LARGE 3D PRINTED CNC FROM SCRATCH

For more information on the Flashforge Adventurer 4 go to www.flashforge.com/product-de...
I was in need of a large format CNC router so I made one. I designed all the 3D printed parts and structure in Fusion360 and then made all the cuts, holes and taps. The router is capable of cutting 10mm soft plywood really fast and I don't think I'll have any issues with any kind of wood cutting. It probably would be able to cut aluminium really slow too.
If you want to get the files for this router you can go to:

It would be nice to see a video on how you design the things. :)

[@erikhellman3974]

This, so much this. And a stream of him showing the process of designing a printer and / or CNC. Would be so helpful

[@ciderhat2760]

Yeah id love to see how he and other people design their machines

[@SeanHodgins]

The amount of work you put into your builds is insane.

[@aviator267]

The amount of work he puts into editing the video is insane

[@BrunoBostick]

its more the amount of money he saves...

[@matts1741]

When are you putting out a new vid lol

[@nkronert]

The video editing probably took longer than the assembly of the machine itself, but it does pay off! Very captivating to watch! 👍

[@timothyreyes5392]

I prefer your CNC design cant wait to see a larger version. Not expecting it to happen due to alignment issues and $$$$$ as it gets larger but yeah :)

[@joshuahuman1]

That plywood gear probably costs more than the machine with lumber prices lately

[@JustLocal]

😂🤣

[@scrhall]

I don't know if in Spain prices have also skyrocketed

[@DominicFawver]

Aluminum prices have also skyrocketed so probably not, but it is an awesome machine regardless.

[@chrisshort4198]

I was pricing up those aluminium posts a few weeks ago here in the UK, for 8 of them at 120cm was over £100 - i dread to thinmk how much those 6 or 8 footers cost!

[@djmjr77]

Probably just order the extrusions from china, then use the the month it takes to get them to print all those large parts .. lol 😆

[@duncanengeham4501]

Would love to see a behind the scenes video, where you talk about the design process, and nerd out on the slicer settings and speed it takes to print some of these components

[@converdb]

I´ve built myself 3 cnc machines, with mostly 3d printed parts and I´ve got to say you always amaze me with your way of approaching the most common problems you find in these machines, like bending in the gantries, specially this size. I find your mechanical skills pretty awesome, how you always find the way to maximize strength while keeping the thing as light as possible. You´re the man Ivan, superb job!

[@caliorbroke]

It would be fantastic to see a vacuum add-on for this build! Great work as always!

[@marsgizmo]

amazing project Ivan! 😎👏

[@mrkimkihwan]

와... 쩔었다... 이 채널만큼 3D Printer의 가능성을 보여주는 채널이 없는듯 Wow... it was crazy... There seems to be no other channel that shows the potential of 3D printers as much as this one.

Finally you can make those big wooden spacers you did not know you needed.

OMG! amazing!!! you make it look sooooooo easy to build!!!

[@mrwho30]

What a unit! Still not sure what is more fun - the assembling or seeing it in action.

[@OddlyIncredible]

Hey Ivan, if I might make a suggestion, consider investing in a set of counterbore bits - these are the boring bits designed to feed into drilled holes and cut wider, flat-bottomed openings to clear the heads of cap-head screws. (Not to be confused with countersink bits - a counterBORE bit cuts a flat-bottomed hole for use with screws with flat mount faces on their heads while a counterSINK cuts an angled hole for screws with angled head faces) Using a counterbore bit after drilling will allow you to place the screw heads inside the frame against the center of the extrusion instead of having heads and washers sticking out from its surface, which will make for a cleaner look and also prevent having potential "catch" points along the perimeter. (It'll also prevent distorting the outsides of the extrusions' profiles when the screws are tightened down.)

[@TD3DMakes]

Looks awesome Ivan! Can't wait to see all the BIG things you make with parts cut from your CNC!

[@jana171]

OMG Ivan you are fast @ 3:33 😁 But seriously, I like how you show everything and "speedskip" the boring parts in a musical synchronous way. You are the Master of Edit, and a damn nice Maker and inventor too ! I Love it !

Ivan Miranda, you should make a full one hour episode on how you should set up a 3d printer and cnc machine motherboard + stepper motor control module and how to intergrade (download) he software.and how to change the conversation on printing and milling size. Thanks for all the videos you do they inspire me to build things from scratch.

[@crazymajax]

Awesome build! May I suggest that you make a bracket attachment to the CNC drill head and attach your vacuum to it, that way you don't have to manually vacuum after the head.

[@markstevensfpv3722]

Well done Ivan 👍

[@Tarex_]

Great work as usual, 45 degree frame braces under the bed would allow for cutting stuff through the printer on the ground or engrave concrete floors or tiles or whatever, frame looks sturdy enough to handle not having so many center profiles

[@josecarloscarrion3652]

Vaya pasada!! Eres un crack!! Enhorabuena

[@AcrimoniousMirth]

You can help interference a bit by wrapping your cables in aluminium foil and/or adding ferrite cores to the main cables, especially the router. Also I don’t know what control system you have set up but CNC.js has made my life a lot easier!

[@donireland6218]

Very cool. But instead of chasing the router around with a vacuum hose, maybe add an attachment that will automatically bring a dust collection hose along for the ride.

[@davisdiercks]

Me: I wonder what those band-aids are fr- Ivan: * spins wooden gear around his bare hand * Me: ah

[@fernandoortiz1460]

You got some amazing skills sir, mr spacers

[@smickinfo1991]

Simply incredible!!!

[@3dpchiron709]

Entertaining and lots of good points. Wrapping the 3DP parts with carbon fiber tow + epoxy could improve stiffness (for higher feeds), like what's done on bicycles. Also strengthening the top X span.

[@sannyassi73]

Nice build! I look forward to building my first CNC machine when I get the Time/Money, it's going to be something similar to this- I mainly want to CNC wood and a build like this seems perfect.

Been watching you for a few years now, wondered why it is that i havent built my self a 3d Printer or CNC yet as you make it look so interesting and fun think the reason is that i dont have my own space but i do remember once you working under the stairs so i have no excuse :( thanks

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

I'm going to have to build a tiny one so you have no excuse at all 😉

[@testfag]

@@ivanmirandawastaken you and tiny those are some weird combinations you make XD

[@AcrimoniousMirth]

I know that feeling. Used to build all sorts of stuff until I moved to a smaller flat… been trying to find a garage or workshop I can rent with some friends but the market is dead.

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Haha! I can, I don't often, but I can.

[@brandonmack111]

It would be pretty funny to print your smallest 3D printer using your biggest one.

[@aserta]

4:34 One thing i'd change, is make the tensioners non-static on the carriage. A simple spring shim stock can make the wheels adjust dynamically rather than force the belt at all times. This is common place technology for large printers. And as you know, those require precision as well. This is more of a long term thing, as it doesn't wear the belt as much as a static tensioner does, nor does it put as much force on the frame, which is not the correct way (none of the industrial precision machines i've been inside of has ever been drum tight as most forums suggest). Just my 2 cents.

[@evanfinkle]

hey what do you mean by this exactly? where does the spring shim stock live? I get your point about the tension but can't picture what you are describing just yet... Hope you can help!

[@4theloot638]

Awesome job, you have a lot of good projects, keep up the great work. Maybe a 3D printer this size soon?
