I'm giving you a like and hat tip. This is the best attempt at a 3d printed lathe I am aware of. Nobody has slayed this dragon yet. I wondered how you were going to add stiffness and thought this might be why there was such a gap in videos. Those little 8mm rods had no chance. And, you didn't use a piece of all thread for the spindle which is what the typical 3d printer owner would do. A real steel shaft and a real chuck! There is much work to be done on this concept before I consider it beaten. But congrats on getting as far as you did, on going big and on not being too cheap. I am seriously impressed. You've moved the bar a lot higher. I do hope your channel catches fire and that you come back to fight this draggon again in a year or two. I regard the biggest problem with a 3D printed lathe isn't the 3D printing at all. It's comming up with a hollow spindle and chuck people can afford in order to see the project replicated all over the world. The other problems are not so complex. I do expect to see a plastic lathe at some point taking a .050" cut in steel at some point in the future. There are many challenges, one is ecconomics. But then doing it just to have done it is a worthwhile goal as well even if a project can't compete with an inexpensive manufactured lathe in cutting capacity. It's a high mountain and few will grab at the golden egg of accomplishment.
Great project but: 1. Music was extremely poorly chosen 2. Music level was too loud compared to voice level. Please learn to balance the two. Is really a pain to watch...
A P .. Sorry we will keep that in mind for the next video ;) ... but the sound is different for everyone. I have monitor headphones and it’s definitely different than a cellphone, earbuds, etc... We will work on that so it will be universal for everyone. Other than that i hope you enjoyed the project :)
Crafted .. Thank you so very much for this comment. There is definitely room for improvement ! I’m glad you understand the challenge of this project. Not everyone understands ;). Thank you for your support and hope you will like the futur projects on our channel. See you soon !
No, don't, as someone who knows a bit about lathes i can tell you that this is BAD. There's too much chatter i the metal. I would just recommend a cheap chinese import lathe :)
badass. tip for sound is to lower the music to -12db or -20db . Then make the voice have its RMS around that value. if you don't care about the numbers, just lower the music by 1/4 and watch the bouncy bars, then playback on the transition from music to vocals, when the vocals come in the VU meter should be bouncing around a similar / average level.
@@ernestgalvan9037 yea, but I think it' better to empower creativity. Simple tricks can go a long way. Some of these vid editors are so extensive it's like flying a spacecraft. Hence, when a few sentences can save months/years of trial&error, it's like absolute gold. That is why we share.
Planning on making my own version to be really cheap, using just threaded rods, some nuts, small bolts and 3d printed parts. My plan is to measure with a slide rule a lot instead of having accurate dials on the handwheels
looks good. I couldn't understand what you were saying the voices were too low compared to the music. What is the reason for the final part having that finish? the dremel? vibrations?
Hey, i'm very new but tried the control diagram and it doesn't work. Did you have any trouble getting your stepper motors to turn? My readout works, the speed adjustment works but power to the x-step or y step doesn't actuate or feedback. trying with a 17HS19-2004S1 motor.
i have trouble shot everything to the motor controllers not putting out signal. Does anyone know why the motor controllers would not be putting out signals?
An update on this would be nice. Is your 30W motor strong enough for easy turning of metals? If so, which ones? Do you plan on upgrading the motor? Are you planning on adding a hall effects sensor to calculate RPM so you can calculate feeds and speeds for optimal cutting? What is the slowest usable RPM you can use? I'm working on my own inspired design based on yours with many changes.
We have more projects on the way. We have a CNC video coming soon and an other secret project that we work on since last year ;). We hope revisit the project in the futur but not for now
Looks good ....can't wait to see future projects.... could not understand part of what you said the music was too loud and obnoxious would love to actually have been able to hear you. Keep at it and I hope to be able to try this 👍
Hey! really nice project ! could you please update the BOM at google drive (no value for capasitors) or tell me what capasitors are used in the project please ??
will say very cool project make the parts out o aircraft or military nylon with embedded carbon fiber flex within the nylon filament and you can make anything and limited movement and very strong need better nozzle end and be able to keep it at over 240 c to 300 c with printing area totally closed off and 90 to 100c with controlled ventilation with limited draft.
Using concrete would have made the lathe more sturdy, which is used also on steal designed lathe. Using the 3D printed parts as a container. Great idea though.
This is a awesome way to show what we can do with a 3D printer and some imagination, great work ! i am sure going to subscribe to your channel to see what's coming next , is it me , but i sens a little french Canadian accent from the young man ?
Is there any chance you could do another video, assembling the cross slide? It is a little mixed up with version 1 in Part 1 and version 2 in Part 2. If you could take it apart slowly and put it back together? Maybe rotate the pieces as you do? The fasteners on the cross slide, where you epoxy the v slot onto the rotating piece, what are those? Sorry for the questions, I know we're bridging the language barrier here. :-) Even a slideshow of photos would be cool!
Unfortunately for now we are loaded with the Prometheus MSLA project … i will probably update the lathe project with a v2 :) … you can take a look at the f360 file for the assembly
@@thecontrappostoshop oh i just wanna reinforce my own parts like that for other projects, I was wondering if epoxy works well :D do I have to look for a special kind of epoxy? or does any let me use it with metal. also you weren't wearing gloves ;O aren't those stuff dangerous?
Epoxy are good for pretty much everything… you can use good epoxy brand like gorilla and use the 24h one for best results… make sure to sand when its metal an clean surfaces. You have pretty much a glue for everything but you just need to find the good one for your needs. Im not using gloves because i’m careful:) . Its not that dangerous but its skin irritant.
Really nice project!!! I'll suggest you to add the like and subscribe button at the end of your video and a link to a previous video as well ;) just so people can look at your older videos in a couple of years
Yes for sure ! We will upload a video of our CNC router ( with 3D printed parts ) ... we are busy because we are working on a big big big project 🤩🤩 ... the video of the CNC will be live in about two weeks
What belts did you use and tooth number for the motor? What rod size did you use for the Chuck spindle? I am printing now to try this. Great project, look forward to updates if you get a chance.
The rod has 17mm in diameter. The belt is a 150XL037. One of our next video its a project made with this machine 😇. If you make one of these let us know and a video ! 👍
@@thecontrappostoshop thanks for the reply. How long is the belt? I will be sure to post some pics at a minimum, the electronics enclosure is printing now.
@@thecontrappostoshop sorry not what belt length, what rod length. 17mm x how long? Also the bearings you used, what size where they? Any more information you could add to the BOM would be awesome. Thanks for the inspiration.
Sorry for late response ... im not used to the youtube studio app. But the lenght of the belt goes with the number of teeth ( 150XL037 ). The shaft was about 200mm long.
Let me add my comments and C O N G R A D U L A T I O N S ! ! ! ! What an amazing project. Is there any chance you could share the Fusion 360 .f3d files? I tried the link above and It loaded a 3D viewer of the completed project, but clicking on the link to open in Fusion 360 produced an error that I can't decipher. Great work looking forward to next project
So it's a CNC lathe, but you're only jogging it? Why not automate it? And if not that, why add motors? Analog control is always more precise on a budget.
I was trying to make something different and using it more like a DRO ... i can use old caliper like most of the people on the internet but again .. i try something different ;)
I love the project. I will be building one. But please will you add more commentary on what you are doing. Balance the audio sources and if at all possible get rid of that annoying Casey Notalent music! At least put it at a lower background level and boost your voices. I'm lowering and raising your voices.
Sorry for not pleasing your musical taste. There are room for improvements because it our second video. You can click on the mute button if you want because all the informations is down in the description :)
He is saying that the music is fine, he is annoyed because he CANT hear your commentary being so low. I agree, LOWER the music & raise your voice. Great project 👍🏽
Super chattery on your ID finish. You’re not going to be able to do a part off or any taper turning with it. PLA has too much flex. The design is good. You’re just going to need to pattern cast the bed and head stock tail stock in cast iron. Then machine all surfaces, ways, etc. I’ve built several lathes. Always ends up being cheaper to buy one.
Are you only complaining in our videos comments :) ? Can’t you find somewhere else to complain ^^ thanks ! … i wish i had as much free time as you :o !
It is frightening you can literally see it flexing and bending - Just wait and let the parts get warmer than 40 degrees C that thing is going to be a health hazard. There is a reason why these things are built from metal, Aluminium is even better than plastic.
I wouldn't choose 3d printed part for lathe but I must admit you really did a great job. I'm impress by the result, great job!

Thanks ! We are very proud no matter what people say😇
what an awesome lathe. sure its not up to industrial standards but i think you did an outstanding job. maby i will do one for myself.
No, don't, as someone who knows a bit about lathes i can tell you that this is BAD. There's too much chatter i the metal. I would just recommend a cheap chinese import lathe :)

we are waitting more videos about machining metals , can i work with aluminium? GREAT WORK!!
hello great job, can you tell me the reference of the bearings v1 and v2 of the ELECTRONIC stl file. thank you very much for your work
Hi im not sure to understand what you want. You want the bearing size ?
That's really impressive what you managed to acheive. Very nice work

Very nice work!!! I was looking forward for this second part very much! Thank you!
Thanks for watching ! Stay tuned more videos and awesome projects to come :D !
Fun project but ordering a pcb is too much effort for me. Can it just use a standard reprap like motherboard with tmc stepper drivers?
I wish I had all the tools required to make this. All I have is 3d printer and a couple of screw drivers lmao
Great project btw
Where do i find the link for the electronic board
Would be good to know how much runout it has

Voice is way to quite...and music super loud 🙉
very nice video congratulations keep going the good work
Do you have a part number for the spindle belt you used and sprockets?
Nice Project but a 5kg piece of Metal rotating with 2000rpm only held by some Plastic parts makes me a little bit nervous :D
nothing has happened yet 😜
Looks good ....can't wait to see future projects.... could not understand part of what you said the music was too loud and obnoxious would love to actually have been able to hear you. Keep at it and I hope to be able to try this 👍
Hey! really nice project ! could you please update the BOM at google drive (no value for capasitors) or tell me what capasitors are used in the project please ??
I’m sorry ! The capacitor on the voltage regulator side is 0,47uf and the stepper driver side is 10uf :)
will say very cool project make the parts out o aircraft or military nylon with embedded carbon fiber flex within the nylon filament and you can make anything and limited movement and very strong need better nozzle end and be able to keep it at over 240 c to 300 c with printing area totally closed off and 90 to 100c with controlled ventilation with limited draft.
Try to make it cnc, remplace the DC motor with a stepper motor And use it as a servo with close loop drivers, check teaching tech video
We think about it but we have no use for this kind of setup. This is why the project is open source so everybody can tweak it !
Just ordered my PCBs from China. Almost have everything to start my build!
What are the capacitor values? I looked everywhere and couldn't find them. I think I found everything else.
The regulator are only there for the voltage regulator. No need for big one :) 10uf should do the tricks
Where i can find the Arduino code? And how i can control it?
We have a google drive link in the description.
Any updates to this project? I really want to make one, but not without a BOM
We will post a new video soon ! We have few projects in background that takes all of our free time.
truly amazed
Just awesome, well done mate!
What's the soldering iron you use?
It’s the TS100 :)
Using concrete would have made the lathe more sturdy, which is used also on steal designed lathe. Using the 3D printed parts as a container. Great idea though.
