This looks awesome. Have some of Sly's revisions been added to the most recent documents? I converted all of the CNC DXF documents to older AI files to give to my CNC guy to cut mine out of PVC. I think I may just build the standard build and then use it to upgrade itself slowly using some of Sly's ideas. Let me know if you get documentation on building your machine. Looks great!! sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid/page/2#post-647 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 01:53:33 +0000 sly 647@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ It would go faster but the Linux emc2 system ran out of gas. one of the guys here is going to remake one off my changes and document as he goes So we can get a part count etc. I was not using it for cutting but he will. I need to make a tool holder for a dremel or small router.

That thing can really move! Seems like some huge improvements have been made. What kind of cutter are you going to use? Mini Laminate trimmer? sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid/page/2#post-634 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:48:18 +0000 sly 634@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ They hold but not of smooth as I would like. maybe then need a break in. I added some grease but that seemed to make no difference. I have used US made stuff that was smooth as silk. I don't know if it is the bearings or the ground rods. I used the case hardened rod that says it is for linear. but maybe the chrome plated stuff is smoother. they do seem to work better if there is a lot of load on them. I get a bit of ripple in the spiral demo(going as fast I could get EMC to go). And the rods still flex a bit too. I wanted to fasten them in the center. but even after grinding a big notch I could not drill the stuff, maybe spot welding a screw might work. The rod with pre-drilled holes seems to cost a whole lot more. but I think just one in the center would make a world of difference.

Keep up the good work! sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid#post-627 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:36:38 +0000 sly 627@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ It looks like my X is more like 13.something inch. I guess I forgot how to read a ruler ;) Or I might have been thinking of making a smaller cart. I added some wires and got EMC2 to go. Took a bit to figure out the limit/home switches. It kept getting stuck after the homing with the limit switch still on. All I had to do was say the home is not at 0 but -.1 the it will bring it to 0 after the home and off the switch. So far I only have X and Y switches. I have encoders on the steppers but have not wired them up. The motors I got at the junk shop and are not a good match for my stepper driver. The motors are low voltage hi-current. My circuit wants more voltage and less current. so I am running the motors at about 1.5A about 1/2 what they want. But they seem to be very strong. looks like my max speed is limited by how fast the EMC can go. I have it set for 1/16 steps so that is 3200 steps a turn. That is a lot of pulses out of the PP card. sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid#post-623 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 02:00:30 +0000 sly 623@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ the bolts that don't fall out <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5094955097/" title="TBOLT by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4124/5094955097_e1111aa92b.jpg" alt="TBOLT" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5094955199/" title="Z_cart_top by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5094955199_96f7c2277b_b.jpg" alt="Z_cart_top" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5094955223/" title="Z_cart_bot by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/5094955223_94cf200191_b.jpg" alt="Z_cart_bot" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5094955149/" title="mini-sled1 by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5094955149_928a9e8db8_b.jpg" alt="mini-sled1" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5094955131/" title="mini-sled by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/5094955131_40efff4dfb_b.jpg" alt="mini-sled" /></a> I got some sticker that looks like steel 7$ a roll different but it shows the bumps more. but will give it some contrast. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5095553866/" title="cnc20 by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/5095553866_8c130dd6c2_b.jpg" alt="cnc20" /></a> sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid#post-621 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 07:04:23 +0000 sly 621@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ looks my Z is 7.5 in. so sum it up Z= 7.5 in. Y= 30.5 in. X= 15.5 in. sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid#post-620 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 03:03:40 +0000 sly 620@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ Today I have been redoing the sled. So I can quickmount anything. also got some more Z. also redid the box for changes for the bearings. The spinning bolts made the belt walk up the bolt. so I changed it too. the rods I got at mcmaster 1000mm 12mm 6112k53 $28.94 and a shorter guys for the Z I do not have the number handy the sticker stuff is cheap like $5 a roll at the hardware store. it is just vinel easy to cut but not the strongest stuff. I was going to use Formica but it cost like $50 a sheet. it would be very nice. but the $5 stuff for now as I have been recutting a lot of stuff. As for the dovetailing I am super gluing + the dovetailing wood made out of sawdust glued together with cheap glue. So lets say if I were to break it that is not where it would break... also anywhere there is a nut not in a T slot I have been using the 63243-NZ TNUT the nuts with spikes that sink into the wood and stay. That helps a lot. price is hard to tell as I got a lot of stuff I am not going to use. but just the parts I will use I do not think will be much more then the first version. the vxb $9.95 Linear bearings blocks x 12 is most of the cost over the first version. some stuff goes away like the pricey 1/4 bearings from mcmaster and the square tube. I am drowning in 8mm bearings. might be able to save with a smaller number there..?

This is exactly the kind of modding we like to see folks take on. You have totally made my day by posting those! Very cool improvement to the belt clamps, I'd love to get the source file & make it available to others on the forum. Hopefully you & Bill can hook up and compare notes. Like I said, we'd love to fold ideas from the community into future plan revisions. Now a bunch of questions about your build: That dovetailing looks amazing, is it strong? Is that black laminate?? Where did you source those support shaft rails? What kind of tool do you plan on attaching? I'm curious if you have a running total of your costs so far? sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid#post-618 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 21:31:26 +0000 sly 618@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ sly on "A very modified bulid" http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/a-very-modified-bulid#post-617 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 21:29:44 +0000 sly 617@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ Some pics as I go not done yet. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079338315/" title="cnc19 by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5079338315_38fe92c716_b.jpg" alt="cnc19" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932270/" title="cnc18 by , on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/5079932270_014e5fd1a9_b.jpg" alt="cnc18" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079338287/" title="cnc17 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4064/5079338287_ca6e0a5608_b.jpg" alt="cnc17" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932236/" title="cnc15 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/5079932236_94e1453dc9_b.jpg" alt="cnc15" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932258/" title="cnc16 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5079932258_1d9bd1bc19_b.jpg" alt="cnc16" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932204/" title="cnc14 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/5079932204_d86875453f_b.jpg" alt="cnc14" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079338209/" title="cnc13 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/5079338209_4110811371_b.jpg" alt="cnc13" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932170/" title="cnc12 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/5079932170_44defc1dce_b.jpg" alt="cnc12" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932140/" title="cnc10 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5079932140_8a1417a3eb_b.jpg" alt="cnc10" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079338183/" title="cnc11 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5079338183_8580f3ecc1_b.jpg" alt="cnc11" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079338173/" title="cnc9 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4031/5079338173_abecc9d0b4_b.jpg" alt="cnc9" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932058/" title="cnc6 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5079932058_e42174691a_b.jpg" alt="cnc6" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079338137/" title="cnc7 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5079338137_f03ff87047_b.jpg" alt="cnc7" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079932052/" title="cnc5 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/5079932052_754ab8f111_b.jpg" alt="cnc5" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079338093/" title="cnc4 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/5079338093_7e9b05a1f4_b.jpg" alt="cnc4" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079931944/" title="cnc2 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4005/5079931944_62fd492c63_b.jpg" alt="cnc2" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12484995@N07/5079931912/" title="cnc1 by on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4034/5079931912_a803ddc307_b.jpg" alt="cnc1" /></a>
