CNC - rebuilding

Hi all,

As far as you can see I did not have any drawings to this project. And now it take revenged. I made two real big mistakes, and now I have to disassembly almost everything. Only Y axis left, from previous state.
I have to take longer profiles for Z axis, and change holder for spindle.

CNC - ongoing

Hi,

Yesterday I made a progress in building my next CNC. I install Z axis support and spindle holder.

Plastic Z (for sale)

Hi,

I realized that I have a lot pieces of plastic, and some leftover parts from CNC. So I decided to build some small Z axis, that will be sold.
Technical parameters:
- supported rails 12 mm with 4 linear bearings
- Tr 10x2 screw with brass nut
- 0,4 Nm motor with direct connection to screw
- spindle holder 43 mm ( for example: KRESS)
- about 95 mm of movement range
It is still not finished as I do not have two ball bearings, that will be used to place screw, and I have to clean it up. But it will be done soon.
Some pictures:

Workshop reorganization

Hi all,

It is February already and I realized that I did not post anything. But there was a lot of work and changes from last time.
First of all I reorganize my workshop.

I made a "dirt" half, were ale machines are placed. In the corner on right you can see a place where will be new bigger CNC.

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.
