CNC - ongoing

Hi,

I have done some progress in assembling this CNC. Y plate had connected all linear bearings and screw. It was easy to set and axis is moving smoothly. Z screw was installed. Photos will show, how it looks.


Workshop heating


Hi there,

I had a problem with warming in my workshop. But anymore problems. I bought a ceramic propane heater. It works great. Workshop warms up about 5 degrees in 1,5 hour.  I work there with pleasure.

 

I  have to work a little bit on the ventilation to work more efficiently, and the cold air was heated in some way before returning to the workshop. In January, plans to rearranging the furniture thoroughly and put two partitions. This will reduce the areas which will be warmed. At the same time separate part of the work (where the equipment is working) on the part of the build machine and electronics.

CNC - ongoing

Hi there,

Today only some photos of things that I made and received

Housing for bearings I made from Aluminum. For Y and Z axis. Only need to install them on frame.
Headstock from DIY lathe. I bought it from one guy from forum. Tool Holder for ER16 collet. I will create spindle from those part.
But now all work is stopped. I have only 4 Celsius degrees in workshop. I have to find source of heat to go back there and work.
