Nice tutorial, I never realized just how slow these machines are. An hour is far longer than I ever imagined and apparently I need to spend more money.
My longmill has been running about three days a week for two years. Very easy to maintain and use. What a great tool.
my longmill broke 2 years ago and is just sitting there collecting dust, what a waste of money.
What went wrong with it? What attempts were made to fix it? How was their customer service?
So.....is the spindle kit officially compatible with MK2/slb?
It sounded like they were working on it but not currently.
Altmill is a top contender for my first CNC. Just trying to decide if I need a 4x8 or 4x4! Do you all have plans for a pro-sumer level 4x8 machine?
Looks like great machines,if only you had a 230V version....hope that might be in the future 🙂
Second that... There are ways though
I noticed that pwnCNC has a 220v spindle. I may be mistaken, but I believe I heard in a separate video that Sienci was sorcing spindles from them. You could skip the spindle kit and order your own separately. They had 1.5kw and 2.2kw options.
@@IronJmo Great info,thank you I will look into that 👍
Congrats guys. I am regretting buying a Shapeoko 5 Pro last year. This looks like a hell of a machine.
Cant wait for them get through the “production hell” they have with altmills so i could order one.. incredible machine and potential
Love your humor 🤣
Can this be used with the Genmitsu 3030-PROVer 😬? I really like Sienci Labs' stuff
Your voice is WAY to high to start with that ridiculous youtuber intro
Can any new owners comment on the quality of the table?
I'd like to know more about the table itself. Do you all have a video you can post that focuses on the table and its rigidity?
Brother when I was upload surfacing program it has been going one line and suddenly stopped and showing grbl 1.1h for help. I can't understand what happened.. Please send me feed back.. Thank you
the variables are not editable. am i doing something incorrect?
Great News
Amazing cnc for the price, love your work engineering and skills. Your openness and frequent communication is inspiring how to order one next year with 220v higher kw spindle. 😅😅
congrats! That's amazing!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Are you going to be sending tracking information?
beautiful
Brother my cnc gsender showing in console Longmill mk2 for help and then it's program going to stop I don't know what happened how can I fix this issue please help me 🙏
Could this be done on the new rotary? If so, would it make things easier or harder?
Nice hardcore lax hat!
Thanks! It's an oldie, but a goodie! 🥍 🙌
When you are surfacing, and it asks for the bit diameter (you used 22mm), are you measuring the surfacing bit where it cuts? For exanple, in the video you use a 1" surfacing bit, but the number you input is 22mm (not 1 inch). Where are you getting the 22 mm from?
The bit diameter you should set should be the exact diameter that you measure from the surfacing bit of where it cuts. The bit that I was using is a 22mm wide bit, it is not a 1" bit.
All that hard work to end up at 9:46 "we are not going to be making anything precise with this machine" has thrown the machines capability's down the toilet.
an attempt was made, to convey... something? lol.
Like this , gives me design ideas. I think the gaps in the circular arrays are because you pulled the original shape from the array. Perhaps you could first make a copy of the original shape the make the array from the copy and leave it in the array. Hope you are having a great vacation!
At the end of the day these videos have been great! I have a chunk of elm burl i have had for 3 years now, and from the moment i saw it i knew i wanted to make a guitar body from it. I have a shapeoko so i am going to need to tinker with the cad side, but these videos have been a GREAT help! Thank you!
Why not use a roughing End Mill first?
It is truly amazing how quiet that machine is!
*Fun stuff Ikenna!* Thanks for the shoutout. I keep saying I'm going to retire my Prover and get a real CNC 🤪 The Longmill has been at the top of my list for a long time now.
Double 9’s no less
I would like to know if it is possible to manufacture wahoo boards with a Altmill. I would like to purchase one just for that purpose. Wahoo is a game board that originated in Germany. Milton Bradley marketed a game here in the states called Aggravation that was exactly like wa-hoo. My grandfather use to make homemade boards out of 3/4" plywood x 24" square. I have been making my own version with a 4 player game on one side. And a 6 player on the opposite side.
After waiting months with bated breath, and joining the forum, I stumble upon an ALTMILL video while at lunch in another town. So, have you shipped any?
Is this the 1.5KW spindle that comes with the AltMill? Thanks!
Every machine is stringently tested by making a sheet of dominoes before being shipped out. 😅😅😂 Nice work!
As someone who helps run a makerspace, and needs to have a solution for multiple users to make stuff on our cnc router (without making them also buy or rent new software for themselves) the makerspace license for vcarve has been our best option. I was teaching folk how to use easel until their gcode output stopped playing nice with our mach3 / mach4 based (and basic features like vcarving, tool ramping and raster movements for pocketing were stuck behind the paywall). We briefly tried carbide3d, but right as we moved over, they went to v7 and made it impossible to use on our machines unless we brought a pro license. I just wish vcarve supported macs for the few members who have those, and that they didn't make the incredibly annoying changes that they did on 11.5/12 for how folk use a makerspace license. Its incredible how much better it is on the laser side. We got a 3 machine license with our co2 laser for lightburn, upgraded it to support our galvo, and spent $60 a year (if we want to) to get the latest update. No subs, no always online requirement, no license management or adding users to our org or email authentication. Lightburn was also demoing a CNC router capability at a reprap festival in the past year - maybe they'll show that off at LBX?
Amazing project. How many passes with the new roughing bit to cut it out? And how deep was each pass? Thanks!
Oh and where do you get your wood from? I'm an hour north of Toronto and don't mind driving a bit to get some.
A quick question, on gcsender i clic over the play symbol botton on the top bar, but the spindle does not turn on, so I broke a small bit, what is the difference between the fore mentioned botton and tha greeen execute command in gcsender? thanks for sharing!
Of the code you're running doesn't have the code to turn the spindle on, then you need to make sure the code is in there. Otherwise you can put it in manually or in the start/stop g-code settings
Is it possible to join the vectors and the different toolpaths of two projects together in a new file?
Im having a hard time tramming my longmill. My table is level, spoil board it level. I'm lost, please help
