Neat Case and LR3 build! Thanks for sharing details, great timing am wanting to cut acrylic for my case too. You got me curious about trying out EstlCam's Trochoidal features, looks like that's what you used? Curious what profile/settings you use for non trochoidal cuts with 3mm bit. 0:18 Drill, 3mm bit, 4.2mm DOC, 150mm/min, low RPM 0:52 Trochoidal Cut/Contour, 3mm 1 flute bit, 4.2mm DOC, 1500mm/min Cheers!
I might add that I set trochoidal step length to 20%. I guess it could even be more, but didn't try that. I did not make any non-trochoidal cuts. Those that look like it only do so because it is sped up by 400%. :D
This is a LowRider, the other MPCNC from the older videos is a Primo. I wanted to have more cutting space and my Primo was a little too big anyway for the gantry to be absolutely stiff.
@@HaWiWe That's kind of the question. I'm planning to build one and dunno which one to make. What's you experience and maybe recommendation? Thank you. :)
@@djVania08 Hey Ivan, I haven't used the LowRider much yet, but I built it because I am pretty sure it is better for what I want (large sizes like the Cajon etc.). I also wanted to be able to access it from the front a little more easily. Plus, I can always put it on a larger table very quickly. The Primo is kind of fixed once you've built it. For a smaller size, like 40x40cm the Primo is a very good solution though, it is a great machine that is capable of quite a lot (like milling aluminium like in the Boom Arm video). So it is basically up to you what you want to use it for and how much space you have. :) I'd build the LR though if I had to make the decision now.
@@HaWiWe Thank you very much for the answer! :) I'm gonna be using that just for wood. Do you think that the PRIMO (given its structure) is more accurate or the accuracy should be the same on both models? :)
@@djVania08 If you check the forums and the products people are making you are going to see that they are equally accurate if configured right. So it's really up to what you like and want. :)
Looking great!
