Awesome video. I always define jobs by the HD Number. Like this is a 4 HD job or a 10 HD job. HD being the number of trips to Home Depot or Lowe's I have to make.
23:00 is your laser cutter following the black sharpie lines? Holy crap, I never thought about how powerful a tool like that could be. Please tell me more
It is comforting to know that you are not the only one making mistakes when doing a project, loved the fact that all the mistakes were not edited out to make the project "smooth".
Great job! Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
I have been following your UA-cam channel for some time now and I not only enjoy your content, I really enjoy how you present it. Fantastic!
As someone who has been designing and programming on various commercial CNCs for close to thirty years, I really enjoy watching many UA-cam channels to see the various ways that everyone uses their CNCs. And although I use some incredible machines every day, I have decided to invest in my own personal CNC for home use. I have purchased a Onefinity Elite Journeyman which I am expecting to get notified any day now to pick up from their warehouse.
Which brought me to your enclosure build video. Thank you. This was exactly what I was thinking about building using this aluminum extrusion and acrylic. Although I already have the QCW table and legs, I have decided to hold off building the enclosure until my Journeyman arrives and built onto the table. Your video reiterated this when you showed the vacuum extraction travels beyond the bed size. Again, thank you.
Keep the great videos coming!
Gus
Great job!!!
Thank you!!
I really have been enjoying your videos, especially this one. I'm about to embark on a much smaller enclosure, but your lessons learned have helped me plan much more effectively. Thank you, and subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Nice job I just made one myself. It helps a lot with dust and cuts the noise down as well. I use a security camera and wifi plug as well so I can shut down in the house if I see any problems.
Yeah, I like it. It's a fairly simple way to enclose the machine and it looks good. I may just do this with my machine.
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for this. My onefinity has been sitting in it's box for a couple months now as i try to rack my head around constructing something sturdy enough for it. As soon as i finish up my voron v2.4 build, ill be starting on this. Hopefully raw material prices drop down a bit by then. Wishful thinking, I know.
Love your videos.. You've made me change my dream machine from shapeoko to the onefinity. You always remind me a bit of Agent Colson from Agents of Shield.. Just a bit..
I watched this video a few days ago. Then yesterday I was in central arkansas makers group and saw you posted. So cool you're a local! Keep up the good work and videos!
Where are you at?
@@MyersWoodshop in Sherwood!
If your in a pinch and/or want to save a few dollars you can model up and 3d print some of the different type 8020 brackets. For this type project the strength PLA should be fine. I used this method in the past when I was short on hardware, worked great.
nice enclosure Ben.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work! Gonna build something similar for my 3d printer, not quite as big as your setup but it is a 400x400x700 build volume - should be fun!
Thanks for the video and including your mistakes for a real world experience!
Don’t want someone else to loose out on the money I spent!
Came out nice. I wouldn't stress about the gaps in plexi letting out noise, as plexi is no good at any real sound reduction anyway (it's a great sound transmitter instead). It's great for letting in light and keeping the chips out of the rest of your workshop, though.
Now you just need a quieter vacuum! LOL
Great vid. Thanks for sharing
My fein is one of the quietest on the market!
@@MyersWoodshop - It was joke. I said it because you have been able to make everything else so quiet that the only thing you can now hear is a relatively quiet dust extraction.
Hey I am a fan of your channel. Your videos helped inspire me to start making videos this past summer. Have you milled 1 inch thick aluminum on the Onefinity? I have been milling aluminum on the Shapeoko 3 and just wanted to get an idea of the difference. I just made a putter out of aluminum using my Shapeoko and it turned out great. You can check out the video if you want. I am curious if a screw driven machine would result in a big difference. Also, instead of screwing the sides in with self tapping screws, you could use t-nuts for the extrusion and the proper machine screw for the nut. It would make it really easy to put the panels in and take them off and the nuts do not need to slide in the sides, you just screw them to the panel and leave it a little loose then the nuts fit in the extrusion and as you tighten they turn one direction and grab the inside of the extrusion.
You are a nerd, but in a good way.
I brought a Shapeoko XXL on last October with router included and now I have my doubts about keep it or not. I'm just starting this CNC road and the only videos I saw that have sense and easy to follow with less frustration were yours. Kind have a lost feeling now...lol.
I wanna come over and help you play with all your cool machines lol.
That is quite the undertaking. It looks pretty slick, and the laser etched doors are a nice touch. Also, thanks for letting us learn from your mistakes.
I hate cutting acrylic on the table saw, I always get showered with molten pieces of plastic. And the clear splinters are the worst.
I don't know if they have a minimum order, but Cope Plastics might be a better local source for acrylic. They're a little farther than Lowe's, though. So they might not be worth it unless it's another big job.
Yeah, basically acrylic bullets shooting at me! The worst!
Hey just found your channel today. Very inspiring work. I still live close to Searcy if you ever want to share some wisdom on what tools to prioritize getting into CNC lol
Great content, My Onefinity will be coming in a couple months, I already have most everything for the setup and this enclosure is a must for my application like all of us.
Question on why the Spindle is not being used now?
Keep up the fantastic work.
Nice video and build. Can you save the Sketchup file to be opened with older versions? I have 17 and it won't let me open it. Thanks, Gary
Great Video, thanks for sharing. Placed my Onefinity order just this week. Do you suppose your original design would have worked if you had used those outside angle brackets that you ended up using for the door? I really like the look of the glass inside of the extrusion. Seems cleaner.
Hi Ben,
Thanks for the post of your enclosure it really looks great I always learn something new from your videos. My OneFinity doesn't ship till late march (my first cnc) and I'm trying to get a head start on my table and enclosure build. I would be grateful if you would share what you determined to be the actual overall footprint of the OneFinity itself including steppers & dust boot.
On a side note, I find a lot of folks posting videos of water cooled spindles and the fact that how quiet they are compared to a standard router. However, I have yet to find any videos showing one in action with any sound level readings. I believe it would be of great interest to anyone considering a spindle upgrade or fabricating a sound deadening enclosure to know what decibel levels and frequency (hertz) range one could expect when actually cutting. ideally in a variety of materials such as mdf, soft/hard woods, acrylic's... Thanks for any consideration, Charlie from Up-State N.Y.
goes from 80-90 without to 60ish with. much more quiet.
Great job Ben! When I was working we made all of our machine equipment with the 8020 and I had thought about doing the same thing you did for my Axiom CNC. What was the tablet that you had mounted on top? I am running an iPad and would like to know if that was compatible. Also I’m going to have to calculate see how much I need to save for an enclosure.
Great video! But the best part was the Ron Swanson clip. 😂
23:00 is your laser cutter following the black sharpie lines? Holy crap, I never thought about how powerful a tool like that could be. Please tell me more
A little late, but you could have shortened the vertical supports (uninstall and chopped off an inch or two) assuming you would still have enough clearance above the z axis. Love the final product either way, great job!
hello, interesting machine, please tell me ... the guides at the machine are the shafts or chrome-plated pipes for the Linear bearing LM .... LUU?
Excellent video! How large did your table top end up being overall?
Have you happened to have done any dB metering to see what the reduction in sound may be? Just curious, but overall thanks so much for this vid! Still deciding on a router myself but this is certainly Enclosure Goals 😂
The clipping audio is part of the adventure.
Nice video, how quite does this enclosure make it, is it very quite
Can an 80mm spindle be used on the onefinity CNC if you get the bracket to hold it?
I like the look of your miter saw stand, what brand and model is it?
love your steelers sign Go Steelers
black and yellow!
Do you think that using the triangle flat brackets that bolt on the outside of the corners would make it easier to get acrylic panels in there? EDIT: Nevermind just got to the end of the video. :D
What length and type of screws are you using to secure the feet to your base?
Nice cabinet. If you were going to do it again would you use the same design with the extruded aluminum? Or would you go with wood?
Extruded aluminum is not rigid. For a more permanent solution I would go with wood
Nice Job...To bad about the extra cash outlay. Two questions. How much of a difference in the sound does it make. Do you think the foam will get coated with dust? Also you will have to let us know how you like it after having to do maintenance on the CNC. Over all Two thumbs up and four knuckles.
Yep, a very costly mistake!.
It makes a huge difference in sound and dust. The foam isn't covered in dust yet!
Looks great and I am sure it functions perfect for what you wanted. But holy cow what a chore. I couldn't imagine how many hours you put into that with all that you had to do. Would have been quicker from the beginning if you had found those flat outside corner pieces first. You have way more patience then I do. I would of lost my mind a long time ago into that build. Great job though.
Yes it was!
You can purchase those hinges in aluminum from 8020.
You might have mentioned in your video so I apologize if I missed it. Looking for the total build cost on the enclosure? Love the video!
about $500.
Could you have reversed the Y rails and put the motors in front? Would have saved a couple of inches. Looks great!
Yeah, i could have.
What table is it on?
I prefer the nuts you can rotate into place. They cost a little more, but you don't have to worry about having them all in place before you assemble. It also enables adding more supports later should it be needed.
BTW, your mic peaks/clips a lot. You should turn down the gain in whatever you have the receiver plugged into and then just level the audio in your video editor.
Experienced users probably know, but for us newcomers: why do you want an enclosure? Noise? Protect your device? Debris?
How are your options for an enclosure affected by your reasons for building it?
Won't those plexiglass collect dust really bad?
I like how you have the nice spindle sitting on the outside of the enclosure and you are using the loud router still.....Any reason for this????
If you look at the beginning, you'll see i have an even bigger spindle in the machine now! It was just a place to store both spindle/router while the other wasn't in use.
That looks awesome! What was the total cost (without the plexi glass "mess up")
around 500$
@@MyersWoodshop I believe that was the extrusion stuff which cover most of the amount...
I was going to mention how important measuring is, if not for ordering at least for dimensional reasons. You later found this out by building to ~24-1/2" rather than 24" So I won't mention it.
I too design on the fly but a simple box could have been designed ahead of time. This would have exposed those dimensional errors that require going to the next size of something. It would especially cut down on waste and may possibly have reduced shipping costs.
I also have to add.... WOW you spent over $290 for the frame and it isn't even Mahogany!
yep. big mistake.
Good job. Sucks you had to start over. I have to ask, why didn't you just cnc cut the plastic to fit the top? Don't you know anyone with a cnc router? :)
should have put a 1x2 flat at the bottom and then you could have done the 2x4 foot you needed
You bought a 4x8 sheet of plexiglass during covid!! Ouch!😂🤣
Tell me about it
I use polycarbonate for my companies cold air intake kits and I have been waiting 6 months for it to arrive. Wish I had invested in the plastic companies.
What happened to the spindle?
I use a 2.2kw one now!
@@MyersWoodshop My research seems to indicate a 2.2kw spindle would only come in an 80mm (or larger) diameter. The spindle at the beginning of the video sure looks like an 80mm. The question is, where can I get mounting for such a spindle? I read elsewhere you were using a 2.2kw and have been searching through your videos trying to find one that addresses that upgrade (from the .8kw), but have been unsuccessful.
howcome you dont have the spindle installed?
I sold the smaller one and now have an 80mm 2.2kw one.
@@MyersWoodshop ok. did you go with the same HUANYANG brand or did you find somthing different/better?
Same
Couldn't you have welded the panels back together with acitone. Butt joints would not be as strong as new but these would not be load bearing panels.
If I owned a welder or have ever even touched one...probobly?🤷♂️
@@MyersWoodshop no, not a metal welder.
I mean chemically welding with a solvent like acetone. I have done it while making templates for router guiding. It works very well and allows you to use up cut offs.

It was a reasonable expensive project not to have a plan to follow, no?
What do you do when there is no plan?
@@MyersWoodshop draw a plan? 😂 Don’t take me bad, I love the project and the result. It was just painful to see you spending twice
Are you secretly Italian? Your hands love to follow your mouth. Hopefully they aren't pipe fitters hands 🤫
Another waist of 43! minutes and with no point!!!!! why go for all this trouble and not show us the main point for all of it? - How much noise have you managed to reduce?!?!?
The disrespect showed the Lowes employee killed an otherwise great video. Had to stop right there 😔
It’s a joke from one of my favorite tv shows, parks an rec
