Good work. Dust shoe works so much better being independent of Z and instead tuned for the sheet material height.

Some very nice ideas in the video hope you don't mind me borrowing them for a few years 😉😂🤣

Great Video!

Great channel and very clear. Are there any tips you could help me with if I want to have the stepper motors to the front and not on the rear on the 6060extension. Thanks.

There's perceptible movement of the whole construction doing the holes @7:55-8:05. As a rule of thumb to stop this you need to connect it to a lot heavier foundation, at least 2.5 times heavier than the machine, or to play safe - 5 times

Simply brillant

What kind of accuracy, repeatability and resolution are you getting with this machine? Also will it do a good job milling aluminum if going slow? Thanks

Lessons from this video. When buying things, buy the good ones in the first place, and don't spend money on upgrading.

I read many contrary accounts where people tell they downgraded because they never actually landed projects where the increased footprint was beneficial. Maybe not from 60 to 40, usually larger, but I think the principle still applies. Don’t spend the money until you know it’ll be put to use.

Can you envision an frame assembly method that would allow for vertical clamp/vertical table on one end (just 1"to 1-1/2" of travel past the vertical clamp/table) for cutting dovetails? Would need to allow the spindle to make that travel. Perhaps moving one endplate in 2-3 inches?

nice friend

Very nice. I'll just throw in my 2 cents because, why not. I was considering what overall difference it would make if the torsion box was also filled with epoxy-crete. Then the foundation was constructed of laminated plywood and mdf for stiffness and mass. Then a few support jackscrews through the foundation in preloaded contact with the underside of the table. Yeah, it's easy to get carried away. lol

I think the deflection of 0,04mm can not be improved on this machine. Box thing is a fantastic idea which i'm going to use.

First off I love the channel. I have an ender3 3d printer that I upgraded with the 3d fused linear rail kit, attaching them to the aluminium extrusion with t Nuts in the x axis and also the y axis . How do u feel about upgrading this 4030 machine to linear rails instead of the axi's traveling on rollers ? The ball bearing in the linear rails would be much more accurate and would in theory stop any play in the axi's . The only problem is you would have to either 3d print or cnc machine some type of adapter to take the place of the rollers, and that would attach the gantry to the linear rails. If this is something you could take on, I would more than happily purchase the cad files from you so that I can 3d print to fit and then cnc mill the adapters from aluminum. Thanks!!!!

This very question popped up when I saw the machine sides. I’d love to know why Sainsmart didn’t design it like this !! Seems like a no-brainer.

A bit of forethought by adding holes to the internal spacers would have let you use the torsion box as a vac bed :-) Well made video however!

Funnily enough, I did think about that but time and no easy access to lightweight/low density mdf killed it off pretty quick.

What are the dimensions of the footprint of this machine after the upgrade? I want to make a table before my router arrives. I understand that you have enclosure sizes in the video. I am interested in just the room needed on a table.

Hello I built your table with tortion box, inserted the 40 M6 threaded inserts. Having difficulty understanding how your spoilboard mounts. One .NC file shows 12 holes in a 3x4 arrangement. Does the spoilboard bolt to the threaded inserts in the table? Are there additional holes in the spoil board needed to allow clamps to pass thru to thread into the inserts in the table.

Well done building the tortion box. I have hopefully answered your questions in the other comment.

What are the footprint dimensions (LxWxH) with the expanded 6060 base + Y axis motors? So, how much space on a table does the full machine it need? I have one being sent and want to get enclosure parts on order now.

would have taken the opportunity to add a vacuum function to it but not bad.

I think they were m6 slide in types but its a guess

Looks like you drilled 40 8mm holes in the table for the threaded inserts. Then 8 additional holes (4 in the front and 4 in the rear). These are to bolt the table to the threads inside the 2080 extruded front and rear aluminum pieces. You then drilled 40 7.5mm holes in the spoil board. Same pattern at the table. Is this to allow access to fasten clamps thru the spoil board into the table? You then cut 12 more holes, 10mm in diameter in the 3 x 4 arrangement. What are these holes for? It also looks like you drilled 4 holes in the front and rear of the spoil board. Is this how you fasten the spoil board to the table. Did you use longer bolts to pass thru both spoil board and table to thread into the aluminum 2080?

@techydiy

2 жыл бұрын

Correct. The 40 holes in the spoilboard are for clamps and also to bolt the spoilboard to the table bed. I cut 12 pockets (not holes) to recess the mounting bolt heads below the surface of the spoilboard. I only used 6 bolts to mount the spoilboard to the table bed (6 bolts were good enough). The 4 holes in the front and back of the spoilboard are used to allow access to the bolts that hold the table bed to the aluminium frame. This is so that I can remove the table bed without unbolting the spoilboard. Did I use longer bolts at the front ? No. If you have any other questions please ask Good luck.

FWIW That's pretty much the path that I'm taking. Started with the 3018 pro (and the 3040 Y extension) straight to the PROVer 6060. I'm also going to try and use the left over 4030 pieces to "upgrade/convert" the 3018 pro and try and move away from the fixed gantry. Will probably end up being my dedicated laser machine, and use the 6060 for router work. Hopefully that goes ok. Haven't had the 6060 very long, just a few days so I'm still dialing it in.
