Great work as usual, I just love that engraving makes it look totally professional I ordered a spring loaded engraving tool yesterday as I want to get into it as well ok cheers your old mate Bill
Hello mate. Would love to talk abit with you. I just got my cnc router and was trying to dial in feeds and speeds. I work with big cnc machines and it is way different with getting the settings correctly. Would you be kind to share some wisdom to me? Would love to learn how to achieve that kind of results. Those finishing surfaces look so awesome. Subscribed
The facing was done with a BAP 300 bit, 10mm shaft (Cut down because they come pretty long), APKT 1135 plain carbide insert with 0.4 radius. Somewhere around 18k RPM, 1000mm/min. Side finish is with a DLC coated 8mm 3 flute run pretty slow at full depth, around 20k RPM and 1000mm/m at 0.1 stepover :)
I’ll make a video at some point - It’s a fairly basic PrintNC really, the gantry rollers are similar to the one above but the screws are in the standard location. I have some pics of it on the PrintNC discord ✌️
Awesome surface finish. Speeds and feeds? What bits? How are you preparing your packaging foam ? Sorry for all the questions just really pleased to see this quality come from this machine and wanna dive in. Thanks!

The foam was mostly done by hand, couldn't get a good cut with the bits I had at the time - Next time I'll probably get a proper foam cutting bit.
8mm DLC coated three flute for the sides and a 10mm BAP with plain carbide insert for the top. The engraving bit is a diamond tipped spring loaded engraver.
Chatter is present. Lack of machine rigidity. My cast iron CNC bench mill with dove tails cuts 6061 aluminium very quiet like a butter. The deeper depth of cut the less chatter as all the flutes are continuously engaged with the material unlike when DOC is shallow.
Dig the fan on the spindle, genius!
Never seen it before, Genius indeed!
Да, крыльчатка прямо на ER гайке это круто).
WOW! That mirror finish!!! Congratulations
Thanks!
Your parts look amazing and the video is very well done. I hope to see more, maybe with more information on feed rate, cutters, and cut depths.
Just uploading a video that has info ✌️
Feeds speeds and end mills used would be great!! Really great end results on a DIY cnc. Looks like an xcarve?
It's a PrintNC, a diy mill CNC with some 3d printed parts
Very nice work. Machine program and tooling optimized for the job.
Never do work that good! The boss see’s that he’ll expect it that nice every time! Lol those are scary good
It's OK to be that good... if you ARE the boss!

Cheers Bill! You should have some fun with it, the finish they leave doesn’t quite come across on video.
Where did you order it from Bill? Adams bits?
@@RJB510 no off Ebay a store in England 34 pounds yeh so like $90 AU plus delivery not cheap cheers Bill
Could you please create a video tutorial about post-programming in Fusion and setting up your machine?
Subscribed! What is the oarnge pieces purpose? Can you link a PRINTncc build you focused on for your build? Seems like it's milling aluminum awesome
What are these parts? Maybe you can make a video and show the whole machine? cnc Greetings from Poland

Amazing work. Is there any chance of an overview of your machine?
Pretty sure it's this one:

Great looking parts well done!
Is the fan 3D printed, what board are you running on the print nc and what is that etching tool called
That Fan is great idea, do you print it yourself and if so are you willing to share the design?
You can find it on the PrintNC Wiki, I believe in the mods section under “collet fan” 😃
@@Beeeaned Thank you will go and have a look

The foam was mostly done by hand, couldn't get a good cut with the bits I had at the time - Next time I'll probably get a proper foam cutting bit.
For the foam, I found it is crucial to use conventional cutting instead of climb cutting, I use a single flute end mill for it, works like a charm!
@@Max-tj7bpYap, this is all it gets.
Very very nice! And I love that z axis plate ;D
Cheers! I ADHD'd out when I was making it and covered it with a mandala 😂
Holy shite your part look perfect 🤩
i need to finish my print nc and start making stuff.
What CAM program are you using? And what is red or orange disc on the spindle?
Just Fusion, nothing fancy!
The disc is a printed collet fan to help remove chips.
Good idea! At first I thought it was a flywheel
Do you use double-sided tape for workholding? Or some strong car paint masking tape and superglue with activator?
Just blue painters tape on the base and the part, adhesive is just mitre bond with the spray activator.
what end mills are you using for the finish to get that mirror finish? also what's that engraving bit?
8mm DLC coated three flute for the sides and a 10mm BAP with plain carbide insert for the top.
The engraving bit is a diamond tipped spring loaded engraver.
You have a video or info on your machine build...?
Not a full video just yet, there’s a few bits of it in the ball nut plate video. Will work on a complete one soon but it’s a pretty standard build!
Very well done!
Subbed
Cheers! Came across your build a while ago and I love the probe 😎
Great work! Where did u get the fan? Is it smthg self made?
It’s a collet fan designed by Logan from the PrintNC community. You can find it on the wiki - wiki.printnc.info/en/mods
@@Beeeaned thnx!
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Are you using superglue and painters tape?
Yep - Well, mitre adhesive. Makes things a bit easier with the viscosity and nearly instant setting.
Chatter is present. Lack of machine rigidity. My cast iron CNC bench mill with dove tails cuts 6061 aluminium very quiet like a butter. The deeper depth of cut the less chatter as all the flutes are continuously engaged with the material unlike when DOC is shallow.
Milling alumina without coolant? How?!))
круто!
"Zurawski" jesteś z Polski?
what is that orange fan?
Printed collet fan, slips over the nut to help clear chips.
machine is dialed in
You are not using a CNC printed😅
Yeah it is obvious
It's a PrintNC - An open source design whereby the assembly guides, motor mounts, BK/BF risers, roller plates etc are printed.
