The original spindle header is made of a 3D printer and is weak and fragile. I measured the original size and redesigned it with autocad 2010. The new material was pvc and cost about $80. PVC is slightly heavier. To elaborate the PCB pattern, the spindle should not be shaken. So I built a new spindle header and replaced the motor shaft clamping tool rod (Model: C16-ER11-35L).
hi nice result on the pcb, how can you make the pcb board not moving around during the milling? and also how do you convert the board to a pcb g code? i used eagle cad to design my board. thank you
Hi, excellent work, I have the same 2418 and I'm struggling to get a quality finish. Do you use any levelling/probing software to get all the Z axis correct. I have looked at CNCPilot but it needs an upgrade to GRBL from 0.9j to 1. Thanks
I modified the Candle 1.1.7 software to easily measure the Z-Axis probing value and I also developed a program to apply the Z-Axis probing value to the code generated by the PCB G-Code.
Here's guy calibrating levels th-cam.com/video/j5KkG7rj-Sk/w-d-xo.htmlm I am sorry that it's in Russian, but I hope that video itself might still give some hints.
Hi. I have the same model but my spindle and Z axis bed are not so great as yours. Did you make an improvement of those parts? If yes, could you share the info? If no, could you share any data about the originar seller of your machine? Than you!!

yes, it would be nice to show us ur fine details, on this machine. Great job
Very impressed nicely done and thanks for sharing
People are like "that is so fast" which i guess are joking but to these that arent, it's called the power of jumpcuts.
Nice video clip, keep it up, thank you for sharing it :)

Очень хорошо сделано прям как на заводе
great job, you can post the software you use?

넓은세상 I would really appreciate more info on the leveling, have been struggling with this issue

Does the CNC 2418 come packaged with a laser cutter?
how did u milled PCB without polygon using pcb-gcode?
bcoz pcb-gcode generates gcode only for isolating the tracks from polygon
how did you make those vias that flat?
is the version of 500mv from aliexpress enough for pcb milling ?

What type of spindle header do you use?
Very good.
cool
spindle rpm? and feed rate?
sir i am using eagle software can you please tell me how to engrave all the copper area as you did ?
Spindle speed?
I have the same CNC, I've had better results putting 24 v to the spindle then the 12v the circuit gives you
Hi. Do you have email add where I can show you my design? Thanks :)
What did for VIA's?

VIA connect top route and bottom route through hole.

I used a UTP cable for VIAs.
