- This time I'm going to walk you through installing the machine and post processor files in Fusion, how to update the firmware and MOS on the Milo, and show it making some chips!
00:00 Introduction
00:57 Installing machine definition and post processor
02:50 Walk through operations
07:33 Post process and export gcode
09:14 Update firmware and MOS
11:38 Upload gcode to RRF
13:13 Configure MOS (WCS, touch probe)
21:53 Start cutting!
The firmware can be downloaded from github.com/MillenniumMachines...
The Millennium Machines Discord server: / discord
The touchprobe I use: www.aliexpress.us/item/325680...
Some helpful files and info can be found at github.com/West3D-Printing/Milo

Very cool. Thanks for making another great video showing off the latest
Nice work!!
Thanks!
By far the best video I’ve watched on the Milo. Definitely helps a lot. Looks super easy to get going. Are you gonna stick with fusion or move to Freecad?
I'm sticking with Fusion for now, since I've been using it for years. Still open to making a change, though
What worries me is the lack of real CNC machine experiance from the Millennium Machine team members. Jake and Nine Mile are great guys but they are more from a 3D printing background which, in my option, shows in some of their design choices. For example chip management. You can see @29:38 the lead screw is covered with chips. Where are the bellows? I also noticed that the holes on the linear rails have no caps. It will be interesting to see how the machine holds up in the long term >>>>>
True ninemile and I don't have industry experience but between Ed and Dave there is at least 30 years of manufacturing and CNC specific experience we don't just guess between them and myself we find the best ways to do things with the limited budgets and with the knowledge that those guys give me its a big team effort.
@@jakeengland1430 Jake, Thanks for replying. I wish you all the best and hope you do well. I will probalby buy a kit sometime in the future but I will wait for version 2.0 😁
Yeah definitely correct in that I don't have real CNC experience - I'm a software engineer turned hobby mechanic / engine builder (out of necessity lol), but as Jake says we have guys on the team with a lot of experience running actual equipment, and they are listened to.
I started out as a milling newbie building a self-sourced Milo and once I had the hardware and electronics together it was clear to me there was a gaping hole in the 'knowledge gap' between 3D printing and running a mill, and that I was in a good spot to do something about it - which is where MillenniumOS came from.
I'm hoping the stuff I've learned and understood from those who know more than I do can be distilled down for others to learn from in future :)
Nice work, Albeit throwing chips like a pro LOL... Add a dust collector to that to help with management
I'm adding an enclosure :)
I see a lot of people with this machine using that same vice. did it come with the LDO kit? If not, where did it come from? Great series, thanks for not making it 6 hours long. :)
The kit doesn't come with workholding, the vice is by www.inceptionmachines.co.uk/
Great vid, thanks for going through the process 👍- when running multiple ops because of the Fusion limitation, it might be best to untick 'Home before start', especially when you're not re-probing the origin - otherwise there's a chance your endstops activate early / late and put your machine slightly out of alignment with the previous operations.
Aside from that, yep - MOS is _very_ verbose with tutorial mode on. I'm not sure whether it would be better to move some of its' cycle documentation onto the website. It's definitely a better place to _read_ the documentation but it isn't available if your Milo is running in AP mode or you otherwise don't have internet access. Difficult choices 🤔
MOS being verbose is a feature, not a bug! Eventually I'll turn it off, but for now it's great to have a guide walking me through the operation of the mill. Thanks for writing it!
you link to the milo kits doesnt yield anything.
Works here…
