MPCNC Primo: Squaring the base

In this example I show you how I mounted the legs and the outside rail poles and then began to square them up

Listening to your explanation of locking the pipe length was like lightning to my brain....couldn’t figure out why I was having issues when I rebuilt my 525 (c). Glad I watched this for when I get around to build the primo!

[@amonus-air2160]

nice video! You really explained the process very well! I'll use this method when I'm at that stage. Thanks for sharing, subbed for more...😎👍

[@TheKencmh]

Thanks for your video. I'm just about ready to assemble mine. I'm glad i got to watch this. It saved going to save me some skull sweat.

[@EngineeredOutdoors]

Great method!

[@AlienRelics]

Yes! I much prefer using a physical object rather than a tape measure or ruler. This is much more exacting.

Just subscribed! Loved the videos, just wondering when the next update is, I'm looking to build one of these in the future as my first CNC Router. ;)

As soon as the Air Quality in Vancouver, WA drops to breathable levels. I can’t be in the garage right now 😳

[@lio1234234]

Ellson Engineering gosh, I live in England and we never have air quality problems, so I wasn’t really aware it was a thing. Hope it settles out and that you are doing alright. Good luck 😉

Мог бы вам подсказать , да уже поздно , слабое место этой конструкции это высота оси Z , вернее когда минимальная трубка у ножки то вы сможете обрабатывать заготовку максимум 20-25мм , а то и меньше , учитывая длинну фрезы. Соответственно люди ублинняют трубки ножек и получают высокую конструкцию = минус жесткость , весь этот "шалаш" на одну-две фрезеровок алюминия к примеру . Собственно к чему я все это писал , цель укрепить весь этот шатающийся "шалаш" , самый простой способ ставить такой станок в "песочницу" с бортами , трубки торцами упрутся в стенки и не будет шатания при боковых нагрузках фрезеровки. И еще , хозяин ролика так смело взял и поставил НЕ ОБРАБОТАННУЮ трубу , они бывают с вмятинами и тд , такие трубы надо отдавать токарю чтобы он снял по минимуму с внешней поверхности .

Thanks for the video. Have you considered making an MPCNC playlist to keep all related videos in one place?

[@ellsonengineering8082]

I would have to figure out how 😳

[@sallerc]

Thanks, will square my burly tomorrow.

[@jj8482]

Did you ever get to finish it??

[@ellsonengineering8082]

I did. Just prior to moving 🤣

[@muserbellamy1140]

Will you be putting supports on your pipes as it is 4ftx3ft as mine has some play

[@ellsonengineering8082]

I won’t. The previous 3/4” conduit worked really well. This is much thicker tubing as well.

[@xmeng21]

Very inspiring. Just be careful with the camera!

[@j3llyjar668]

What size is your MPCNC? Seems to be bigger than the "standard" 2'x2'

[@ellsonengineering8082]

It’s about 2’ x 3’ working area

[@3discnc424]

can i ask is this more rigid than the v1 mpcnc ?

[@ellsonengineering8082]

This is the 3rd edition of the MPCNC, each has gotten more rigid. Definitely so.
