower then with the next one a little bit lower and then at the final side it cuts how it should (cuts through the material and leaves the tabs). I have moved the x and y axis very close to the bottom plate to verify that my build is not the problem. So I am assuming that it is a software problem but I have no idea where to look. I am looking forward to hearing from you and I hope you can help me P.S. I can send you some images of the parts that i milled.

Great video. This is one of the few times I've been able to say that I like the music in the video.

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks!

[@MikeysLab]

With the spindle power supply, could you not replace the old school pot for speed control with a I2C digital pot and possibly an op amp to allow the Ardino/PC to control the spindle speed? Not sure if GRBL supports this, but would be a simple enough code modification to make it work.

[@ChapuzasconRober]

You are brilliant! I just discover your channel and it is impressive. Congratulations!

[@3dtecstudio]

Hey Niko, thanks for your design! I upgraded it a little bit to get more space and mill heavy metals :DD Thanks ❤

You don't know how much i love you ! Thanks you very much for this awesome project ! A thanks from France !

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

09:00 would the little angle grinder wheels for a rotary tool work to cut those lead screws?

[@thebeststooge]

Easier, and better allowing more materials to be worked, would be to replace all of those linear rods with linear rails and blocks. More expensive but well worth it in the end.

[@TheWolfbass]

Great music, man! I'm used to hearing plastic techno muzak playing in videos like this. It really does make a difference!

I am using the same spindle. The noise is caused by the fan connected at the top of the motor shaft. While running at low speed, I shaved the fan like a wood lathe to balance it. It is now very silent.

Hi Nikodem, do you have the updates 3D STL files to use the spindle (replacing the Dremel)? Regards.

[@sallerc]

Regarding the coupler you mention @ 8:24 I'm sure you know already, but there are cheap aluminum couplers on banggood, google search "5mm to 8mm flex coupler". Anyway, keep up the good work. I'm impressed by all the time and work you put in to these projects!

i just want to point out that th3e CNC shield you have isn't compatible with GRBL 1.x it was designed for GRBL 0.9 and lower, and there were some major pin swaps between 0.9 and 1.x

[@simonwatson2399]

Damnit I hate videos like this. Really well done, great accompanying material. Looks like I've found another project to spend time on!

[@MP-mu1kw]

Excellent video! Would love to hear from those who have built this CNC. What is the useable workarea size of this CNC, especially when used with the new 500W spindle?

[@Moonrakerd]

balance your fan on top, you can get it a lot quieter ;] try rotating a few times and test, I had that problem with my 300w motor

[@trhosking]

Could you please add the Fusion 360 file to Instructables? I have a bunch of Rexroth extrusion so I need to tweak the design to accomodate the different dimensions.

[@multimargejta123]

Can you use standard threaded rod instead of this with trapezoidal threads?

[@evertspies3345]

Hi I wonder how you selected the diameter of the polished rods, 12mm. The lead thread which one are you using. From your BOM I see its 8mm but is it T8.2 Is this not a bit slow. Normally used for z axis.

[@rizwanabdullah6897]

Hello, This is an amazing video but I am a noob at electronics so I was wondering how I would connect 2 motors on one axis on the cnc shield?

muchas gracias.. se podria hacer en ves de 300mm a 450mm de ancho?? de largo esta bien los 500 pero veo que se queda bastante chico los 300mm. gracias de antemano

[@thehydroblade]

What type of filament did you use for the blue parts? I've been considering either PETG or ASA for my build.

What a great video series, I've subscribed! I do not have access to a 3D printer, have you thought about putting a packet together with all of the 3D printed parts and charging for them? In fact, what about everything, except Dremel, that is needed to build one of these, screws rails, printed parts, electronics etc. I know I might be interested, depending on cost and shipping.

[@mikagorzaw3354]

Nikodem what about grounding? i saw on different sites that there is no warning and info that the potentiometer is also dangerous to use as much as whole power supply of the same reason- no ground.

[@MouseFightBackStage]

I have the frame built, but have lead screw issues. I used links in the parts list, but Banggood sent me a mix of T8x2 (2mm on one rotation) and T8x8 (8mm on one rotation). In this video, it looks like the longer ones are T8x2 and the shorter ones are not. What are others using? I can’t find a definitive answer. I’m guessing everything should be T8x2 and Banggood sent me the wrong thing. In one package the screw they sent was t8x2 and the nut was t8x8, so I’m sure Banggood is at fault.

[@dratsi0117]

Do you think buying a stronger/better spindle andpaying to get metal 3d parts would make this able to do some aluminum? Just thinking.

[@liveen]

just in case someone has the same amount of braincells as me, the collet mentioned in the intro is not the outer part. Its basically a metal thing with cuts at one end that can be clamped together by the thing you put it inside (hence the videos where you see people using a wrench on that outer shit every time they switch endmills (bits). figured id save someone the time of googling here. ER11 collet is the shiny metal thing with "blades" / cuts, thing around it is the shit you twist and tighten. This has been your daily dose of Explain Like I'm You
