JackOTool's machine shop

3D printing, CNC, Milling, Turning and general workshop activities:

This channel is all about experimenting, testing and making various machines, mechanisms, builds & restorations.

I have a background of 30 years+ in machining & manufacturing, watch & clock making so if you are new to all of this ... I suggest study this channel and other YT channels and take a practical course if possible to get hands on experience first.

So I have a lot of videos to upload. Currently uploading the development and operation of my custom 3D printer.

In 2019 to 2022 I designed and built a large CNC router (X 520mm,Y 600mm,Z 200mm) which is in reality more a like a CNC milling machine - now complete and currently testing.

This will produce high precision parts for my own projects.

Disclaimer: Please do not copy any of my machining practices - I have my own way of doing things which I do not recommend anyone follow without supervision.

    This is the CNC machine I built - This is a test run (actually first run of this machine) My middle names are Herry Rowley. The video is sped up, and I added some music. Is that clear enough? 🤔

    I have a small Proxxon MF70 mill. This is equipped by the manufacture with Delrin/nylon lead screw nuts on all axes. No backlash at all!

    Is there any vibrations or much backlash when screw driven? Looks solid!

  • @jackotool
    @jackotool Жыл бұрын

    Minimal backlash as all the lead screw nuts are spring loaded against the lead screw ... there is some vibration .. but this is more due to speeds and feeds I think

    Thanks for this .. Some adjustments needed in settings to make more smooth movement and get rid of the "vibration" sound. Also, I think I was printing at layer increments or 0.1mm or 0.15mm

    Ramps 1.4 with Arduino Mega 2560 inserted into it. The firmware on the Arduino is Marlin .. There are much more advanced boards, but this is the cheapest way.

    holy cow, 6 years ago. what's hilarious is that we did this entirely remotely, over skype, doing screen-share, and by ssh'ing in remotely to your laptop, from another country!
