Sorry to hear about your back. Hope you don't have any further trouble with it. Glad to see the second part! Thanks for making these videos.
Back is still messed up, gotta be careful lifting and bending. Thanks for watching!
Nice to see it finished!
Thanks!
Came out nice. Nothing I’ll ever tackle but interesting to see the process
Thanks!
Nice job! I have a Lowrider2 cnc from V1. I got rid of the discount reprap smart controller and replaced it with a touch screen, best upgrade I've done.
Nice, I am using Repitierhost on this one. Like it better than the LCD screen.
I really have enjoyed using my mpcnc the last few years. After upgrading to the primo version I felt that it was far better than the previous models, but I still have to tighten things regularly and print replacement parts after they inevitably break.
This one seems to be a little loose. Not sure if it is something I did, or if it is the design.
@@MakingStuff it starts to cause major problems if you don't have everything tightened properly with this machine. Mine is about the same size as yours as cuts wood really well. But as soon as I started with aluminum plate, the weaknesses really showed themselves. I know it's not apples to apples in terms of cost, but I ended up buying the queen bee pro 1500x1500 to replace my mpcnc. I am still making space for it so I haven't tested it yet, but I felt that I needed more reliability moving forward.
Great job!
Thanks!
Thanks 😁
Nice and square, that must have been satisfying! Not sure about the 0.2mm off on the one side, maybe a slightly thicker finish pass or snug up the belts on that side just a touch. Cool build, again, and thanks for sharing!
Thanks 👍
I thought you have already bulit a MPC a few years ago. Is my memory being wrong?
I really like the project, i would like to build one also. Thanks for you filming the process.
Sorry to hear you hurt your back. I hurt mine at 39 and it has been given me problems every sense.
Nice!! 👍👍👍
I like your approach! Useful data for anyone contemplating to build: Cost. Time. CNC controller g-code generation (did you use Fusion 360 fro CAM?) parts availability, etc. Thanks for sharing!
Parts list is in the decription. I used a RAMBO board that I bought from V1. I used Sketchup and Estlcam to make the test block in the video.
Have you considered going to a spindle (maybe 800 W?) instead of the router for reduced noise and more consistent speed? (The router always slows under load.) This might be good, especially for aluminum. I'm trying to decide for my own Primo.
As for the looseness, if you get it adjusted correctly, it should be just as tight as the previous version. However, over time, the plastic does "creep" causing it to need to be re-tightened. Maybe once or twice a year.
I spoke to the V1 guys at the recent RMRRF and they said it may be necessary to even re-print the core once in a while.
Final question: did you build the version that uses the 3/4" EMT or the version that uses the 1" steel tube? For my 24" x 24" work area, I think the larger OD is slightly better.
I'm working on making my MPCNC a plasma MPCNC. New table and shielded cables should do the trick.
You are definitely going to want to use shielded cables with a plasma cutter. Thanks for watching!
That is a grand project, makes me want to build one myself. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
It's an easy and fun project. You should try it.
Build looks great, also watched your big cnc router build, love you builds, what is the size of this mpcnc that you build
The max vut size is about 400mm x 400mm.
Nice work bro! Congratulations from Ukraine!
Thanks a lot!
I've wondered with these if you can eventually machine the 3D printed parts with something better like aluminum? Glad you're feeling better. Wondering if you can make some sort of mechanism to slide over and drop down to slide back in the bottom, for a more ergonomic and easily stowable system?
I have cut aluminum with them before and that's the goal for this machine.
@@MakingStuffI think the commenter meant : can you replace plastic parts of the machine with aluminum ones for improved precision and performance.
What file did you get for those drive chain brackets? Your videos helped a LOT with understanding this build. Thanks! 🖖
I have added a link to the drag chain mounts in the description. Thanks for watching!
@@MakingStuff Thank you.
Have you tried cutting some pieces with it mounted on the slide rails yet? I'm curious if that affects accuracy at all.
Not yet, but soon. Trying to make a video on it.
Thanks for sharing.
Been considering making one. Can you give a close approximation cost of the build of materials? And realtime build time to complete?
I have no idea how much it cost because I had some of the parts on hand already and the price of everything has gone up since I started. If you look on the MPCNC web site they say it's around $500. It took me about two 8 hour days to build this one.
@@MakingStuff thanks
If you want I do something for my CNC for the makita router cable...
That's a nice job what you have done there 👍🖖
And i have a Question... What are the Boards you are using what we can see at min + - 03:40 - 03:52 (What is the "Mainboard" and the "Red Board with the screen?)
PS: sorry if my English is not correct, i never learned it in school, i learn it by DIY.
I got it from the V1 engineering store.
Nice build! Will I cut aluminium?
The first one I built did. Having issues with this one but I'm certain I can make it work.
Really like this but no printer. Must be alternates for some of the larger connection parts. Wanted 1 for years.
Have motors and many parts including that square aluminum lengths with the 4 sides for connecting brackets etc.
VE Egineering sells the printed parts in a kit. You could also look into local maker spaces or local library to see if they have 3d printers for rent.
@@kortt Thanks but VE Egineering takes me nowhere ad here in the boonies of maine we got diddly. IS there a better link?
It's V1 Engineering, not VE. www.v1engineering.com/
@@MakingStuff hmm. I posted the link as well after realizing my typo, must have been deleted?
How many hours would you plan on this whole build? How about squaring the machine? Did you just follow the instructions on v1 for the whole project?
This is the second one I have built so I did it a little quicker. It probably took me two 8 hour days to get it working.
Does this only work with the Makita router? I have a bosch around the same size and power. Im wondering if it'll be compatible.
There are plenty of different mounts available for the MPCNC. I wouldcheck on Thingiverse.com and see if you can find a mount.
Do you have the link for those drag chain holders?
Link is in description.
could you please make a video on how to square the 3D-printed trucks and gantry? I 3D printed all the parts but I am having nightmares squaring the trucks also the assembly feels flimsy :(
How to square the machine is in the V1 documentation for the MPCNC. Mine is a little loose too. I haven't figured out what is causing it yet. The older design seemed to be more rigid.
what are the machine dimensions?
Looks like you need to 3D print a Sweepy (or buy one from Carbide 3D) 😉
Yeah, definately need some dust control. Thanks for watching!
*Promo sm* 🔥
Mpcnc is old, there are simpler and much better designs 👍
