    Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I would recommend relocating the smoke detector to outside of the cabinet. It won’t take long for the dust to collect inside the detector and set it off. As an alternative, you could use a heat detector (rate of rise); however I am not sure they are Wi-Fi compatible.

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  Рік тому

      You’re welcome. As far as the smoke detector, I’ve had it in that position since I’ve build it with only two instances of it going off. I went off once for carbon monoxide with no clear reason or indication (we took all necessary precautions) and the second time was when I blew out the enclosure with compressed air - dust was everywhere. I’ve used the CNC with and without dust collection and have never set it off during use.

    I built a PrintNC CNC and it was super fun. I still have no enclosure and I intend to build one like yours. I recommend you get a cheap little label printer (I got a "phomemo" one for $30 and it was invaluable to label wires and cables. I was writing on electrical tape and it was so frustrating. Great purchase. Also recommend you setup a contactor for disconnect rather than the smart switch.

Also, how did you hook up the e-stop to your CNC? Does your CNC come with a control box? If so, how did you wire it to the e-stop. I'm looking for electrical advice, just curious how you did yours? thanks again.

    First, thank you for your service!!!! This is an excellent build. Very well done. I have already purchased the plans to build this for my Shapeoko3 xxl. My biggest concern is controlling dust as I share my garage with my better half. I noticed you are using the Festool dust vac. I am wondering how that is working for you as the cfm is only about 135. Also, any concerns of it over heating being in the cabinet? Thanks for a great video.

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  2 роки тому

      The Festool CT15 has been doing great; plenty of suction for a 2.5” dust hose. It’s even doing a great job with the efficiency loss due to the chip separator. As far as the heat generated inside the enclosure, I added a small fan (like a computer fan) to the back and wired it to my auxiliary switch on the control panel. Now I can turn on the exhaust fan and blow out the excess heat. I tried plugging this into the Festool extractor to trigger when the extractor comes on, but the amperage isn’t enough to trigger the “auto on” feature of the extractor.

    @tedapke6519 2 роки тому +2

    The main reason I want to build an enclosure is to reduce the noise. I really like the sliding top but I wonder how much of an impact that has on noise reduction. Any thoughts or observations you have on this?

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  2 роки тому +7

      Hey Ted! Thanks for the complement and comment. The sliding enclosure is definitely not the best sound reduction method out there. I’m sure you’ve already watched videos with locking doors and sound proofing foam on the inside of the enclosure. Those designs will obviously reduce observed sound outside the enclosure more than my design. I chose to prioritize functionality and ease of maintenance (I felt like the foam would be a nightmare to clean the chips and dust off of). With that said, this enclosure significantly reduces observed sound in a garage workshop setting. Most notably, the pitch / whine of the router is lowered, making it more tolerable.
      My long term plan for noise reduction is to augment my Shapeoko Pro with a water cooled spindle. I think this will have a greater impact than most enclosure design choices (with exception to the most extreme) on the observed sound outside the enclosure.
      To close, I really enjoy the functionality of the sliding top. It gives the feel of an unenclosed CNC while setting up you work holding, vacuuming dust, etc; very convenient. I am happy with the prioritization of ease of use over sound attenuation; it’s quiet enough for me.
      I hope this helps!

  • @AdamsLeatherWorks

    Very cool enclosure! I like how the sides retract. Clever idea with the smoke sensor and smart plug. Can the plug be automatically turned off if the smoke sensor detects smoke? May require IFTTT integration, which also falls into the voodoo realm.

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  2 роки тому

      Thank you! I think IFTTT could automate the smart plug. This is my first Google Nest Smoke Alarm, so I can’t say for sure, but I’ve set up a few smart home automations with IFTTT before and could envision it working. I primarily wanted the smart smoke alarm in case I was remotely monitoring the CNC, I might not hear a traditional siren over the running CNC and dust collection; this way, I’ll get a notification on my iPhone and the iPad I’ll be monitoring the CNC with.

      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  2 роки тому

      I don’t at this time; sorry! I eventually want to develop those plans, but I think major modifications will be necessary to adequately utilize the space underneath the CNC. Namely, I want to add a third bank of drawers, rather than simply expand the two banks already designed. This will be more time consuming than simply modifying the parametric variables; that’s why I haven’t got to it yet.

    • @tyler39343
      @tyler39343 11 місяців тому

      For what it's worth, I did the lazy version of this and just added 12 inches of total width, and split the different at 6 extra inches of width to the drawers. It is working well and didn't require any complicated math (I did have to add a middle piece of frame to the front door as I couldn't find an affordable piece of polycarbonate that big... but that was the worst of the adjustments needed).

    what would you say the weight capacity would by with your build?

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  Рік тому

      Just a guess, anywhere from 500-600 lbs with a safety factor of 2. This is an informed guess based on a weightlifting half rack I built out of 2x4s (build plans available on my Etsy store). I did some analysis of a single 2x4 under compression load, along the grain (2x4 on its end, standing upright; which is similar to the frame of this enclosure) and it can support 500 lbs all by itself, if it isn’t allowed to be cross loaded, or put under an extra torque, etc. With four 2x4’s in the frame, one in each corner, and braced against deflection, I’d say it can easily support 500+ lbs. this assumes the weight is fairly evenly distributed across the top (I.e. not a point load).
      In a practical matter, I’ve stood on this enclosure a lot (180lbs) and haven’t experienced any deflection while standing, walking, crawling, etc. it’s rock solid. I’m sure it will hold any CNC that will fit on it.

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  11 місяців тому

      I haven't had any issues so far. I did install a small computer fan in the back of the enclosure cabinet to get some airflow back there. I just wired the fan to my auxiliary switch on my control panel. I'm not sure if this was needed - I ran it for months with out the fan - but it makes me feel better.

    • @tyler39343
      @tyler39343 11 місяців тому

      Thanks@@EngineeringWorkshop_hvw. That's good to hear, and good tip on the computer fan. I'm thinking I'll try something like that or a bathroom exhaust fan and pipe it outside.
      I just finished an adapted wider version of your enclosure, and while this project absolutely kicked my butt as someone new to woodworking, your plans and instructions were really well done and kept me on track. The only issue I've had is the front-top not wanting to slide back... but I suspect it's because I did two drawer slides on the top and probably need to re-align / reinforce for sagging on the back half. Or I just didn't get that piece square, which is very possible.
      You mentioned this in another comment, but for anyone else looking at this, I'm also pleasantly surprised at the sound reduction. I'm sure it's not anything like the soundproof-designed enclosures you see on here, but it's completely possible to have a normal level conversation or watch a TV show next to the enclosure while it's running.
      Thank you!

    Fantastic video! I just moved and put my CNC in a room in the basement. I saw your comments on someone's question regarding noise reduction. Do you have a sense using your phone with the noise reduction would be between the lid open and the lid closed? Again thanks for sharing! Great design! And most importantly, thank you for your service.

    Hello. I have a Onefinity, and plan to use a Festool for my dust collection setup, with a cyclone added. Do you find this is sufficient for suction. Any drawbacks , other than price? How is the noise, and heat?

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  2 роки тому +1

      The Festool has been great so far. Plenty of section with a 2.5” hose going from my chip separator (5 gal bucket with plastic thien baffle) to my router dust boot. The noise is fine tucked away in the enclosure. It’s obviously louder with the drawer open, but still quieter than a shop vac for sure. It does generate heat in the enclosure. To fix this, I’m going to install a fan into the back of the enclosure to exhaust some of the heat. It’s a plug in fan, which I plan to plug into the front of the festool, then wire a switch to my control panel. This will allow me to turn on the vacuum with my switches, rather than pressing the button in the front of the dust extractor.

    how rigid is the table for when the CNC is milling?

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  Рік тому +1

      I haven't measured the table for displacement while milling, but I would heuristically say the entire assembly is very stable. I think the most movement comes from the casters. Also, I don't push my CNC very hard against dense materials - most wood is soft enough that it won't put so much strain into the machine that the table will deflect. Compare this to machining hard metals. Generally speaking, I haven't seen anyone use the proper work-holding on their projects to resist the forces required to flex the work surface the CNC sits on. My point (especially for double sided tape) if the CNC was strong enough to flex the table while milling, it would break the part off the waste board first.

    What hose are you using? It looks way more flexible than the hose I have for mine.

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw

      I'm using 2.5" dust hose from Woodcraft. I'm sure you can also get something similar from Rockler, etc., I just liked the color scheme of the Woodcraft one - matches the machine better. It's been great so far. I use a Festool CT-15 dust extractor and an inline thien baffle chip separator beneath my enclosure (large drawer on the left) and the suction has been all I need - keeps everything really clean and I don't recut my chips.

    Hey mate awesome build! I wasn't planing on build an enclosure until I saw your video. Anyway, I know its easy to convert everything but your planes don't happen to have the metric version do they?

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  2 роки тому +1

      Hey! Thanks for the complement. I don’t have a metric version, but I would love to make one. I have designed everything parametrically in Fusion 360, so it will be very easy to convert all dimensions. I haven’t done this yet because I want to use commercially available material sizes, not just converted standard/imperial dimensions. If you could provide me the dimensions for commercially available metric building materials equivalent for: 2x4’s, 3/4 inch plywood, 1/2 in plywood, and 1/4” polycarbonate, I can redo the plans. I’ll send you a free copy of the metric version for your help when I get it finished!
      You can send me a private message on Etsy to discuss further if you’d like.

    Great video and great build. I just purchased the plans; however, I will have to modify the build for the Onefinity Journeyman (probably add 10 or so inches vertically). The plans indicate the front draw is for a 5 gallon chip separator. Can you share what you are using for the actual dust collection and where is it located?

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  Рік тому

      Hey John,
      Thank you for your purchase and your support. I hope you are happy with the quality of the plans! I absolutely love my CNC enclosure and have received a lot of positive feedback on the resultant builds. I use a Festool CT15 dust extractor and a 5 gallon bucket with a thien baffle for a chip separator. Both of these fit in the “dust collection drawer” (side by side) which is really convenient. Originally I planned for the dust extractor to sit behind the drawer bank in the back of the enclosure (which would definitely work), but was pleasantly surprised by the Festool form factor.
      I figured the chip separator would be emptied most often and would be best in the drawer for ease of access. I planned to remote start the dust extractor for use (if it was behind the drawer bank) and would take the drawer out of the enclosure to empty the dust extractor when necessary.
      I hope that answers your questions!
      Hunter

      Thanks! I don’t have a VFD spindle yet, so I don’t have a large control box to store. The Shapeoko has controller that mounts to one of the side rails, and I use a BitRunner that mounts to the other side rail. These are within the footprint of the machine and easily fit inside the enclosure.
      The top is very effective at reducing noice. I have a video “Special Forces Detachment Logo” where I run a decibel meter and demonstrate the sound reduction.

      I actually created the cutting diagrams manually. I designed everything parametrically, so I just outlined the pieces inside a 4x8 sheet of plywood with their respective variables and made them fit.
      Now that I know a little more about Fusion360, you could nest the components in the manufacturing workspace.

      Hey! Thanks, I’m glad someone gets my jokes lol. It reduces the noise a lot.

It makes a big difference being in the shop - mostly reduces the high pitched whine from the router and the peak decibels when slot cutting hardwood.

      I also have the bit runner and bit zero. I like having the router/spindle turn off when the job is complete. The bit zero is just too handy not to have. I use a Festool CT15 as a dust extractor. I run it every time I use the enclosure. The Festool is quite as is, but inside the enclosure it is almost silent.

    Can you please share more details or a picture of how you made the front door with the T track and wooden dowel. Did you have a stop on the end to prevent the Front door from coming out of the track? Also, do you have a source of the AFO fire suppression? Thank you

    • @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw
      @EngineeringWorkshop_hvw  2 роки тому

      Hey Michael, I have complete plans available on my Etsy store if the following description doesn’t fully answer your question.
      I build the front door with half-lap joinery, just making a rectangle to mount the polycarbonate into. I drilled a hole in the outside corner to fit a dowel. This dowel is sized to fit into your t-track. It’s important to use a cylindrical prism, rather than another shape, because once the dowel is glued to the door, it needs to rotate (door opening) and slide along the t-track. To prevent the door from sliding out the front, I glued “edge banding” (a .25” thick and .75” wide strip of oak) onto the edge of the plywood. This covered the exposed end of the t-track embedded in a dado in the sliding enclosure sides.
      I’ll provide a link to the AFO ball in the description. I bought it off Amazon.
      I hope this helps!

      Hey, I added a link to a fire suppression product in the description. Apparently the fire suppression ball isn’t available anymore, so I linked an automatic fire suppression tube. The tube is heat activated, rather than flame activated, which is a superior solution.
      Also, that’s the first time I’ve heard of a barrister hinge lol. I wish I would have know that so I could have better articulated the design in the video. Oh well, thanks for teaching me!

      The first link is the blue rocker switches on Amazon. They are automotive switches, but they work well. If you wire power to them, they will light up when on.
      The second link is for the emergency stop switch.
      I don’t have a wiring diagram for the switches. I watched a bunch of UA-cam videos to learn how to do it, and was definitely not confident that it was going to work. I was shocked that it worked the first time. I’m sorry I can’t be more help; I wouldn’t even know how to draw you a proper wiring diagram without more self study.
