Fantastic upgrade. I have been just finished printing all the parts for the first version of your Dremel CNC and am waiting for some of the other parts to ship from China. Now, instead of purchasing a Dremel, I have just placed an order for the 500w spindle, and will have to print the Z-carriage for the aluminum spindle mount. Thank you for your great designs. You are inspiring.
Whenever I've been warned that you've posted a new video, I first look at its length (hoping that the longer the better ;), then I schedule the best time to watch it. It's a piece of entertainment and a great piece of achievement as well. We're on sunday and I appreciate your effort, your seriousness and your pretty good imagination. Thank you Nikodem. I'm sure that this spindle-based CNC will be much better on all aspects than your very good dremel solution. Can't wait the very first tests. Have a great week!
great project. if you going to do second part, consider to explain configuration of the arduino with the grbl software & create easy cad example (fusion 360) project and run on cnc . most of the UA-cam CNC show how to build the machine but don't show clear the step of software,configuration, CAD and run projecton the cnc . cheers from Australia nice to see younger generation with great skills
Glad you did a spindle version. I just finished doing my own which I converted from your Dremel CNC. Look forward to your spindle tests especially with Aluminum.
Dear Nikodem Bartnik, I have built your 3D Printed CNC and started milling some calibration objects like a 20x20mm square out of 3.5mm acrylic. The problem I came up was that the x and y dimensions work just fine and I was able to calibrate them just fine but the z axis slaggs down in the milling process so that when it tries to mill the tabs and cut the piece free from the material, on the side where it starts it cuts way to high (like 0.3mm) so that it leaves some material on that side then it continues with the next side a litle bit lower then with the next one a little bit lower and then at the final side it cuts how it should (cuts through the material and leaves the tabs). I have moved the x and y axis very close to the bottom plate to verify that my build is not the problem. So I am assuming that it is a software problem but I have no idea where to look. I am looking forward to hearing from you and I hope you can help me P.S. I can send you some images of the parts that i milled.
you can't really use steppers for thrust support. They'll work for whip, but they use a spring washer for lash control and that isn't the greatest for backlash. This would probably be fine for 3d printing loads, but not for CNC routing. i would redesign for a captured pillow block if i were you.
Easier, and better allowing more materials to be worked, would be to replace all of those linear rods with linear rails and blocks. More expensive but well worth it in the end.
With the spindle power supply, could you not replace the old school pot for speed control with a I2C digital pot and possibly an op amp to allow the Ardino/PC to control the spindle speed? Not sure if GRBL supports this, but would be a simple enough code modification to make it work.
Question: shoudent you be able somehow to controll if the dremell your drill anyway is spining so of you want to make an more complex operation you coud
I am using the same spindle. The noise is caused by the fan connected at the top of the motor shaft. While running at low speed, I shaved the fan like a wood lathe to balance it. It is now very silent.
Loving all the projects. I'd like to make a suggestion for your drill press. Make a block the same height as the base or your drill press so you can stabilize the work to ensure you drill a straight hole.
I have a lot of respect for you and built a device according to your data. It's just perfect. I'm missing the limit switch step, do you have a chance to explain this issue?
just in case someone has the same amount of braincells as me, the collet mentioned in the intro is not the outer part. Its basically a metal thing with cuts at one end that can be clamped together by the thing you put it inside (hence the videos where you see people using a wrench on that outer shit every time they switch endmills (bits). figured id save someone the time of googling here. ER11 collet is the shiny metal thing with "blades" / cuts, thing around it is the shit you twist and tighten. This has been your daily dose of Explain Like I'm You
I just want to point out a detail that was missed in this video that I had to go looking for - the holes to drill in the long pieces of extrusion (with the pillar drill and 3d printed guide) should be 6.5mm
Good job! That was vibration not loud spindle !! Spindle should not be loud on high speed- the collet just needs to be balanced professionally then it won’t vibrate when fast turned. Good luck.
i just want to point out that th3e CNC shield you have isn't compatible with GRBL 1.x it was designed for GRBL 0.9 and lower, and there were some major pin swaps between 0.9 and 1.x
building your cnc, but with a lot of mods as its built from the parts left from an old 3d printer, so 8mm rods, most of the sizes are different, lets see how its going to work out, hopefully by the end of the week, takes ages to print it all
My ender 3v2 printer prints everything to the size defined in software, usually i use hole sizes that match exactly the bearing size and they fit really tight. Printing 1mm smaller hole definitely would break the print. Anyway, nice project!
muchas gracias.. se podria hacer en ves de 300mm a 450mm de ancho?? de largo esta bien los 500 pero veo que se queda bastante chico los 300mm. gracias de antemano
Excellent video! Would love to hear from those who have built this CNC. What is the useable workarea size of this CNC, especially when used with the new 500W spindle?
Great videos... and thanks for sharing part list... btw its 12mm rod? if i upgrade X axis more length 14cm is 12mm rod can hold weigh of spindle? thanks
Hello, great job, I have made it, but I have problems when cutting acrylic, the cut material stays stuck to the cutter, could you please tell me what are the cutting parameters for acrylic with this spinlde thanks you
Hi I wonder how you selected the diameter of the polished rods, 12mm. The lead thread which one are you using. From your BOM I see its 8mm but is it T8.2 Is this not a bit slow. Normally used for z axis.
Hey i didn't understand exactly the software part what you did outside Actually i have the cnc machine but i cant use it with my apple MacBook can you please explain it simply how to make it work on my apple
Nikodem what about grounding? i saw on different sites that there is no warning and info that the potentiometer is also dangerous to use as much as whole power supply of the same reason- no ground.
Hola como va , arme una cnc dremel idéntica a tu modelo , tengo un problema la máquina hace el trabajo pero de forma al revés en reflejo , probé invirtiendo los motores , y nada, saludos
Do you need to redesign the stl files for use with Nema23 steppers ? They are 15mm x 15mm larger. Has anyone already done this ? I haven't ordered parts yet as I am trying to take suggestions from other posters to build the best version possible. Great setup Nikodem, thanks for the detailed build directions.
Sure, you just need to change the dimensions of aluminium profiles, rods and lead screws. Printed parts are the same no matter the size of the machine!
Hello, I have built Dremel CNC, it's a great machine. I have used it for mill some pcb and cut acrylic. It's wonderful. Now I want upgrade to 500W spindle. Could you share the stl file for power supply support ? I cannot find it in your thingiverse project. Thanks in advance.

I have the frame built, but have lead screw issues. I used links in the parts list, but Banggood sent me a mix of T8x2 (2mm on one rotation) and T8x8 (8mm on one rotation). In this video, it looks like the longer ones are T8x2 and the shorter ones are not. What are others using? I can’t find a definitive answer. I’m guessing everything should be T8x2 and Banggood sent me the wrong thing. In one package the screw they sent was t8x2 and the nut was t8x8, so I’m sure Banggood is at fault.
Fajne wideo. Szkoda że jak byłem w twoim wieku nie było takich części w sklepach. Z reszta nic nie było... FYI "bearing" (czyli łożysko) wymawia się "bering" a nie jak "beer-ing".
The arduino UNO you're holding in the video and the arduino UNO in your instructables looks different. What is that blue one you're holding in the video please? Link? Thank you :) Also why did you only plug in a power supply to the stepper motor shield and not the arduino UNO itself?
Can you update the parts list to show which screws need to be button head and which ones need to be socket cap. Or if anyone knows please let me know. Thank You
Amazing project idd!! I just can't happen to find the dimensions for the 3D printed parts anyone facing the same problem? I am planning to redraw the parts on Solidworks and change some of the dimensions but to do so I need to current ones at first.Anyone an Idea?
This would be nice! perhaps you can check the stl files in slicer or cura and measure one of the dimensions, then scale it to the correct size in solidworks and save a sldprt file?

Amazing Work man and thank you for the great effort to illustrate every step. I have one question, why did you put taps inside the aluminum profiles? I don't see any use for them

We can use dampers at the bottom of the machine both indymill and dremel to arrear the vibrations right??? It will arrest a lot of noice too
wow that is some top tier filming

You should have tried a different driver board this time around and different software to compare the two.
Great design, but why use aluminum extrusions for the base? Is there any reason not to screw it down to plywood or MDF?
what kind of leadscrews did you use 8x2 or 8x8 ones ?
One question: how to attach the 3d printed part to the aluminum spindle clamp? Was not shown in the video. Thank you.
please tell about power supply for cnc shield .how much voltage and amps.
great video. Is it possible to mount ER16 chuck holder insted ER11 with that spindle?
Do you think buying a stronger/better spindle andpaying to get metal 3d parts would make this able to do some aluminum? Just thinking.
i think design near good but use c-beam better & lock lead screw-coupling to motor
