Thanks, This video will be helpful when i get to mind, by the way i will be ordering the ball screws soon for the mill, and thanks for all your video's
Painter tape is the easiest way to make a template for me. Tick it to the back of what ever you want to mount mark the holes, then move it to the spot where you will mount what ever.
Can you make a RUclips video on how to add a momentary push button switch to the Acorn for Cycle Start and one for Feed Hold. Its like what ever I try in the PLC for inputs it just don't work. You have great video.
Also heat rises so don’t do as he did with the fan please. Put vent at top of the box or towards the top and fan towards bottom . Heat rises not lowers . The way he did it all the heat will stay trapped in the box and the cool air will go down hot up .
Great video! Can I ask with regards to your mill, is it necessary to have a power supply dedicated to each driver/motor or could you just use one and feed all 3 axis off that?
You can use one supply for all the motors. Make sure it has enough current supply and is the correct voltage. It is NOT the same supply for the Acorn control board.
@@matabele I agree 100%. You can use one big power supply for all of your drives. If you are going with switching power supplies, but sure they are slightly more powerful (more Watts) than you need. I've seen very strange things happen when switching power supplies are run at their limit. It can lead to intermittent problems that are hard to diagnose.
You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Dorian Marley I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great video , can you help to build my 4 axis cnc router 5'x10' with 3D rotary axis to send me bill of the materials of all equipment electrics box and electronics box , hardware , software ,cable .....;
Am I the only one watching and laughing at the fact that he recommends mounting the electronics first !!! Wrong always do wiring first! Do all your wire management routing all the wires to where they will be in general making everything all nice and organized . Then once you do that then mount and plug everything in. Have all your components avail so that you can mock / test fit things to make sure it will work . Also don’t listen to his advice on the fuse . As you can see he ended up using a circuit breaker in the end along with a small din rail instead of the terminals he originally used . The fuse holder he showed in the beginning would be typically used for a component such as the acorn board not everything on one. More like 6-8 plus the breaker. Also wire management is super important to reduce interference so don’t do this please!!! Also use proper shielded cable not what he used. Power !!!! Please please use proper cabling . The single Home Depot power cord is no where near the capacity needed . Possibly need 3-4 of those . Isolate your electronics from each other. If you have a drive your your spindle make sure it’s on a different circuit than everything else. Fuse all your devices that require power even if they are online fuses . I could go on for days but nice video to get someone started kind of but extremely wrong and in correct info . Lol imagine trying to pull all that current through a cheap .50 fuse holder . Your car has that same fuse for the single 12v stereo constant wire and another for the acc wire .
I'm open to people criticizing my videos in order to help others - but some of what you are saying is way off base. Let's just start with the power situation. Please explain (using math) why I would "Possibly need 3-4" of the power cables for a project like this? I think you are missing the mark on the fusion situation, as well. This machine did use a single fuse and the entire setup has been in regular use ever since it was built and there haven't been any electrical problems. Other than my milling machine , all of my other machines use a single fuse - with no problems. I don't have to "imagine trying to pull all that current through a cheap .05 fuse holder" because it happens on a weekly basis on several different machines and it works just fine.
Do the mounting first, then wire, basic practice in any professional control cabinet construction company. As long as you have a proper wiring diagram and did a cad drawing, this is a piece of cake. Granted, I use 4-5 digit software at work. But for something simple as this CNC. Even free software is enough. (like fusion 360 and an electrical sketch program) Do the wiring diagram first. Then do a 2D layout for the components (keep their height in mind, or just do 3D, which is more complex). Yes, I know most people who do this in a hobby environment aren't electrical engineers, but if you don't know how to make a wiring diagram and what components you have to use, you shouldn't touch electronics in the first place. I don't comment on the electronics, cuz idk what regulations you have in America, or know the components' specification. The only thing I will say, If I've ever designed or produced something like this, I'll get fired instantly. Source electrical engineer in Germany.
I thought my PC had taken acid or something but realised the trippy effect around 4 mins onward was some encoding error.

My fan pulls air out of the box. Cool air enters the bottom and is pulled upward.

@@frijoli9579 Thanks for the info bud!

@@FrancoCNC Thanks for the info, I thought it might save some space in the enclosure (and a few dollars) but might not be worth it in the long run.
What type of plastic did you use for your 3d printed parts? PLA? ABS? What brand and size enclosure are you using?
ABS
Enclosure: www.factorymation.com/EN-PCG-4050-B
Can you put the link to the enclosure you purchased? Looks to be about the perfect size for my project.
Hi. I believe it was this one: www.factorymation.com/EN-PCG-4050-B
Great video. To make a drilling temple, I just scan the items & print.
You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?

@Dorian Marley It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
@Chaim Ricardo You are welcome :)
Wondering where you got that enclosure. Can you post the link?
ruclips.net/video/fV6T3PGrIn0/видео.html
Where did you buy the enclosure and what model is it
Check this out: www.factorymation.com/EN-PCG-4050-B
Where are the motor drivers?

Do you have a parts list for this build? I want to rewire my OX C-Beam.
Working on that. Give me some time.
Yes, I'd like to know about that list as well.
Can you post a parts list with links please?
Will do. Give me some time and I'll get that up there.
