Hi - suggested improvement; add a dust costver to the main gear: main gear hole at 03:41, need to be slightly bigger; grey cap at 03:48 may have a wall that reach the below grey item. In this way, you will have a dust proof cylinder and the black gear will also be able to be greased inside; moving better and protected.

Absolutely incredible, i applaud your thoroughness and quality of the build. Your makers skill are off the chart

Incredibly clean design and build. I like this a lot.

Freaking amazing. This is what 3d printing is all about.

Can I just buy this from you. This looks amazing. And the colour choices are spot on. You're a serious talent.

Just found this video by accident. Holy hell, you are a very talented guy. This is awesome engineering.

First I will say, that's a great design. BUTTTTTT no one is talking about your incredible grasshopper skills!!! That's insane! I use Rhino daily and grasshopper ever so often at work at a yacht company, but you're on another level! Very impressed.

Amazing design. Very cool, thanks for showing the updated design.

His builds are amazingly good

Just found this channel. I’m very impressed. I’m looking forward to seeing your other videos.

A beautiful and efficient device definitely ! It deserves a better protection and dust collection system…

people like yourself will change the world!

This version 2 looks great, will give it a try but I have just competed and using version 1 with great results. Will wait till or if I get problems thx again. Plans now include hardware list this is just getting better will keep supporting you 😀

What a brilliant design!

Nice use of 3D printing. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Good lord this is some clean cad and design work

Great work, beautifully modelled 🔥🔥

i rarely comment , but you are genius and deserve like ! and subscribe ! your design and printing skills are amazing

Belíssimo projeto, greetings from Brazil!

That is dope! Great job

Отличная разработка, даже задумался о покупке модели.

Awesome design!

Klasse Fräserlift, gut gedruckt ist das eine sehr stabile Konstruktion, Habe mir gleich neue Version heruntergeladen. Werde Heute anfangen mit dem Drucken.

I love this kind of engineering

how anyone uses grasshopper like that is beyond me. incredible!

Great work! Enjoyed the video.

what a border on obsession. Nice work man!

amazing work as always!!!

First time seeing someone use GH like its solidworks. 👏

Amaizing work! Very cool video 🙂

Man, this is so great tool. I will definitely have a look at your shop. Thank you. Also i am also an everyday user of Rhino, but your grasshopper skills seemfar higher than mine. Would love to learn more grasshopper. But need the good teacher... Wish you the best.

This is really great, nice work! These are the types of things that I like 3D printing for. Printing figurines can be cool but this definitely takes the cake in my opinion. I've always wondered if it would be tough to make the height adjustment come out the side, attach a motor to it (or an old drill gun), and hook it up to a switch. That way you can have a button on the side of the router table that operates height adjustment. Thanks for sharing!

I've been wanting to get into 3d printing, but it seems most are in the hobby so they can mess around and print knickknacks rather than "useful" items. something like this might put me over the top.

Great build. Very useful.

Nice Work !

Incredible build. How much time does one of these projects take you start to finish. I'm sure there are many trial and errors, failed prints, etc. Great work!!

I had designed something like this when I first got a 3D printer and then I sat down and figured out the time to print (MY time) and cost of materials and realized it was cheaper to just buy an actual router lift and print some attachments for it like a better dust hood and templates. Aluminum is just so much more durable than plastic or plastic embedded with aluminum powder - aka the metal version of MDF. 3D printing has its place in the shop and while this is impressive from a 3D design standpoint it's ultimately just a silly waste when a much better product can be had for roughly the same money.

A friend is cool ! I made grease from a candle rubbed wax stearin effect 1000% better than oil and does not stick garbage! Good luck!

Wow! That 's grate man! But when the router gets hot, doesn’t it affect (deform, melt) the PLA? Anyway, incredible work!

@Str8UpRevving

That's what i'm curious about. PLA is pretty sensitive to warmer temps. So much so, that if you put something in your car during the summer it softens and deforms.

Smart and Clever

Amazing!

just ordered this router ... might head over to the local print shop and get a few rolls of filament to start printing LOOL

Good to know, even a pro make some parts twice :)

Super. Thanks.

Not only does selling digital downloads go against the very core of the maker community foundation, but 99% of the time a quick Internet search will turn up the same or similar designs that are available for free. I found CAD files for multiple versions of an electronic, motor driven router lift just like this, including two that were 6-8 years old. Hopefully the US can bring their laws into the 21rst century sooner than later

The green F-91 W 😍

great work

So so so so epic!

well done!

Very nice & great design changes. You should try a generous portion of dry lubricant such as graphite powder, your wet lube will be quite the mess fairly quickly and may cause unwanted binding or sticking. In the least it would be less gooey and smoother operation.

Super, I like it :)

Génial encore une évolution, et une bien belle évolution. A quand une production des grosses pièces des différentes kits en plastique ou aluminium ? Car pour sûr je serai client. Bonne continuation

Great project. Have you had much issue yet with too much sawdust and chip sticking to the lubrication? You did an awesome job.

You've inspired me to learn Grasshopper and I have to say -- your definitions are a mess >.< I strongly recommend implementing some grouping and 'good practices', it makes coming back to your code so much more pleasant. Anyways, GH is such a powerful tool, after a month of daily practice I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what's possible. I never considered it as a 3D printing design environment before I saw your videos - so THANK YOU for that!

How do you not have more subscribers? I honestly once thought I wanted to start a channel but looking at your work, the time and effort you put in. the amazing projects and editing. i just don't think I have something to offer. THEN to see you only have this many subscribers, is wild to me. You are doing amazing work my friend. keep it up I am a huge fan!!!

I wouldn't suggest pla, but that looks really cool!

Hey, this is a very nice video and I think it's a great design. Just a small hint for next time: maybe you should put some notes in the video explaining what kind of optimization you are doing, so the viewer can better understand what you are doing.

Man...U R Genius...I got 1.0...but 2.0 is for purchase 2.

Wow, this has to be one of the best examples of 3d printing i've seen. commercial quality. Do you have vid on the printer, and or the software?

I printed myself a big collet chuck for this. My dust collector is beneath the surface, also vents the router. I planned to use the original gear hight adjustment but just kept sliding it manually.

Next step, a digital version with encoders, display and a remote app for your mobile phone 😜 Great job!

impossible.. This level of grasshopper skills suppose to be forbiden for an ordinary human bean.

Good. Thanks

This is epic

Man! A few more ideas. 1. To make the block with gears more rigid, you need to make an analogue of the bearing, not with balls. Something like sliding, with lubrication. Make the shaft on which the small bearing is located longer. Add top and bottom on the cylinder. And in the case, in the upper and lower parts, also make holes. The shaft will be clamped between these holes. And will not "hang out" to the left and to the right. If it is possible to process the mating surfaces of the shaft and the hole by cutting (turning from a drill and several clamps will also work), or at least with sandpaper - the plastic will become very smooth (ps do not forget to leave an allowance for processing, 0.1 - 0.3 mm will be enough) . 2. If you need to firmly fix the router in the device, think about a metal collar, with a screw, for ventilation or plumbing pipes with a diameter of 90-150 mm. You need to make (preferably 2) a cylinder (or rather a pipe), with a diameter of 1-2 mm more than the router, with a cut along the entire height, then insert the router into it and put on the clamp. A metal clamp, when tightened, will be able to clamp not only such a small, but also a healthy milling cutter (with a power of 2-3 kW). As I said, it is better to make 2 such "clamps", top and bottom. How to combine the "clamp" with the lifting device .... you're an engineer!) 3. For the lifting device, it may be worth using a different thread profile (thrust, trapezoidal, ...)

Genius

Great work, I love the design!.. I know you say its a temporary solution but it looks pretty solid to me. Can you give an update on how this thing has been going after prolonged use?

WOW!!! that's genial!

round of applause

This is awesome! Have you noticed if the torque from the router breaks any of the pieces after extended use?

Holy shit that was awesome

This is really cool, and with the prices on router lifts being too high for entry level and general DIY work to justify it's a great addition. Just a quick question, this could be printed on a resin printer, but i guess the inserts on the cams would need to be printed in a flexible resin ? are there any other parts in the build that would need to be printed in a more flexible material ?

You have such GLORIOUS supports, are those modelled manually, or something your slicer software does for you? Great project, thanks for sharing! I already have a pretty good commercial router table, but this video made me think that maybe one isn’t enough… :-)

Plastic is well sufficient for router table. I made simple plate where I can just attach my Makita and it's been working without any issues at all. It's all about infill, perimeters and correct material. I made it from simple PLA as it's very rigid material.

Great !

Очень достойно. Завидую.

yoo very cool what cad package did you use to design this and get the parametric values chart?

This is pretty damn cool. And impressive. What is the purpose of the little yellow tongue in the dust chute? Also, you could probably sell that chute on etsy. Both a screw down version and one with strong magnets for cast iron tops.

Great stuff. That software you were using... I was so lost

Really good man! Aren't you having problems with heat of the router? My old mount for my cnc it just deformed drastically

Geat design. What about a simpler 3.0 version for Makita router ? I mean it already has rails on it. So no need fora buch of parts. Having a servo for up and down and another one for locking would be a plus...
