Sneak Peeks of Future Projects / Random Stuff: www.instagram.com/savvas_papasavva

Had an idea to set the front proximity sensors nut into the Y axis FK12 end plate. Not sure it'll work well without a quick connector on the sensors cable, but it could increase the cutting capacity along that axis... a massive Ten MILLIMETERS. #Valchromat #Distance #CNC #DIYcnc #ProximitySensor #LimitSwitch

Ok here it is - looks good with the hidden Y axis ball-screws, but something sounds a bit off when the gantry moved to the front of the machine. I think the Y linear rails are not lined up properly, but I pushed those green cover things into their mounting holes and I can't get them out. Resorted to the hammer, and knocking the rail up a little. I'm sure it moved, and I think it might have helped remedy the problem a little. Hard to tell because I may have just convinced myself it worked, because I wanted to get leave the studio and go home. Is a hammer a type of placebo? I don't know. I'll look at it again on the weekend. Now I need to read up about the new duet firmware and figure out if I can bother re-write all the macros and system files... which I really can't, but will have too to get spindle enable working. #WillThisEverEnd #CNCpurgatory #Duet2 #DuetsInferno #Duet2Wifi #CNC #DIYcnc #DesktopCNC #CNCspotting #Valchromat #ChooseAnythingButCNC

Added some quick release ATX molex connectors between the stepper motors and their cables on the X and Z axis. Machine is moving around now. I've lost around 10mm on the cutting capacity along the Y axis with the new rails, but gained some along the X. Could have been more if I went a size up. May add some more to the Y axis steppers and then is back to firmware. #CNC #DIYcnc #DesktopCNC #CNCrouter #ATXmolex #Soldering #Wiring #Duet2 #Workshop

Detail from latest design and probably my favourite feature. A M5 grub screw secured into a notch using super glue gel. The grub screw lines up with a proximity sensor for the Y axis. #GrubScrew #SuperGlue #Valchromat #CNC #DIYcnc #DesktopCNC #Design #Red #Workshop #Tools

More progress. This is the X axis gantry plate where the z aluminium profiles get mounted too. Overall it's looking complete but I still need to replace some tee-nuts on the y axis linear rails which lost their threads, and then re-wire the electronics which I'll have to do on the weekend. I'm going to make sure I add quick connectors to the electrical peripheries on the gantry (any type recommendations welcome) so I can more easily dismantle the thing if and when I need to move it. #CNC #DIYcnc #Gantry #Valchromat #XaxisPlate #DesktopCNC #Design #Tools #Workshop #Making #Soon

Finally got started with the last and final changes to the CNC machine. It's going to look like a hench beast when it's done. I may have to go back to the gym just to ensure I can move it in future. Or maybe I won't move it again. I'm particularly pleased with machining the through holes for the X axis aluminium profiles. Had to make a jig to hold each piece in place, before peck drilling halfway before fliping the length and repeating. #SimplePleasure #ImadeAhole #WhoNeedsApillarDrill #CNC #Machine #Drilling #DIYcnc #BenchCNC #AluminiumProfile #LinearRails #BallScrews #DogBone #AreaClear #Pocket #ToolPath
