LongMill CNC Enclosure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 гру 2019
- After assembling my Longmill CNC machine I needed to build a enclosure to contain the dust and noise so I could run it in my basement workshop.
This video is a quick run through of the process.
Leave any questions on any of the details in the comments.

Nice. Would love to hear the machine running with it open and closed.
I was trying to buy a CNC x-carving but I can see that the long-mill machine is way better.
Such a simple but well thought out enclosure design Dave. Well done!
This looks very flammable.
Very cool thank you for sharing your awesome project with us today, from Henrico County Virginia
Great Build Dave
Great video, good builder
Nice job i think i will do one exactly as your thanks for sharing your plans.
Great job 👍
Perfect design
VERY cool!!
Impressive! Now i need one as well :D
Love it but no vacuum hole, that would make it really messy. Great work though!! I think ill use your side wall designs to stop the dust from going to the left , right and back .
Wow! This is really impressive. Thanks for posting. I am just starting on my Long Mill table. Are you thinking about incorporating a dust collection system into the hood? Thanks.
Thanks :)
I want to add some kind of dust collection but not sure what kind. Don't think I'll add a hose at the cutting head but want to add some kind of ventilation to pull in the fine dust.
Can you possibly share a wiring diagram for what you have installed? No access to a 3d printer but could make all of this using other methods, just don't know how you wired it all up. any help would be great, thank you.
Do u have a wire diagram . I’m have trouble wiring the cnc
where the dust collection unit ?
Nice design. I'm wondering if you've ran into any problems reaching the back of the machine to clean the rails
Not yet :). But if I need to access the back for some reason I can remove the rear top panel.
great build! if you cut larger pieces, and use "tiling" on your LongMill, do you just plan to simply remove the enclosure since you don't have a rear door for the material to pass through?
Thanks, Don't really plan to work on anything that big. But if I needed to I could lift the top or just remove the back panel.
If this was a common issue I would cut the back in 1/2 horizontally and put it on a hinge so I could just fold the bottom up for a pass though.
very nice! Where did you get the hinges? thanks
Thanks, I 3D printed them :)
I am planning on getting the 30"x30" Longmill as well. That cover looks awesome! How much diffent was the noise cancelation? Your simple design was masterfully done. I did not look yet but do you have plans for your complete build? Looks like you integrated an automatic vac as well?
It's pretty quiet. I notice most of the sound comes from vibrations from the cutting surface so if I insolate the bottom it should cut down even more.
I don't have any other plans other than what I show at the start of the video.
It really contains the dust though which was my main reason for building it.
@@DaveRigDesign Do you have a dust collection port on the box?
I recently added a port to extract find duct/smoke from the box as I also use it for housing a engraving laser now.
But for wood chips I still just vacuum them up after the job is done
Did you move extend the buttons on the long mill controller? What do you do for dust collection? Nice build!
Not doing anything with the buttons on the longmill, I just have the switches from the control box wired to outlets that the Control board, router, vac plug into.
@@DaveRigDesign Can you do a video on the switches and wiring you made?
good night just a question the sound dampening materials are they egg trays?
yup, cheap dampeners. I recently removed them to get more clearance. Also found most of the sound seem to be coming from vibrations through the table. At some point I'll insulate the bottom from underneath which should make a big impact.
Amazing work, I'm wondering if you have the exact measurements and cuts?
I don't have much more then what I show at the start of the video, that was the plan I worked off of. It was made from 6 2'x4' 1/2 inch plywood panels. You just need to cut down the 4 side pieces to the height you want.
@@DaveRigDesign Thanks, I'll follow that closely, oh man I feel bad for asking, but could you tell me your measurements for the table that the mill is on? lol pretty much gonna have to copy your setup cause it's so well done!
@@morethanjustlyrics its 4'x4'. I build it also with 2'x4' panels to make moving them around easy, but if you have the means using 1 4'x4' piece would be better. The bottom layer is 3/4 plywood and the top waist board strips between the T-tracks are 3/4 MDF. With the box also using 2'x4' front and back panels the side fit over the outside of the table and get screwed into from the side. The from and back rest on the table surface.
I ordered my LongMill Saturday and it's going in my basement near my CO2 laser engraver. How well do the egg cartons work for sound dampening?
Has a CNC
Uses a jig saw and a hand held router to cut the viewing window
?!?
CNC wasn’t operational until the enclosure was finished. Fancy tools are no excuse for not knowing how to do things old school 😜
Really helpful. Software choice?
Using UGS to drive it
Like you setup what’s the setup control panel
Just some switches wired to plugs to control the router and CNC and such. There should be a link in the description to where you can download the 3D printing files
where did you place your power supply?
Hmm, I didn't realize I never showed that. The wires run though a hole in the cabinet on the left side near the drag chain and all the electronics are attached to the outside of the box. I have 4 AC outlets mounted there that are wired to the control panel that everything plugs into.
Does this make the machine run quiet
Quieter :)
how does the 16 " height work out ? i read on the longmill site minimum of 20 "
No Problem. I’m looking to add dust collection now and a little more room would make things easier.
@@DaveRigDesign and material was regular 1/2 plywood ?
Yup
Dust collections?
Just vacuum after. The enclosure contains the dust. Cutting anything other then MDF is fine as it is mostly wood chips.
May add a fan to circulate the air in the chamber though a filter to remove the fine dust.
Seriously? Cardboard egg crate for sound proofing? Have you seen any of the videos where an endmill crashes into a clamp, or a clamp loosens and the workpiece binds up the router, causing a fire to start? Wow. I mean, I know most enclosures are made of wood, but this is asking for trouble.
Not sound proofing, it just deadens the high frequency’s and breaks up any resonances. I recently took it out in a re-model to make room.
Also who lets a kit CNC run unattended? They are the ones asking for trouble.
