I just want to show my admiration. You are doing a lot of incredible things well without getting too distracted from the main goal. Thank you for showing this.
Please make more videos, it's very impressive works of engineering art and people like you that prove what a dedicated person can do to improve their own life and help those around them. Amazing engineering, you're definitely a motivator in my life after seeing how impressive this video is.
Im in the process of building a PrintNC Desktop V4, but man this thing looks amazing! I might end up trying to build one of these too if you ever release the parts/plans! Great work dude! Love the motors and electronics being hidden inside the Y axis!
Subscriber 223 here. I would love to see more of a how-to on this. Or maybe you could point us to where we can go to replicate this? Interested in a cost breakdown as well. Voron is coming out with a design (Cascade) so very interested in how this might compare. Thanks for considering.
Love the integrated electronics enclosure and the ball nut drives. 3.8" vertical range seems quite small though. My machine has about 7x6" XY movement and 4 3/8" Z movement, and Z is the one I most wish I had more of.
With the exception of using ballscrews this is extremely close to the design of version 1 of my homebuilt machine which I'm also thinking about rebuilding into version 2. Only reason I'm rebuilding is to scale it down so it takes up less space and maybe gains a little extra stiffness, don't know why I thought I needed a 800x700 work area. However after seeing that ballnut setup I think I'll be making that change too. Nice build.
Yes I did subscribe and like for part two (pleaseeee). I love this too much. I have a genmitsu cnc which I love but it is underpowered and I haven’t had much success cutting aluminium. I always wanted to make a cnc like this, with a big, bulky setup. I love how this one has fixed ball screws where the ball nuts move, and the little round display as well as the pendant are just amazing touches that I didn’t even think about. Using epoxy and granite is a great idea for rigidity, especially in the extrusions, but I guess the trade off is an extremely heavy machine (I can’t pick up much more than my 25kg 3030 pro max 😂). Id also never thought about using a BLDC motor for the spindle, which is not actually a bad idea, if you don’t need too much power. I’d love to see where the cnc machine projects go to, because just looking at the milling at the start is quite impressive for something home built. (I’ve already subscribed and liked on two accounts pleaseeeee make more videos 😅)
Great job mate! With your DRO, it might help to have a background slider to show distance to go behind the position of each coordinate. My hurco does this and it's helpful when you're running a job for the first time. Also very useful to switch the DRO between G53 global coordinates and all the offsets like G54 etc. My machine only shows G53 and G54 together but I wish it would show G55, G56, etc for setting up different fixtures
Got this recommended in my feed and I'm not disappointed! Commenting to please the algorithm and to let you know this is a quality video! One remark that may just be me, some of the shots ant text is slightly too fast to follow. You may take a bit more time to show off awesomeness.
Oh wow. That ball nut drive looks like a good anti-whip system for using the budget ball screws on the longer side of length. Nice machine. makes it feel not worth it to buy one when i have the means to make one. Thanks for the inspiration. Love this machine. Well done.
bedslinger is usualy a better way for cnc. the way you have it, all 3 axees are ultimately mounted on the y rails. sepaarating them into 2+1 would give more rigidity. im also currently building a mill/router with a simmilar footprint, but bedslinger. how would you compare aluminium profiles to a construction steel frame rigidity ways? what mrr can you achieve with your aluminium extrusion frame? currently in the process of deciding wether to build a steel frame or use profiles. profiles would sure be a hell of a lot easier to align and straighten, not to mention the straightness and flatness of the profiles themselves. your oppinion? edit: i dont think the stepper drives are meant for motors that "big" edit 2: no way ur literally using an esp32 as the main controller ;D (no hate, just seems inappropriate and funny to me) machines like that usually run on mach or linuxcnc, dont think esp does either. edit 3: omgg please straighten your y ballscrews its literally visible with the naked eye. the front plates might have some play when mounting to the main frame extrusions. maybe try loosen it and tighten while holding it up, might be enough to semi straighten the screw.
Awesome project, I also use a BLDC motor for my spindle, but a much smaller one (RCtimer 5015, as I only mill PCBs on it). How are you liking the 6473 motor as a spindle? Any downsides?
Commenting to ask about cost, and build plans. I like the work envelope, and the cnc's I've looked at were 5kish, I've always thought I could build one for a few K Instead. subscribed and am very interested. Please post more details!
Interesting build, great job well done! I look forward to seeing how this project evolves. I'd like to see a video showing the impovements from version 1 to 2 in the machining of Aluminium. Just how much has all the expense and the hard work gained?
It's a compact and powerful machine. I like it a lot. I have one of my own, though not as powerful. I look forward to your support. By the way, I also subscribed. I look forward to more.
Cody, "Bravo" for this incredible work. Where did you find the spindle block? 100% home made or it's a commercial block and you add the brushless motor? If it's a commercial solution, it would be nice to share the information ;-) Thank you (I look forward to the rest of this achievement).
The mix is made like concrete. The epoxy binds the granite aggregate. You mix it all together and pour it in. If you didn't mix the epoxy and granite first, the granite would not fully mix with the epoxy and you'd have loose pockets.
How does that rotating ball nut work with only thrust bearings? On my machine i have the ball screw nut inside of 2 large diameter deep groove ball bearings to support it radially. The two thrust bearings your using only seem to support axial loads?

I have designed and made a number of CNC mills / routers mainly using 8020. You have some really good design ideas here. Well done.
Can you sell the plans for this? I would love to build this!!! I need to build this lol!!!
I second this. Please make these plans available for your newly founded following!
Yes!! Give us some good stuff please!
Im also interested
Me too, very much so. Fantastic job
✋🖐️✋🖐️🖐️
Very nice packaging of the components into the gantry sides.
The whole build looks great
Loving the attention and intention behind the details. Keep up the good work!
Excellent work!
I really think it would be worthwhile to add bellows to protect the ball screws and linear rails.
A LOT of planning and work went into this! Well done, very impressive :)
Nice design features, like that ones with axial bearings together with motor positions. Excelent engineering work!

Having only one cnc mill reminds people of when Noah took only one unicorn on his arc. Hence it is socially frowned upon.

Same here
Same here
Would love to see some attempts at cutting steel
Can u make a video about this spindle and how you make one?
Absolutely incredible work! This machine is a huge inspiration.
874 views? What a mythical pull from UA-cam. Excellent work!
the channel has only ONE video and it was posted 3 days ago.... what did you expect, 3 million views?
Definitely want to see more.
If you document this for us to remake I’ll be among the first! Awesome project
great job man thanks for the video . I always appreciate a good diy cnc video .

Amazing conception, congratulations !
Ball screws on the Y-axis are clamped on both sides, the arc will become
This is incredible! Do you plan to add any coolant functionality to this or a future build?
I gotta say that this machine is sick. Thanks for the effort of sharing this beauty! Hope you will make a ton of chips with it!

edit 3: omgg please straighten your y ballscrews its literally visible with the naked eye. the front plates might have some play when mounting to the main frame extrusions. maybe try loosen it and tighten while holding it up, might be enough to semi straighten the screw.
Great work! I'd be very interested in more details or plans.
We want to see full project. Nice work🎉
Disclaimer: This is NOT a negative comment. Can you share any limitations of this particular build? What can and cant it cut? Great build!
Insanely well made machine and solid video. Subbed!
This is awesome! Waiting to see what this can handle
1500mm/s feedrate on aluminium on desktop? Holy damn!
Very nice!
but whats with the lead screw woble ?
this is amazing work!
That's really really cool. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I had to sub that looks like a solid design. Any chance you will have plans and a bom to share or sell?
Awesome project, I also use a BLDC motor for my spindle, but a much smaller one (RCtimer 5015, as I only mill PCBs on it). How are you liking the 6473 motor as a spindle? Any downsides?

Would love to build my own, any chance to get the plans for it?
What flycutter are you using? amazing work
Interesting build, great job well done! I look forward to seeing how this project evolves. I'd like to see a video showing the impovements from version 1 to 2 in the machining of Aluminium. Just how much has all the expense and the hard work gained?
Nice job! I'm in the process of making CNC too and I thought to fill the base with granite epoxy too. My profiles are already filled. :)
How do you drive the 6374? i'm in the same situation and i'm using a vesc 4.12, but i'm not fully satisfied
why didn't you mix the granite and epoxy? i've never seen anyone use epoxy granite like that
also what is that dope track at the end?
What sort of accuracy were you able to get before and now? 6:16
Closed loop stepper?
Very nice any thoughts on plans and dfx files
Not much to say. Art.
that's one heck of a build.
nice jop man
Can i, uh, buy the old one?!?
It's a compact and powerful machine. I like it a lot. I have one of my own, though not as powerful. I look forward to your support. By the way, I also subscribed. I look forward to more.
I love the Axial Thrust bearings, good Engineering. I would love wo see more. The First CNC I see I would Copy myself 1:1.
What parts are you using for spindle and collets mount axies?
Cody, "Bravo" for this incredible work.
Where did you find the spindle block? 100% home made or it's a commercial block and you add the brushless motor?
If it's a commercial solution, it would be nice to share the information ;-) Thank you (I look forward to the rest of this achievement).
What a nice machine. Did you consider filling the side extrusions with epoxy sand?
That was awesome! Som day in the future, I would like to have that kind of CNC machine. Are you planing to sell kits or the plan?
Is a CNC like a Cricut?
Nice!
But the epoxy resin should not be mixed with granite before pouring it in the final shape/place? 🙄
The mix is made like concrete. The epoxy binds the granite aggregate. You mix it all together and pour it in.
If you didn't mix the epoxy and granite first, the granite would not fully mix with the epoxy and you'd have loose pockets.
This is my kind of shit!
I would love to hear more about your goals for using this?
Loved the video! Keep it up!
cost?!
Well done!!!
Thanks for posting!
Nice job on the video
Have to second many of the comments. Awesome build.
this open source or production ?
How does that rotating ball nut work with only thrust bearings? On my machine i have the ball screw nut inside of 2 large diameter deep groove ball bearings to support it radially. The two thrust bearings your using only seem to support axial loads?
At 3:28 you can just barely see that there's a needle roller bearing inside the front upright in addition to the two thrust bearings.
@@thingsapartdamn bro your the new hawk eye!
@@thingsapartnow I can see they are also visible at 3:10
This is super cool
o dio fai da te ? e un lavoro da extraterreste! complimenti !
Nice one!
very nice!
very nice

Good royalty free music is tough to find. A lot of people use White Bat Audio for it now tho and honestly it’s the best source I’ve seen.
You here for the music only?
