Thanks for having the 3d printing explained as well. Always knew it was an option, but never used it in fear of coming loose. That peice seems well fitted for it.
We also used 3D printed extension arms for the ZA6/1500MX demo at IMTS this year. It ran hundreds of parts without issue. We'll have a series of videos covering all the aspects of that demo in a few weeks, so keep an eye out, and if you haven't subscribed that would give you the notification.
@@tormachinc For the 3d printed soft jaws, three questions: 1) You mentioned printing "a bit oversize". Did you do this in the slicer or in the CAD (Fusion?) model? Did you do this with a small uniform scaling, and if so, what amount? 2) Did you set your WCS off of the jaws, or did you need to probe each part? (3) Are the jaws bolted into the vice or just roughly placed?
@@darranedmundson1505 1. I scaled the model in Fusion by 4%. It was fairly tight, 5 or 6% would have been better. 2. I set X and Y off of the part, Z off the top of the jaw. I didn't probe each part though, just the first one. 3. Bolted in. -Norman

Awesome! Really thinking about a 1500mx for my next machine!

9:09 What feed rate should we use if we don't have a Norman and therefore lack infinite power?
Well if you don't have a Norman then you will have to make do with an Infinity Gauntlet. Sorry.
3+1 machining in F360?
We need steeeeeeeeel show us steeeeeeeeeeeel.... Please 😁😁😁😁
We're actually shooting a video with a steel part next week! Keep an eye out in a couple weeks.
