Dude! You have some seriously CAD/CAM skill to be able to design such a nicely-engineered machine with all those 3D printer parts. It's not terribly difficult to draw up plans for your own manual milling/drilling work to build such a machine up by hand out of plastic/aluminum, but it takes real talent to draw up complex shapes that all align with each other to house the steel rods and screws as well as allowing room for cables/etc. for all the 3D-printed pieces. Well done!
that tool head dust collection system is freaking genius!! I have never seen anything like it. Gives an amazing view of the tool bit when it's in operation
well it will only works on this tiny machine... the machine is just so slow that this dust collection works. If you do this open view on bigger machines tehre are chips flying in every direction.
@@GrandeCalle I think thats why it's a smart move. I've seen some of his other bigger designs and they have a different way of dust collection. Which probably means he thought about it (maybe).
You should totally sell this as a kit! I would *love* to build one of these, but I don't have the miter saw, taps, or other capabilities to machine the metal in the first place
@@jothain ...yes... but trying to get multiple parts exactly the same length and with dead square ends using hand tools doesn't sound like fun at all. Doable, I'm sure, but painful.
Moin, 3:41 You can press the bearings in wonderfully with a one-handed clamp. Wooden dowels can also be pressed in silently with a one-handed clamp if you have noise-sensitive neighbors. Thank you very much for your Video! 🤗
Did I just go through an entire episode without hearing you say “spacers”? The mini cnc machine looks and works really well. You member fail to inspire and amaze!
great to see you Ivan! another fantastic project that looks really well done. i've designed a few much more 'overbuilt' CNCs myself and every one of your machines amazes me with what it can do.
The press-fit metal bits that are too snug can be put in the freezer for a bit, they will shrink slightly - which is sometimes enough to get an easier fit.
I cant beleive that a home made cnc machine can look and perform so good. Your souch a clever person. Wish i could buy it as a kit ! what if you made another type shroud around the cutter instaed of an extraction you could swap it for one with some tubes inside to allow a coolant system for when doing metal parts to help keep the cutter from clogging up, as your a genius I hope you understand :)
Whaou je suis émerveillée par le potentiel de certaines personnes. Si je peux me servir des machines, je ne pourrais jamais en fabriquer une. Cela nécessite trop de compétences dans plusieurs domaines. Bravo !!!!
Great work! It cut the aluminum without any noticeable vibration. I figured there would be a lot of play in a 3D printed CNC machine, but this seemed to work like a champ.
It would be awesome to see some real world performace tests: what accuracy and movement speed the machine can achieve and what types of metal it can cut!
I'm no expert, but from how much the frame seemed to flex at 12:08, I can't imagine It'll get amazing precision or repeatability... still an impressive build though edit: wording
@@jarrettg7937 you can just print aluminium parts with this machine and replace the plastic ones with aluminium, also the improvement of the motor to a high performance one with a real cnc header, is avalible in this Formfaktor. I am somewhat curious to be honest, how much would it cost to get to the level i mentioned and how long it would take to step by step from: Buying a dirt cheap 3d machine + the goods you need to get to this shown in the video. Ive just watched this video and i am gonna test this as a side project + Alu is dirt cheap
@@1shivanox I think the lack of rigidity might be more from the quickly bolted together extrusions and lack of any similar vertical/crossbar reinforcement to prevent shearing, and not as much from the beefy corner brackets, but I'm just an armchair enthusiast here without any practical experience so all I can say is best of luck on your side project!
I made a CNC out of a defunct CR-10. And with ... what i'd call minimal mods to the frame (so not motor, cutter, etc), split into two major categories: necessary: double bottom rail mod, stiffener mod and double Z motor mod not necessary but makes things better: a stiffener placed on the bottom frame, diagonally on either two corners, enclosure, cable extensions so the brains don't suck up dust. Sidenote: the base needs to be modded in a specific way, that is you need to remove the springs and heater plate, and replace it with a piece of thick HDF (not MDF). The topping should be a 4 mm alu plate, that needs to be trued up to the cut. That said, this will never be a fast CNC, but for small, slow, detailed cuts, it's more than enough.
The time you put into these projects and how well they are filmed and edited makes you truly one of the best youtube channels. You deserve WAY more subscribers. I hope they are on their way!
Token comment for the algorithm- thanks for the CNC plans guy! I’ve been wanting a Onefinity CNC, but it’s a bit slightly out of my price range… this however: may be a different story… and if it can cut aluminum: that’s perfect because that’s all I need one for!
I know that you'd probably never need one for yourself, but if you designed a cnc hotwire foam cutter with mostly printed parts that could be built on a budget, I'd buy that in an instant. Great job on this one too!
At what point does through the bit cooling and spray lubrication come into play? Obviously that would entail the bed be metal and capable of drainage and recovery.
That's a decent surface for 1 pass. You should add a .1mm contour offset, copy and paste the procedure, remove the offset on the second and then run both. Yes it will take twice as long but you'll get a higher quality part.
your gearing work is the genius here, nicely done :) ive over powered mine so it could cut through ... well... teh planet really. and i still havent cut much with it :) just you wait!!! 😆
La verdad que es increible lo bien que te ha salido el proyecto!! El primero que veo aquí en TH-cam que le sale tan buena máquina.

Awesome build, surpised to see all 3d printed parts work for a metal cnc. Do you have a build video of the big cnc machine folding table you showed at the beginning. That is one nice table build, very useful for a garage shop. Thanks.
Como siempre increíble! Pero esa forma de meter los rodamientos me ha hecho llorar, ponles siempre una arandela que apoye en el exterior para atornillarlos 🥲
Hello Ivan, I would love to see a project for a cnc hot wire machine. With all your knowledge and experience, I think it would be a very interesting project.
If you elevate your metal block you're working on with some washers or something then it'll allow the machine to cut through and better and make grinding down less necessary
wow acabo de flipar eres una maquina bro, necesito una cnc de precision esculpir en muy pequeñito mucho detalle, no necesito una gran superficie, en acero duro, que me recomiendas?

Beautiful metal part! I really like the vacuum system. This looks like an ideal CNC for a budget workshop or student who does not have a ton of space.
Or a metal fabricator working out of a small garage. I will definitely want to try it.

You are the Matthias Wandel of 3D Printing. Your style is very unique and your inventions hit it every time. Love it! Cheers!
Hi, any ideia about how much it costs to build a machine like this?
It says in his website, 600€
Look on Amazon: with 300€ you will have a CNC+laser, without wasting your time in a project like that.
@@minopausa Yeah, but it's lot weaker and construction is worse. :)
I'm amazed with your 3D printed CNC parts design. that's absolutely top level engineering design!!!...
Great work! It cut the aluminum without any noticeable vibration. I figured there would be a lot of play in a 3D printed CNC machine, but this seemed to work like a champ.
I love that your tiny CNC machine is an medium size for most people.
It would be awesome to see some real world performace tests: what accuracy and movement speed the machine can achieve and what types of metal it can cut!
Probably +-.01", slow. 0-20ipm, aluminum.
I'm no expert, but from how much the frame seemed to flex at 12:08, I can't imagine It'll get amazing precision or repeatability... still an impressive build though
edit: wording
Even if no flex, not possible, those linear bearings cannot hold 0.1mm tolerance and will get worse overtime.

I have got to say, I’m impressed with the design! An attractive little machine!
I love that fold up table.. I'd like one like that but maybe a little thicker/sturdier!
If I keep making CNC machines "i have a problem", Ivan makes them it's great work ;)
can u share the belt width and pitch plz
Great build - and OMG I actually enjoyed the background music, and I can't say that very often when it comes to TH-cam videos. :D
I used to laugh at you hammering things with a screwdriver. Nice to see how your process has evolved.
you are a genius dude, I'm ashamed to call myself Mech Eng. when I see your hard work. Hope I become as good as you one day ♥.
Such elegant design. You thought of everything!
i like the dust collection. Nice fresh solution.
Probably your best design yet - so clean. I think this is the project I've never knew I needed.
Also, did the 600€ guideline include the cost of the router?
Hay Ivan ! Love what you do ! Keep going on the great work !
Thanks!

You should only press bearings on the outer race, never the inner race like that.

Great stuff Ivan I could play with the things you make all day long putting them together is my idea of relaxing
At what point does through the bit cooling and spray lubrication come into play? Obviously that would entail the bed be metal and capable of drainage and recovery.
how can I set a router like this up to work in the Solidworks 2.5 Dimensional router environment?
You need to build up an X/Z axis table then add the Y in the router.
Use good linear bearings otherwose you are going to have poor results
@@AutodidactEngineer Nono I have the router but how do I use it directly in solidworks?
That's a decent surface for 1 pass. You should add a .1mm contour offset, copy and paste the procedure, remove the offset on the second and then run both. Yes it will take twice as long but you'll get a higher quality part.

Muy bueno. Pero no tiene interruptores de fin de carrera?
Ivan, you are an inspiration
This machine is gonna be popular
that's a really clever idea to use the filament as a cable guide!
That's in fact not filament per se but 3mm nylon fish tape, the same used by electricians to pass wires through conduits.
Tanto trabajo por vídeo! Eres un máquina, tienes toda mi admiración.
Really like the vacuum concept!

It would be so cool if this machine could make parts for itself out of metal and eventually be completely made of metal :D
I suposse that you use trochoidal toolpath, It is reliavle for cutting steel ?
This design is so neat
It´s satisfying to see that you can build it with the tools that you have. :) Good Job!
