@@alastairduncan4702 it was a investment I should have made sooner, but they were expensive and difficult to set up a few years back, I got the tronxy xy-2 for only 150 euro now, and its a breeze to assemble and set up. Printed some Lindsay style sharpening templates the day I got it in the mail. I’m sure even my 5 year old nephew could get it going... if I had a 5 year old nephew! Anyway, if your looking into getting one I can recommend the one I got!
Я не могу понять. сердечник электромагнита бьет в держатель режущего инструмента или просто вибрирует внутри, бьет в корпус, а по корпусу импульс передается на режущий инструмент?
Fantastic piece. I was watching through all the different videos, and I did not see the specific PN you are using for the solenoid. Do you think that you might be able to post that as well? Thanks again for sharing. I also wonder if you were to use H-bridge control if you could set it up so that you could apply a load on the return. This would help to limit the aft stroke and not have to adjust the physical handle. Just a thought.
Thanks for the comments. All of the components are listed in the prototype video description. I think I should add them to the reader on GitHub as well. The solenoid is the XRN-13/30TL. The handle adjustment is only for low power where there isn't enough power to get a full length stroke, I think mainly due to having to overcome the spring. My knowledge of electronics does not stretch to h-bridges I'll take a look, the objective is to keep it as simple as possible 😉
What is the connector type that the blade is mounted to? I've seen some in my country but they don't seem to have a notch for a protrusion at the end of the handle body like in the blend files.
Great looking design! How does the end of the solenoid hold up? It looks small diameter for the part that strikes. Any chance you could sell me a completed handpiece? The white printed sure looks nice.
The end of the solenoid is quite small but so far it has held up well. Having said that I'm not a full time engraver, I'm not even a part time engraver ;-). I'm sorry I don't make for anyone or sell anything.
@@alastairduncan4702 Thank you Mr. Duncan for your quick answer. Also thank you for all of the information you are sharing about your graver build, it sure looks interesting to me and seems to work great. Ray
Great job laying out this project!! I have almost all the parts in my shopping cart. I do have 1 question. What size mini pin are you using 5.9mm or 6.3mm? I’ve been wanting to add this skill to my creations. I really appreciate your art, and giving so many like me the opportunity and information to learn this art.
There are 3d drawings on GitHub for Blender and fusion 360. Anyone with a 3d printer can print one. Read the documentation on git hub about thread tolerances.
Hello...I've completed your built however am having problems with the handpiece. I have sent you a personal message on Instagram...hope I can bother you to help me out...would truly appreciate it. Thank you.
I am a little confused. What QC size are you using? I can't see any reference to it anywhere. The link to HSS blanks is 3/32 - Square (2.38mm), but GRS only do round QC holders for 2.38mm
I don't use GRS QC I turned up the QC collets that I use. The GRS QC holders come in various sizes: www.hswalsh.com/product/grs-qc-tool-holders-345mm-single-004-803 www.hswalsh.com/product/grs-qc-tool-holders-332-238mm-10-pack-004-855 www.hswalsh.com/product/grs-qc-tool-holders-18-3175mm-10-pack-004-875 www.hswalsh.com/product/grs-qc-tool-holder-180mm-pack-10-004-872 www.hswalsh.com/product/grs-qc-tool-holders-extra-long-345mm-3-pack-004-857 So it depends on what tool blanks you have or want to use. They should all fit into the handle as the external diameter is 1/4" (6.35mm) you just pick the QC holder that suits the tool blanks that you want to use. I personally use 2.38mm(HSS), 3mm(Silver steel) and 2mm(Carbide) and have hand tools that I've adapted by attaching them to 3mm blanks so that they will fit into the QC holders that I've made.
Great addition to your project Alastair! Printing a handpiece is so much easier. Especially since I got a 3D printer a few weeks back.
Thank you. I'm envious 😉 as I haven't got one yet.

Great project ,thanks for sharing its progress , much appreciated 👍
Congrats! Thank you, I watched your previous videos and made a wood version.

@@alastairduncan4702 Good video but you are using solenoid. will this also work with compressor?
@@giwangpvcartslamp1349 No it does not work with a compressor.

You can use the GRS QC tool holder, they all have the notch.

Thank you. I have no idea what you mean by mini pin. The metal tool holder is 6.35mm or 1/4" is that what you mean?
@@alastairduncan4702 yes that’s what I was talking about. I’m trying to find a place to get them and wasn’t sure of the size.
The standard GRS QC holders will fit. I have made my own and they take a 2.4mm, 3/32" piece of HSS. I have got some carbide but I've not tried it yet.
Eu amigo aonde consigo comprar esse solenoide??
You need to read the documentation on GitHub. There is a link in the video description.
@@alastairduncan4702 thanks my friend
Hey r u still making them
I don't make them. The documentation for the controller and 3d models are on GitHub. You should find the link in the description for this video.
How can I buy this item
There are 3d drawings on GitHub for Blender and fusion 360. Anyone with a 3d printer can print one. Read the documentation on git hub about thread tolerances.
Hello, can I write a personal message?
I don't think you can do that via TH-cam but you can via Instagram @alastairduncan4
We need water cooling
I think that water-cooling would over complicate the handpiece and make it more cumbersome to use.
