Another great video. I wish the PrintNC guys would move away from Discord, I think it makes finding information that has already been put out there far harder than it needs to be.
@@ProjectsbyBrian Haha, different strokes for different folks, I like the way the MPCNC crew does their information. It could be a little better in the wiki department, but I find it easier to browse over there.
Please, where to get the blocks and other parts in blue colour. I believe they are key to the success of the build and they are not in the affiliate link provided.
When I look at the Narrow Plate in the fusion drawing, I'm seeing a few more holes and none of them are showing a countersink which is needed for the button head bolts. Was there an updated dxf that you worked from or did I miss something on the fusion file?
Hi Brian, by chance would you have the z plate drawing or print? I'd like to cut aluminum z plate on my manual mill instead of using wood. I see the wood dims do not show several features.
Hey John. So, I do, however the intent with the drawings is that you would download the latest Fusion360 file from the wiki, put in your parameters for your build, and then it will auto generate the Z plate that you need. If you happened to have a different build than me, the Z plate might be different. Once you put in your parameters and the drawing updates, you can then export the Z plate from the Fusion360 file in whatever format you need. I hope that helps!
@@ProjectsbyBrian I only have the free version of fusion. Doesn't allow for dxf exports. I have all the holes marked. I'll just manually write the few dims I need down and move one. Thanks buddy!
@@ProjectsbyBrian This is suggested regularly when people look at the design, I actually tested both dual bocks and single block during testing and design and determined there was no measurable performance benefit. I think most peoples experience is using SBR round rails or smaller MGN square rails which are significantly less rigid than the HGR20 used on the PrintNC
@@threedesign8999 My experience is based on designing custom machine tools for a living. Two bearings per rail offers a significant increase in rigidity. We also use preloaded bearings for additional rigidity. In general, mass, rigidity and using 'dead' materials like grey iron are your friends for making good cutting equipment. Obviously, one can't make a perfect machine due to cost or other constraints.
They do, but they function perfectly well enough to get the machine cutting its own aluminum replacements. There are mounts that space an HM-57 motor/bearing assembly which is cast, so you don't have to worry, options are there.
Can't wait to see more videos from you. I think this is the most details about build PrintNC on RUclips. Thank you

Great video! Tip: install the carriages to the x rails before bolting on the z plate. It’s much easier to mount this way.
The sound of the screwdriver is nuts 😂
thank you for sharing it's really beautiful design

why bf10 is no more used? reasons ?

hi what is the real working height in the z-axis? Thank you
Hi, excellent videos, how can I get plastic blue pieces Do you have a file to print a 3D printer, or where I can buy it, thank you

Are these the only aluminum parts or will there be more? Also, did you mill all the aluminum parts on your MPCNC?

Interesting build so far! What sort of price point would a PrintNC come in around?
@@ProjectsbyBrian Thanks, that's actually a lot better than I thought for something of this size. I assume this a is steel-ready machine?

hola amigo excelentes tus videos, pregunta como puedo obtener los planos en fusión 360 de este nuevo eje Z?
I need this ! :D
hahaha , what 3d fulfilment is used to make these parts i got me a 3d printer comeing
Adding another set of bearings would make that axis significantly stiffer. A single set of bearings is not very stiff at all.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. Each linear rail should have two bearings spread as far apart as possible.

its a beautiful cnc the plastic parts flex way to much when moving the gantry the motor mounts are the worst
