Thanks for these videos. I just purchased my MR-1 about and hour ago. Now I know what to expect!

Keep up the decent content, hope to see more, subbed!

Awesome build, awesome machine. But soon you will regret not having spend the money for the enclosure. Also, I would highly recommend to put some kind of cable protection around those loose cables going from the Z-axis to the controller.

Thanks for the tips! I finally had a chance to move the machine on Sunday, also relocate the control box to the front so the emergency stop is reachable and moved the monitor to the right side of the machine. Next video she’ll be neat and tidy. haven’t decided what I’m gonna do for the enclosure yet, I don’t like the idea of working through the doors, that said making parts chips and coolant go everywhere!

I live 10 minutes from their Conroe location, I am thinking about showing up with a "Will work for tools" sign and coming out of my semi retirement.

they could use the help! I don’t think they’ve shipped any of the pre-assembled machines yet. have you seen this thread yet? this guy went all out forum.langmuirsystems.com/t/extending-the-base-plate-and-adding-additional-anchor-points/27557/7

That usb isolator should be there for back emf spikes. Control should have diode/cap/res for the same. Even manually pushing an axis all SHOULD be protected. Static and environmental EM can't be as ignored. If it just goes one day, know it could be as simple as some wind turns the whole building in to a balloon stuck to a kids head. Nerd time over! Think I can talk the boss in to buying me one for work. Gonna be paying attention to ourtube for updates.

you are right, I think I’ll put in a request for them to send me a new one. Good luck with getting your machine!

Loved the video, and the few tips on setup. Coolant flow seemed a bit weak, was it maxed out?

It's turned down, if I open up mine its like a fire hose. I think he did that so its not spraying everywhere since he is running without an enclosure.

@Crivo152 @Mike Juzenas Mike is correct, at the very end of the video. I open the valve to 3/4 and blew the chips off the plate. mrMachinetx on the form has a video (kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJyT0a6DmMi2c9o.html) adding a Y, and connecting a garden hose if you'd like to see a visual, when I get some time, I'm going to add it to my machine and probably will do a video with a bunch of updates/mods.

What would say the repeatability and accuracy of it?

Man the two main points of contention for me are as follows. First the concrete seems like a future problem if ever needed to move the machine. And second, the Z axis has less than a foot of travel. That doesn't give any flexibility for tall parts or drilling projects. I am a machinist as a job and I cant imagine this is useful for much especially with the small spindle.

@worknplayusa

Жыл бұрын

You are 100% right with the concrete, they have a preassembled option when you purchase, they’re having issues with the concrete and switching to epoxy granite. I‘m new to machining, show my knowledge and experience limits me more than the Z travel. Lol I’m going to make some parts videos in the future and maybe you can chime in as a experienced machinist.

This thing starts at half of what a spindle on our cheapest VMC cost, just the spindle no motor no nothing. What do you expect my friend

To bad Langmuir don´t have a distributor here in europe.

Mine should be done in mid April I opted for “fully assembled” I’m not sure how fully they mean. I’m assuming I will have to install the legs or enclosure one of the two.

how do you get your flood coolant to be a drizzle? mine is more like a jet

@worknplayusa

The flooded coolant kit should have a cheap plastic valve, that’s what I used originally but it felt like It always needed adjusting. I added a brass 1/4” valve I purchased at Harbor freight or Home Depot, they sell them cheap for air hoses

Absolutely! For me, personally moving from 3-D printing cheap plastic to be able to make fully functional parts it's worth it, it's a lot of work learning the cam side, but I am enjoying it.
