Awesome project!
Congratulations!! And well done for going open source, that's always a really bold and generous move! Kudos!
Reiner, that is very impressive. Nice work, and especially for a first revision. Thank you for posting this. I'm here to follow from this point on :)
As a DIY cnc guy my self this is awsome! subscribed!
Best Matt
Instant subscription. Amazing work!
omg this is some cutting edge frikkin awesome stuff! And its open source w000t!! Im excited!
This is really cool man nice work!
Brilliant! Great example of how 3D printing can make stuff accessible to makers that wouldn't really be viable any other way. Thanks for sharing.
Andrew Moore thanks! Thats the idea. So many pronters are just used to make stuff that will turn into waste. Printers have there limitation but that doesnt mean we cant make some very useful stuff with them.
This amazing work! We will watch your career with great interest.
Carl Siemens starwars refrerence? How appropriate.
Awesome project, once my CNC is up and running this will be a future project.
I imagine someone with experience in lost PLA aluminum casting might make some awesome parts. Nice work !
I would be TEALLY interested to see the progress of this VERY cool project!
Cant wait to see it running
I think I like you.
Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Oh yeah you did awesome build !
Awesome and brilliant!
This is freaking awesome 👏
Awesome and fantastic!!!!!!!
I like that you incorporated some of my design pieces into your project update, im the one who modified your previous file and sent it to a guy on facebook, now i see them on here, the parts are even still labelled exactly the same, like spindle mock, outer spindle clamp, inside spindle clamp etc
such a great design! i mean just a few things to mod but great work sir!
A very nice project
Wow Awesome , This is cool , looking forward to add this to my cnc machine...
Nice work!!
great project, thanks for sharing!
Awesome project
Amazing! Really looking forward to seeing it finished. I've got some large ballscrews that are calling for a project. I'll be printing it with FDM. I'm not great at CAD but maybe I'll cut some channels to reinforce it with carbon fibre rods or something.
Thank you so much! This is very reciting.
I spent a few hours to reverse-engineering the video and F360-models to make the project more "Open-Source", so if someone willing: V-axis bearing is "6009-zz (5972K271)", U-axis bearing is "6210-2RS (5972K366)", The pulley are "1428N420_T5 SERIES TIMING BELT PULLEY" The U-belt is MEGADYNE MPW2 T5 400 3017, the V-axis belt I can't find, the video not clear about it same as at the 3D model... Hope I helped you a little 😆
Best regards, Linda 😇
thanks!
@@MrReinerMSchmidt yw! Btw, it will be awesome if you help us with the belt and pulley naming, i think we are good enough to know this XD
@@MethelinaPills I'm going to look through some old notes. I couldn't find the belts in my order history but from the CAD I can reverse calculate them.
@@MrReinerMSchmidt Cool, thx, it will help!
I love it. Awesome job. I have so many questions.....
I've never seen a project on UA-cam with 100% positive and complimenting comments! Well done, subscribed.
Nice Project!!
I'm going to make my 3D printer 5-axis with that
thanks a lot
that's very practical
this is going to be interesting to follow........
Reeeaaalllyy cool 👍👍
I'm going to build a 5-Axis mill sometime next year. I was planning on designing a multi-axis head... and I think you just saved me an incredible amount of time! I'm going to closely follow your progress... this promises to be a very interesting build.
I just had someone order a MESA board and they want me to figure out how to make a 5-Axis... so... I'm starting with a table type design, then I'll use this design (full credit of course) and get started.
I need the parts list for the belts, bearings, and other parts PLEASE.
Agreed ! Same idea, with the headstock ??... or a trunnion rotary table also ??

This is amazing! This is really high quality work! Are you still developing this? I don't mean to make you feel any pressure or anything... I am just really excited! I can't wait to hear from you!
This is awesome. Any updates on the project?
im in the middle of building my own CNC table and might be doing a 5 axis upgrade down the line, in the mean time i'll have to set it up for a hand router. hope to see the bridge boy in action soon!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Usually I just use a combined drill, thread-cutter and countersinker to cut my threads into parts made out of nGen filament. For mechanical parts I use a 1.0mm nozzle and large layer size, resulting in crazy-strong parts because there are less and bigger intersections betweens lines of filament.
Would love to see an update on this project!
I like to joint the first fastener (bolt, washer and nut), pattern the set, and then joint all the patterned joints together as a group.
Hello. How do you plan to control this? LinuxCNC, GRBL, Mach3? I want to make a 5-axis cnc mill, but not a bridge mill like yours. I want to use a vertical mill design. Will your control software be able to handle that?
Well i have experience with linuxcnc so im probably gonna try that. I have also written a gcode interpriter in python but its not the greatest.
You might want to look up pyCNC, as it is based on just a RPi, with stepper driver.
Tthank you very much
Fantastic ... love to see it spinning in anger ;-)
Great project, can't wait to see it moving.
How will you program 5 axis milling? Full 5 axis continuous milling or using the 4th and 5th only as index
Did you press-fit the BridgeBoy pieces into the middle of the bearings?
TheRainHarvester they are a very tight fit but i was able to just press them in by hand. I want to be able to remove them in case i smash something making the machine :S
thanks for sharing. superb project. i wonder if it will need "U" brackets rather than "L" brackets for extra rigidity
This is really cool! I would like to build this:)
Awsome work! Are you also going to post a follow up and show the entire machine? :)
Cheers!
Do you have any links for the bearings and the belts, here in the UK I cannot seem to find the ones in the CAD files.
Nice, thank you. I might try printing it in petG. And by the way. You don't need flenches on the 3d printed timing wheels. It should only be flenches on the motor wheels. I stay tuned for the actual application 🙂👍
That's pretty cool, you should elevate the spindle motor a bit further and put the stepper on the other side if you can. If you do, you could have a full 360 degree rotation with the spindle which may or may not ever come in handy but it would be pretty cool haha
Great project. Thanks for sharing. What software do you suggest?
Wish i grew up with this toy.
Amazing (subscribed)! Do you have a site or wiki set up with models, BOMs and build instructions?
Awsome design! Any plans on adding slip rings?
High caliber stuff m8. Ill slap it on a cnc plasma table with a wee bit of modifications, and Ill upload a video on it when Im done.
This actually would be a great end effector for a robot's arm or maybe like a rover or something to dig a planet's surface :D
Thank you..perfect...
nice Design!
Looking forward for the completed machine.
how are you going to mount all the cables for rotating axis? 360° on C would be nice i think
Hi. I was reviewing your design, as I was interested duplicating some aspect of it. I am wondering how preloading of the bearings is achieved?
so cool :-D how did it work out? ^^
Hi, what a awesome project :)
Is there a list of parts needed that are not 3D printed?
Belt, bearings?
awesome
made a copy of this myself and is a great learning tool to figure out things about a 5 axis, have you made any more progress on this?
Wow! Nice work!!. For some reason, I'm not seeing the large L bracket in the 360 or IGES models..
Hi, great design ! The biggest part of the assembly is actually missing on the Fusion 360 model, at least the current version of it. Is there an alternative repertory to get it ? Thanks, I look forward to build it and test it with foam.
Soo cool. Any update on this in action ?
hello, your work is impressive Reiner Congratulations, I would like to do something to add to my cnc wood :) but I have doubts with the electronics,
Could you tell me how to synchronize those two axes with the XYZ of the CNC? Or could you use an arduino mega with shield ramps 1.4 to handle everything?
the other query is, what firmware is used for this beauty?
Thank you, please continue to inspire us
What are you going to use as a CAM program?
How long did the project take?
Nice machine...i like tis

Amesome design Reiner! any updates so far on this?
how are you getting on with this awesome project?? even if you've shelved it, i'm sure all would like to know... Thanks!
It would be amazing to have the stl files split into parts for 3D printing and modifications. The current file is a great cad representation of the design however, not suitable for 3D printing right away. I am not a huge CAD expert just like many others here who are looking at your product , so I just like to assemble code and see the result. I know a bit of SketchupPro & Fusion 360 , but not an expert at that software. thanks for your work , its great!!!
Hello, did you get this machine operational? I’ve been looking for exactly this type of build for the same reasons you outlined. An update would be much appreciated.
Reiner, can you please update on this topic it's actually can be extremely helpful for newbies with huge ambitions, for instance there's no L-part to base on(it would be cool to have a list of all parts what you used) also it would be interesting to see your progress
I was going to convert a radial arm saw into a 450mmX 900mm X 450mm xyz table for 3d printing / CNC. I was going to skip controlling the swivel and bevel, but if I adapt something like this to the arm, It could be cool. I guess before I try adapting, I probably should take care of stepper control for X, Y, And Z first.
Hi there, did soemone extract the different parts for printing?
Hello, it look amazing! is the any proceed on this project`? best regards Michael from Germany
Hi, do you have a video on how to build it. Awesome project !!
Hey There! im in the process of 3d printing one of these Bad Boys, will you please tell, whitch length, the belt is? Great job! regards.
Very nice build. Thanks for sharing. I fail to access the A360 file both via the link and trying to search for it on the site. Can you share the STEP file in some other way or check if the link is still working? Thanks
Hi Reiner, just found your amazing video! i have made almost same model like this!
How did you eliminate the natural play from the bearings? I am using two big bearings that i pull towards each other, but don't get it as compact as yours. My bearings are OD80 by ID60.
I print my model from standard PLA with 5 wall thickness and 50% infill. Print took about 28 hours, but result is amazing. Weight about 700 gram, so about 20 dollar (15 euro). Also i'm using Nema 23, think you have nema 17?
Do you have a new video of this beauty in action?
6:09 listen to what he's says about play/backlash
Hello Reiner, happy to print this out using FDM ( LulzBot TAZ 6 ) and SLA ( Form 2 ) to see how it fares. For testing purposes, I'll print it out in PLA, and then again in something stronger like Taulman Nylon 619.
Do you have the sub-assemblies exported as STL files for easier printing?
The Makers Workshop great! No but i beleive you can download them from the link? Or are they all in one STL? I can throw the .stls on git.
Hello i´m very interested in your excellent work, i tried to load a separeted piece as stl file but it will exported as one whole biuld. it would be nice to put the indiviual parts in git or places like thingiverse
Reiner Schmidt, that would be good. I can download the complete model, but autocad 360 does not allow me to export it broken down by assembly
I would also like to download the STL files. Have they been posted anywhere? The link in your description is for viewing and markup of the entire assembly. Sorry to ask for a lot of files, but people are going to need an STL for each part that is 3-D printed. Also a link to the exact bearings you used would be very helpful. Nad as though I'm not asking a whole lot, an IPT file which can be opened and modified for each part would let us make improvements (such as some way to tension the belts to reduce backlash as parts wear).
Fantastic...since a lot of years i thought how to do for 5 axis...your explanations are awesome...Could you tell me if the 3d model will be available for Freecad 0.18 then to print with Cura 4.2.0...Thank's a lot for this video... :-))
best one pro...
What firmware are you going to use to drive this mill?
I modified these files as you suggested. Printed in PETG, I found straight 1.78A rms NEMA 17's to skip steps, so went with a 5:1 planetary. Using Dynomotion Klfop board and software to handle the kinematics. Just test cuts so far in foam but seems to be promising. Once roadworthy will machine a foam main body and do lost -foam casting. My belts seem a hair loose for some reason so added some ultra "custom" tensions. Maybe a redesign to build in tensioners? idk, anyway thanks again for getting the design out there!
ua-cam.com/video/DF6puTm5a_8/v-deo.html here is the test kinematics video
awesome work! could you please share the modified files :)
I think you should add aluminum plates on the side to aid in rigidity with screw holes to hold them inplace while drying. Laser cut parts are cheap
what kind of belts did you use?
What software/electronics would you use to control the 5 axis system ? Would Marlin/ Arduino work?
you should continue this project!
Hello Reiner, could you tell me how to load all parts of your bridge Boy because with Fusion 360 i can get the complete head, or dissambled parts but not pieces one by one...thank's a lot
are you using mach3 to control the machine?
don't see any links anywhere but I'm wondering maybe printing the parts and casting them but if there are files somewhere please share thanks!
subscribed. I'm very curious to know if the heat from the steppers will affect the rigidity of it.
Mogalize good question. I am underdriving the steppers but they may still get to 40-50 degrees C.
great design, thanks for sharing. how much does it weight?
Thomas Kramer couldnt say off hand but a lot. The motors and bearings are quite heavy. I would say about 4 or 5 kgs.
when I click on the link the L shaped arm does not load and when I download it its missing, am I doing something wrong? thanks!
