- This is my 2.5" lathe chuck I 3D printed. In this video I will show you the process of putting the chuck on the lathe. If you have any questions or recommendations about the video leave your question in the comment section below.

I printed the same one in ABS solid. It's surprisingly robust. I did not have balls to actually mount it to a lathe. Great idea on the backplate. Well done!
Thank you!
put the machine on and plug it in 20 meters away from it xD
Very interesting. Nice video
Cool!
Good work and good debugging. Here's a different idea. Once you've printed the chuck, then it's time to make the back mounting. Assemble the chuck. Put a rod in the center of the chuck jaws and hold the other end of that rod in your lathe. Now when you spin the lathe, the chuck will spin perfectly and the back can be cut flat and threaded to match the spindle. Of course, this assumes you have SOME way to hold a rod in the lathe before the chuck is finished.
Thats a very interesting idea I think I could use another chuck to hold a rod (in the headstock) in and then have the 3d printed chuck connected to that chuck then I would have a tap (in the tailstock) to cut threads in it. Thank you!
do you have a link to the make the mod plate you made
I don't. I used tinkercad to make my own design. It's very easy to design. Just make sure you have the correct measurements for the lathe faceplate indent in the "mod plate".
Can you go at 2000rpm ?
Make the entire lathe.
Did you ever more thoroughly test this on your lathe? Ive got one printed up in PLA, Im curious if it can be safely used at the lowest RPM on my wood lathe (750 RPM).
So far it has been pretty safe. Just make sure all the plastic parts are screwed on to the faceplate correctly.
@@BunkerBuilder Whats the max RPM youve tested it at?
I have my lathe set at 1600rpm
The problem is not so much apparent solidity but the fact that the rotational forces and the vibrations caused by the machined part held by the chuck will eventually cause deformation of the PLA and delamination.
When a crack will appear (possibly internally and thus invisible) in the chuck PLA you risk catastrophic failure and desintegration of the chuck which will splinter at super high speed. Not to mention that the piece being machined will likely also be sent flying at high speed.
There is a reason metal working lathe are made of metal. Be extremely careful.
I would personally use the lathe only at low RPMs.
Otherwise, good job.
@@nekononiaow Just wanted to concur with this. Maybe a different filament would be better, like ABS or Nylon? PLA seems very risky given how brittle it is. I love the idea of being able to print machine parts like this. It needs to be safe though.
The whole reason I watched this video was to see a strength/grip test. Just sayin'
I have another video about that topic. th-cam.com/video/ggw8d1vt1C0/w-d-xo.html
Nice work but I would be careful with putting pla on a lathe. PLA parts would not be able to hand this kind of vibration and rotation.
Power transmission ?
?
Bunker Builder I just wanted to know if there is a power transmission between the chuck and the steel rod
@@guipop2614 If your wondering about the jaw grip strength I have another video about that topic.

i would be glad if you could make this for me and send it. can we talk in private?
Sorry I don't plan on selling :)
If you happen to have a 3D printer I left a link to the 3d printed lathe chuck in the description.
The grip on the jaws is pretty bad, might want to shave a bit off them with a spider.
kauf dir doch einfach so ein 3-Backen-Futter.....anstatt zu spielen
Für eine Drehbank ist das nichts, aber für ne Drechselbank funktioniert es ohne probleme. Warum was neues kaufen wenn man die möglichkeit hat es selber zu machen? Noch dazu ist das keine spielerei. 3D Druck ist extrem wichtig und nützlich heutzutage.
