My 3D printed CNC cuts steel!! I made a couple of modifications to my 3D printed CNC and now I have a way more capable machine. The original design can cut wood quite fast and reliably but with aluminium I found its limits so I decided to make it a bit slower but way more capable of cutting metals. I swapped the Nema 17 for ones with a 1:19 planetary gear ratio and swapped the GT2 belts for HTD 5M belts and now it can push the bit agains the material really hard. I tried to cut aluminium at very high speeds with flawless results which gave me the courage to try and cut steel and surprise! It cuts 1.5 mm steel like butter!!

Store: "How much red filament would you like?"
Ivan: "Yes"
He has a deal with a supplier
@@Volt64bolt He should have one with us! :-) C'mon Ivan, let's talk!
easy formula for that.... where n = your supply... n + 1 = my request
LMAO. Right?
I’m doing mechanical engineering because of you Ivan thank you for the inspiration
Yessss!!!!
Good luck brother ✌🏼
@@ivanmirandawastaken i love what you and all the diy youtubers do. i am 14 and work from people like you, the hacksmith, the king of random, and many others have really inspired me. in fact i am currently working on building a 3d printer like the one you made but smaller and in a corexy format. i also love to watch your videos
@@ivanmirandawastaken Also ivan. watch out with the geared steppers. they tend to have a bit of backlash. a pulley system might work better.
We will need to find a brothel to occupy all of us at once. Cool! Brothers in steel.
This man deserves a lot more than 200k subscribers. You can see that he puts a lot of time into making his vids and he reads every comment. Love your work
I try my best, thanks!!
agreed
@@ivanmirandawastaken I've been watching, but apparently hadn't subbed. Ok, I've done it now. : )
@@ivanmirandawastaken Excellent channel you have here and im really impressed with your work !! Bravo !! I want to purchase your plans but just have a question. Can i scale this CNC up to work with a full sheet of plywood - ± 2.5m x 1.3m
well i guess he will get to this point pretty fast, since he grew so much last time, but i agree, he really deserves it
You’re starting to get into milling machine territory... you should probably read up on how the big machines do things; with an eye for ideas that can be applied to your machine.
Minimum Quantity Lubrication is the first thing that comes to mind; and as you’re going to be needing to run wet (well, damp) I’d also look into replacing the base board that the machine is mounted to with something waterproof (an aluminum tooling plate would be best; but a good-quality laminate countertop section would do). Onto that base you would mount the sacrificial backing boards.
T-slot extrusions and T-bolts are used commonly in woodworking setups for holding stuff to the table; and have a variety of clamps available off-the-shelf. Larger versions of this are commonly used on milling machines; but they would be to large to fit under your gantry rails.
Chatter and surface finish will improve with increased machine rigidity; and the thing that jumps out the most as a weak spot (other than the fact that it’s 3D printed; not cast iron, but there’s not much to be done about that) is the long unrestrained beam sections. I suggest cross-coupling them to form trusses.
The other thing that occurs to me is that you might look into what’s called “epoxy-granite”. Basically, it’s a mix of sand, fine crushed rock, and epoxy; and it sets up to resemble synthetic quartz countertops - reasonably strong, hard, doesn’t warp or crack like Portland cement based concrete does, and has good damping characteristics. You could fill the machine frame beams with it; as well as filling 3D printed parts or 3D printing molds to cast it in. Just do take appropriate precautions with the sand & epoxy - not getting it on your skin is kinda obvious; but you really don’t want to breathe silica sand dust because it gets in your lungs and obstructs oxygen absorption, and being basically inert, it stays there forever. Gloves and a respirator rated for sanding (such as is available at your local DIY center) will take care of both issues. Hardinge was using their version of this for their high-end tool room lathes frames a few years back...
🤔
And Kern uses Epoxy Granite/Polymer Concrete for their machine bases as well.
This is all cool thanks for commenting
Whenever I feel down being an engineer, I just visit your channel. I have now 3D printer, cnc and especially Red Filaments. The Red filament reminds me of you ❤️
*IDEA* Use first 3D printed version to slowly make aluminum parts to upgrade the CNC.
Or to make a robot that will construct the CNC - New Generation using Machine Learning.😎
I came home today feeling tired and rundown. My mood wasn't a good one. Then I hear "SPACERRrrrrrrrrs!" and I smiled. Thank you, Ivan.
MrWinterhater why was he in your house!?
Thank you soo much for the research and development that went into this project. You have opened another door for do it yourself type folks with limited resources. Looking forward to purchasing your files this week :)
Ivan, your videos are always an inspiration, and your taste in music is great 😀.
I'll be picking up the plans for your CNC shortly.
Your enthusiasm and positivity are inspirational!
Your first 3D printed CNC video inspired me to build my own, so really cool to see the evolution of this machine! Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks!
that has to be the best 3D printed CNC router I have ever seen. Any other one always had issues of wobble due to lack of rigidity with the belts
This is a great build and I am definitely going to look at using some of the parts to build a CNC machine. Keep up the good work.
These videos are an inspiration. I hope this channel and the maker continue on this great path.
I started on this rabbit hole looking for MPCNC, and ended up looking at this monster. Subscribed!!!
Oooer, congrats on passing 200k Subs! And what an amazing result on the CnC upgrade!
I too used to pull router bits out of their case by holding the cutting surfaces, until the day the bit jammed in the case. I don't do it any longer. BLOOD!
At least I'm not the only one to do that.
For me it was a 1/4" flush cut bit a few years ago. My right index finger wasn't happy at all about my decision...
Just last week. It happens more often than one would like to admit.
Somehow I managed to learn that lesson
2x
:-/
@@mpikas LOL
You know what I like about your channel? It surprises and impresses me again and again with what you're able to accomplish with 3D printing and off the shelf components and materials. I mean, from an outside perspective, it genuinely looks like your shop has been "self-upgrading" for a few years now. And heck, now that you can can cut steel plates - if you had the time and desire you could probably now build a tank that could withstand mid caliber gunfire. LOL
Amazing!! It's incredible the machines that it is possible to make by ourselves!! Thanks for showing us
AMAZING!!!! Great job Ivan! Love your work!
Great results Ivan , really like your sound tracks too!
Even if i look at your other videos,
you stand out in the 3D printer field.. I'm impressed.. I subscribed your channel
Well done, Cool update !
Amazing project Ivan!!!
I always get a smile while watching your videos because you almost always seem to bee in a good mood!
I really like your design, I made one back before 3d printers and now I'm thinking I might need to utilize my 3d printer to redesign my old cnc. That 3d printer your using must have a huge build plate! Great video!
A 19x faster result is awesome! It must feel incredible to see one of those parts get cut in under 2 minutes when they used to take over half an hour!
Ivan the magnificent!
What an amazing transformation of your CNC.
Simply beautiful !
This is crazy! You deserve so much more attention in the maker community!!
I saw CNCs that had the rack on which the pinion engaged directly (after the necessary reduction of course) avoiding belts but with much powerful motors.
However nice product Ivan! and nice upgrade!
I like his stuff. Always fun to watch! Keep on!
amazing cut with NEMA 17..
Great video and project build. Nice to see you get into CNC routing. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Ivan for president!!!! Love your video's your attitude and excitement.
Spacers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Ive been waiting to see the first DIY CNC that could cut steel. 👍
This one!
@@ivanmirandawastaken I want one! Do you have a breakdown of the cost? How much filament did it need?
Impressive result.
It's so amazing that the upgrade gave so much metal cutting capabilities! What was the steel's speeds and feeds? Looking forward to projects involving this awesome cutter!
seriously amazing Ivan! there are some awesome design features but i would not have imagined the machine would end up this capable. its really a serious, versatile machine to let you cut some steel. extremely impressive! great work!
what were the speeds and feeds for steel please btw?
Yes!! Thanks!!
200 mm/min 0.1 mm downspiral not sure abut RPM but slow around 10000
@@ivanmirandawastaken ok, awesome! its not fast but the result is really clean. 45 minutes for something nice that i could NEVER do otherwise is pretty good right? very nice man! my mind is blown. i've been designing my own budget cnc too but i don't think i can do better (/or anywhere near as good). i'll try first but then i'll buy your plans :-P thanks dude!
It is so amazing ! Great job ! 😃
You are doing an awesome job Ivan!!!! I love your channel!
As usual another fantastic Spacer video. May have to build myself one of those.
Well Done My Friend! Well Done!!!
your vids are amazing. you deserve way more than 200k subs, (well done on 200k subs btw)
Very cool Ivan!!
Keep inspiring us. Good work
So good I watched it twice.
Ivan, make sure to add all the CNC-videos to the CNC playlist (only 3 of them there right now).
dudeeeee this is awesome
Amazing, this is awesome
Great video! It’s always fun to see what you are going to create next.
Ivan, Nice design!! On your plans on your site, is that for this updated version? Can you include more details there about steppers, router, belts, etc? Also what are you using to control this?
Packed video with so much to learn.. awesome as always..
Thanks!
and he did his name like a boss. brilliant!
Que bonito ❤ Si le acoplas a la máquina CNC un MIG-100 e imprimes en acero eres mi héroe.
Man... Ive been following you its been a while, you are just awesome!
Great work! Inspiring
The result is pretty good
muy buena - very good as my friend Joaquim Garcia used to say. I can hardly beleive my eyes when it cuts steel !
Ivan, I think you should work this CNC mill hard and fast. When something breaks, fix it but then make that part from metal with the mill, replace the part and then work it hard again, and repeat.
Pretty soon you will have a very strong milling machine. Great project, great video. Thank you!
I hope when this is complete plans and parts list. This is fantastic.
Congratulations on such an excellent performing upgrade Ivan! Now I'm more tempted to try building from your CNC plans instead of going with a kit. =]
That’s great Ivan!
Great job !
A Litle tip when you work on a thin plate put some large plot of carpet tape under the sheet. It stick very well an avoid the sheet to vibrate and bunce on the martyr without this you take the risk that the plate lift up on Z axis.
1 theeth flute are good for premachining but not for final pass and clean finish use a dual dual flute for a clean surface.
Think about adding microlubricarion / /Mist-Coolant-Lubrication to cool.
I'm a simple man, I see Ivan upload, I click.
PNW SciTech I’m a simple person, I see trash comment , I reply in same format
Just amazing
Ivan, thank you very much for staying dedicated to your channel and creating amazing content. You truly are inspiring people to learn & do more than sit and watch videos in their free time. Today was a fortunate day and your video was suggested to me. Now I want to make my own CNC! Any plans to use your 3D printed one to make aluminum upgrade parts? Seems like the natural evolution of things, use better tools to make better parts for better tools :) You probably won't stop until you have a 6 axis CNC :)
Great job!! I'd like to try it soon! But I'm a noob... I'm learning a lot with you!
Oh man! I really start to get the itch again! Sold my laser a couple months ago and miss my CNC machines a lot! I do have 3D printers (2x Tevo Tornados) but I miss the speed of subtractive manufacturing! I really love cad and the silence and independence of 3dprinters
Hmmm, might be time to build one again!
Really interesting, Thanks !
Awesome to see this do steel. By the way, the reason why you can't move the carriage by hand anymore is because of the gears in the motors. The only allow you to spin it from the motor side.
If you get the plans updated with these upgrades I will buy a set for sure.
I love this guy
Muy buena maquina! Gran trabajo!!
Damn you Ivan, just 10 minutes ago i decided to buy a cnc cheap one just to test it. Now I have first complete my (large) 3d printer and then make a 3d printed cnc. :)
Muito bom máquina ficou muito linda parabéns 👏👏👏
Thank you
Love ur videos keep it up
You are good master !
Excellent I congratulate you from Caracas Venezuela
SUPER FAST BUILD MODE!
You deserve more
DAMN IVAN!
Love you're accent, took some getting use to but now I want it too👍
Yeah!
El acento español es indistinguible jaja
VERY Impressive. You really get the most out of the materials you use. I have a stash of HNBR GF reinforced HTD 5M belts and pulleys that set me back a few hundred dollars. I am seriously considering making one of these.
Good job BRO et voilà from Belgium
Nema17 motors on CNC this size? Whoo. That's Bold! ;)
So now you have it upgraded very well. Now you can multi operation fixtures to mill parts. ie convert the 3d printed parts into aluminum or steel parts.
Good idea👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
Love it, I’m making my own cnc machine although much smaller(broke college student budget) how much did it cost to build this? And will you make a video on the software used to control it and how you calibrate this and your 3D printers?
Awesome! Now add a laser diode head too
you need to ad an auto oiler for the steel and that will be amazing
Nice! Though, I think you must update with a good spindle, servos (better than steppers) and state of the art linear rails. Course you also need a proper coolant system with an optimal plate ready for vises, vacuum fixtures, etc.
you should try using blue painters' tape on both sides with superglue in between as a way to attach your steel plate
Nice going. So we now know how much plastic to throw at a problem to get something out of steel.
Great video/project as always!!!
How about sharing some details/specs of the motor/belts?
Thanks, and keep creating :)
So many tests!!! Seems all that repetitive action may have left you feeling a bit robotic!!!! Welcome to the bot side!! \m/ Some seriously clean results from the cuts though!! Amazing stuff! :)
Now it’s time fore the CNCed 3d printer
Hi Ivan, fantastic work, I love your channel! I have a question - how did you print the large parts without warping? I designed my own CNC a while back but could never get the parts to print flat...
Awesome results and awesome process as always!
You're eventually gonna build an actual steel tank, aren't you?
There's a clear pattern showing along the years and across your vids...😄
I think the next project is a 5 axis cnc like open5x ,im so excited...
