I at least got the ball screws, linear rails and motors mounted, and will hopefully be done drilling/tapping for a while. Time to move on to electronics and see what kind of trouble I can get into with that.
We just hit 1400 subs and I want to thank everyone for the support!

Awesome, that is a beautiful build! Can not wait to see it in action and all the creative things you will make.
Yes, been waiting for this one. Very nice build!
That x-axis is a thing of beauty.
By far the best printed cnc.
Great Brian ! Thanks for sharing !
Great job buddy 🦅
Very nice job you do 🤘🏽
Beautiful and simple machine great 👏👏👏
Nice video! Awesome machine！
Awesome job. I just got my X gantry mounted to the rollers. Should have a new video up soon.
@@ProjectsbyBrian I just finished up for the night. I have footage from today, but will be a few days before I can edit. Hope to upload a few videos on Christmas Day.
Nice quality print
Hi. Nice job, congrats! I would like to see a follow-up after, let's say, 300 hours of use!
Good job buddy very nice
Maybe after u finish it u can replace the plastic parts with aluminum
I did the same thing with those rails. I used m6 instead of m5 so I had to flip and drill on the other side.
Simple and beautiful ...
Are you have instagram or facebook site sir ?
Nice video! Dunno why I'm watching since I don't have room for one :P Gonna make a small rigid CNC for steel (no idea which model yet), and big floppy but easy to store one for plywood (prolly lowrider2), after I turn my MPCNC into a bioprinter & pick n place machine. Thanks for helping me get off my butt and get started!
What tolerances are you looking for that you consider the lowrider floppy? And what materials are you ‘bio printing’?
You could put resin or concrete in the tubes to increase rigidity
Nice! Enjoyed watching it. U make it look like its so easy to build a CNC, is it really as easy as it seems like?
How do u ensure perpendcularity between x and y and parallelity between the two y beams.
Are the beams having the required flatness for the lm rail?
Looking forward to its working
A feast for the eyes 😬
Nice 👍🏻
Great job dude! Impressed me a lot. Could you tell what is the x axis beam dimension, and the thickness?
Nice build. Those are not grease nipples even though they look like it. You should put the correct oil into them on occasion. I would just use pump a little heavy oil though them to clear any dust. Best of luck. Take them time to have a look at Linuxcnc. It can be very rewarding after the initial introduction. Best of luck.
What is the wall size from this tubes? By the way looks amazing!!!!!
Thinking of doing a 4'x'4' machine (work area)... wondering if ball screw is the way to go rather than rack and pinion?
What is used in holding the iron frames together, it's not in the affiliate link provided
Very nice to see this shown the way you show it Brian! I also liked how you created some of the parts using the old MPCNC. I'm following this path myself and working my way up as I go.
Can I ask what material you used for the 3d printed components and possibly any general settings for a clean print? I love the colour and sheen :-)
Thanks for posting this series Brian. How accurate were your holes really? I’m finding the corner frame holes particularly hard to get all lined up. I’m thinking of fudging the 6.5mm holes a little bigger.
I figured that. I ended up welding a few holes closed, putting the screws that fit, then remarking those holes with a transfer punch. Worked very well and worth the 3 or 4 seconds per hole to weld shut. Hopefully the Chinese parts arrive soon so the rest of the fun can start ;)
Looks great man. What do you think is your total investment? I'm planning a slightly modified 4'x4' build
Looking great so far! I'm looking to upgrade the Burly MPCNC at the makerspace I run since it is falling apart a bit. Would you recommend this project being this far in?
@@ProjectsbyBrian Thanks for the response! I feel like the PrintNC has the same price-to-performance ratio that the MPCNC boasts! Looking forward to your first chips!
What VFD cable did you go with from Ali? I've been struggling to find double shielded 16awg on there. Was looking at using belden 29500.
good
What kind of paint finish is that on the beams? Does it mess with the linear rails at all?
I'm building a similar all-aluminum structure.
Hey Great video, I reference yours and others continuously for my build, What was your reason for the position of the hardware on the gantry? You said you moved everything to the far right. Just curious of what you considered for this. Thanks for your time!!
Thanks! It wasn't a huge decision, it was just to ensure that the full length of travel for the X axis wouldn't interfere with the Y tubes. The main point I wanted to make was that it wasn't going to be mounted symmetrical on the X axis, but rather mounted towards the right side. There are some things in the build where you just have to kind of lay out the parts on the tube and see what looks right. I hope that explains it well enough haha.
5:27 the motor mount bolts would they be neater if the bolt head was facing the screws side rather than how have it? Or does it have to be as you have shown?
Hi Brian can You add link for printing parts? Pls
Could you weld the frame instead of screwing it together
These are awesome video's.!!!!!!! Did you print everything with ABS or PETG or PEG. Where did you get stepper files? last question what would you do different know if you started building from scratch again. Again thank you for your time effort and knowledge and may God Bless you in everything you do..
Thanks! Everything is printed with PLA. The entire design is open source and hoges (Three Design), the designer of the machine, has a very impressive Fusion360 model of the entire machine that can be modified and then STL files are exported from that to print. I don't have anything I would do different, other than some purchasing decisions that don't apply to someone building one now. Check out my video called "PrintNC My Thoughts" for more of my thoughts on the build.
@@ProjectsbyBrian Thanks Brian for your quick reply. I looked at your video "PrintNC My Thoughts" and it helped me out. Again Thank you and God Bless!!!
@@44mod good to hear!
One thing I can’t find documentation about is the tramming screws, do they screw into the spindle collar and pull or are the little parts threaded and it pushes against the spindle collar?
Could this setup can be made for a 4 x8 working area could anyone helpme to get the parts or part list for the machine thanks!???
Strong Solid body with steel profiles but what is the 3dprinted parts.Can you please mill them with aluminium or more strong material. Because steel and plastic together.I dont understand.
Grind the grease tip.... easy.
On your site, Where do you list the frame parts of your build? I couldn't see that or how you did it?
can be expanded to 1.44 x2.44 meters
So you go for a steel frame construction but use a printed roller bearing housing with a diameter of less than a cm? (If this is just a temporary solution and you are using this machine to then mill some at least aluminimum ones I will stfu, but otherwise) the heavy frame is pretty pointless.
Looks nice though. 👍
I subscrib in your channel👍👍👍🥰👍👍🇧🇷
Where did you end up sourcing your steel tubing from?
@@ProjectsbyBrian if you don't mind me asking what was the total cost of the tubing?
hello! where can i buy the printed parts?
Do you provide the 3D design of the blue parts?
They are actually in the large Fusion assembly file which is on the PrintNC wiki. I should have a link to the wiki in the description.
What's the overall height?
Can this machine process steel?
Some guys have done it, although I wouldn't build this machine with the sole purpose of cutting steel. You might have good results but it's on the upper end of what the machine is capable of, IMO.
is it still working perfectly?
@@mstrxxx0072 hah, I actually just got done downsizing it. Check out my Instagram for lots of updates.
If I were a better man I could focus on something other than how horrible and cliche all this music is.
