How I integrated a deployable probe into my PrintNC and the Rapidchange ATC!

[@xyzspec82]

Never thought I'd hear my channel name on other people video 😮 So I got to thank you for that 😊 Very well done my friend, I like what you did to the probe arm, removing some weight out of it. Feels good to inspire others. Best of luck bruh 🙌🏻

Hi Sabastian nice addition to your machine and the pocketed bracket looks trick thanks for posting the video cheers Bill

Hab noch nie so einen Werkzeugwechsler gesehen. Sehr interessant!

[@arg-maker-garage]

good work!!! you give me some idea for my new CNC..... great from Italy Antonio

[@android4cg]

Super gemacht!

[@my.techlab]

Good Job.. more milling video please

[@miniwinisbastelbude]

great work! i like it!

[@SebastianMusser]

I also use antimicro. Works great

[@MTFreestyler]

The motion with mine is quite jerk. Did you make a custom profile? I like how you seem to change speed settings easily. I used to do that with the LB button when using gsender but I'm not sure how to do it on iosender

[@ferriswhitehouse1476]

woah woah woah woah you can make an ATC system that screws on a collet nut??? Thats so cool

[@grandmastersreaction1267]

How did you make sure that the probe is as perpendicular to the work table/parallel with the spindle? Set screws or?

[@SebastianMusser]

Hey! It doesnt have to be perfectly perpendicular, because the probe has a ballnose / tip (diameter 2mm). Regards!

[@grandmastersreaction1267]

@ ohhhhhhh okay! So that would only be necessary if it was installed in the spindle? I’m guessing since the probe is off set to the spindle it doesn’t matter if the probe is angled?

[@MTFreestyler]

What is your setup like with the xbox controller? Yours seems a lot more fluid of a motion than mine. I'm using antimicro.

[@IVAN_ENT]

Have you noticed any sort of wear on the spindle collet threads or anything using this atc method? Reccomend it? Thinking of building a printnc myself soon

[@SebastianMusser]

@@IVAN_ENT the nuts of course have some scratches, but apart from that I don’t see any substantial wear. And yes, I can recommend it. But first build your cnc and get used to it. This is nothing to start with :)

[@jamieclarke321]

Is there any way to have a probe in the ATC itself?

[@SebastianMusser]

@@jamieclarke321 yes, there are wireless probes. But of course they cost more

[@scratchbuiltdesigns]

Have you already done some thread milling, or boring ops with rapid changes of direction? I have had a retractable 3D-Finder probe on my UHPC mill...It had two issues: 1. The inertia of the small probing tip caused the probe to trigger during these ops. EdingCNC ignores probe inputs during a running job, so it was just annoying. But if your software doesn't, you need to disable the probe during a running job 2. Ultimately the probe was destroyed over time by the vibrations. It bounced and consequently triggered not reliably anymore I hope you have more luck with your setup 👍

[@SebastianMusser]

@@scratchbuiltdesigns that’s interesting. I have done some heavy cuts but the probe hasn’t triggered yet. And it’s still working fine. But i will keep an eye on that. Thx!

[@mattivirta]

@@SebastianMusser worst probe if trigger only vibrations maybe loose spring need new strongest springs, and can closed probe pin in software code if have vibration wrong trigger at probe, or add switch when probe input have connect or not.when probe go move to down switch make probe ON and switch make off when probe go back up. IF have vibraton problem. most not have.

@05:20 Not too fond of it moving *_ALL_* three Axis ( Z included ) at the same to to get to the X0Y0Z0 Workpiece Corner 🤔 I'd rather prefer an X0Y0 approach fist followed by Z0 as the last step as it ensures there will be nothing in the way of the the Tool until it reaches X0Y0 🤨 ( At least its not as bad as Openbuilds Control Software which moves Z to Z5 first and *_THEN_* does a X0Y0 thus reliably snapping off Tools on *_ANY_* workholding solution their Machines come with )

[@SebastianMusser]

@@Duraltia yes. I did G0 x0z0y0 only for the video :). Normally I do it just as you described

[@NiclasGudmundsson]

What was the other guys channel ?

nice machine, my cnc problem have linuxcnc not understand how make tool lenght code working, and same problem add button and start/stop new 2,2KW water cooled spindle and start pump and stop pump after spindle has stop need time x then pump stop. can i add relay to 5 axis step or dir pin ? cheap paraller port breakout board have one relay but need add external 1-2 relay more. output have 5 axis but i use only 3 axis XYZ and pin 17 go to relay on/off. input i have E-stop,XYZ limits and probe, all working ok, hall meter. but anywere forum or other NOT have how make button and how make tool lenght probe G38.2 . and how add 1-2 relay more to pump and spindle. board own relay working on/off, but need biggest better button to display. and future dream have controller VFD spindle speed too in display. lot problem because not understand how make linuxcnc code, etc, button, call tool height makro, button controller relay, and can make stop time wait x time then stop relay/pump.

The audio sucks! Couldn’t finish the video!
