Dude! You have some seriously CAD/CAM skill to be able to design such a nicely-engineered machine with all those 3D printer parts. It's not terribly difficult to draw up plans for your own manual milling/drilling work to build such a machine up by hand out of plastic/aluminum, but it takes real talent to draw up complex shapes that all align with each other to house the steel rods and screws as well as allowing room for cables/etc. for all the 3D-printed pieces. Well done!
that tool head dust collection system is freaking genius!! I have never seen anything like it. Gives an amazing view of the tool bit when it's in operation
well it will only works on this tiny machine... the machine is just so slow that this dust collection works. If you do this open view on bigger machines tehre are chips flying in every direction.
@@GrandeCalle I think thats why it's a smart move. I've seen some of his other bigger designs and they have a different way of dust collection. Which probably means he thought about it (maybe).
Did I just go through an entire episode without hearing you say “spacers”? The mini cnc machine looks and works really well. You member fail to inspire and amaze!
You should totally sell this as a kit! I would *love* to build one of these, but I don't have the miter saw, taps, or other capabilities to machine the metal in the first place
@@jothain ...yes... but trying to get multiple parts exactly the same length and with dead square ends using hand tools doesn't sound like fun at all. Doable, I'm sure, but painful.
great to see you Ivan! another fantastic project that looks really well done. i've designed a few much more 'overbuilt' CNCs myself and every one of your machines amazes me with what it can do.
The press-fit metal bits that are too snug can be put in the freezer for a bit, they will shrink slightly - which is sometimes enough to get an easier fit.
It would be awesome to see some real world performace tests: what accuracy and movement speed the machine can achieve and what types of metal it can cut!
I'm no expert, but from how much the frame seemed to flex at 12:08, I can't imagine It'll get amazing precision or repeatability... still an impressive build though edit: wording

Moin, 3:41 You can press the bearings in wonderfully with a one-handed clamp. Wooden dowels can also be pressed in silently with a one-handed clamp if you have noise-sensitive neighbors. Thank you very much for your Video! 🤗
Whaou je suis émerveillée par le potentiel de certaines personnes. Si je peux me servir des machines, je ne pourrais jamais en fabriquer une. Cela nécessite trop de compétences dans plusieurs domaines. Bravo !!!!
Great work! It cut the aluminum without any noticeable vibration. I figured there would be a lot of play in a 3D printed CNC machine, but this seemed to work like a champ.
I cant beleive that a home made cnc machine can look and perform so good. Your souch a clever person. Wish i could buy it as a kit ! what if you made another type shroud around the cutter instaed of an extraction you could swap it for one with some tubes inside to allow a coolant system for when doing metal parts to help keep the cutter from clogging up, as your a genius I hope you understand :)
The time you put into these projects and how well they are filmed and edited makes you truly one of the best youtube channels. You deserve WAY more subscribers. I hope they are on their way!
I made a CNC out of a defunct CR-10. And with ... what i'd call minimal mods to the frame (so not motor, cutter, etc), split into two major categories: necessary: double bottom rail mod, stiffener mod and double Z motor mod not necessary but makes things better: a stiffener placed on the bottom frame, diagonally on either two corners, enclosure, cable extensions so the brains don't suck up dust. Sidenote: the base needs to be modded in a specific way, that is you need to remove the springs and heater plate, and replace it with a piece of thick HDF (not MDF). The topping should be a 4 mm alu plate, that needs to be trued up to the cut. That said, this will never be a fast CNC, but for small, slow, detailed cuts, it's more than enough.
That's a decent surface for 1 pass. You should add a .1mm contour offset, copy and paste the procedure, remove the offset on the second and then run both. Yes it will take twice as long but you'll get a higher quality part.
I know that you'd probably never need one for yourself, but if you designed a cnc hotwire foam cutter with mostly printed parts that could be built on a budget, I'd buy that in an instant. Great job on this one too!
Token comment for the algorithm- thanks for the CNC plans guy! I’ve been wanting a Onefinity CNC, but it’s a bit slightly out of my price range… this however: may be a different story… and if it can cut aluminum: that’s perfect because that’s all I need one for!
If you elevate your metal block you're working on with some washers or something then it'll allow the machine to cut through and better and make grinding down less necessary
Awesome build, surpised to see all 3d printed parts work for a metal cnc. Do you have a build video of the big cnc machine folding table you showed at the beginning. That is one nice table build, very useful for a garage shop. Thanks.
Como siempre increíble! Pero esa forma de meter los rodamientos me ha hecho llorar, ponles siempre una arandela que apoye en el exterior para atornillarlos 🥲
Wait, Ivan made something small? At least it's still red. 😁 Looks like a nice solution for when you don't need parts that are huge. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice machine, if I see all the 3D printed parts, it took a lot of engineering time and printing time. But the result is fine. You can sell it as a DIY kit, same as the MPCNC.
Hello Ivan, I would love to see a project for a cnc hot wire machine. With all your knowledge and experience, I think it would be a very interesting project.
Aw man I should really make something like this... We are in the middle of buying our house with my wife and kid - but I ended up with a 9m^2 room just for me. But I doubt I'll have place for one of these :C I already have a 2 3d printers (will build a voron after we move in, so I'll have 3), I also have a K40 and I need dedicated space for painting. But I'd just love to indulge myself in the making of a CNC - it would be such a lovely tool to have :O
I'm not sure what you're using for dust collection at the vacuum side right now, but I can recommend looking at the YT channel rctestflight since that person made a 3d printed dust collector, and tried several different designs.
Awesome as always Ivan! 👊 I designed and build a similar sized machine, but I used T8 lead screws instead of belts - eliminating backlash was a nightmare! I wish I’d gone with timing belts like yours 👍
The tricks to eliminating backlash in leadscrews are you use spring-loaded nuts or to use multiple nuts to simultaneously engage both sides of the thread profile; and to support the screw along the length (really hard to find the necessary parts for this as a consumer). Using the right styles of coupler and bearings also helps. Timing belts are easier about that with light loads in the short run, but too much weight or tension or too many high momentum morons (especially reversals) will quickly stretch them out of spec, and they ALWAYS stretch eventually. Always pros and cons.
@@claws61821 Absolutely 👍 I added two regular T8 nuts per screw, but used custom TPU pads as springs on each to make them less compressible. That way, I tighten the screws on the nut flanges to compress the pads and remove backlash - works really well, but I’ve always felt like belts would have been less hassle 😅

True. That's the cleverest bit of engineering I've seen in a while!
You need to dive deeper into mechanical engineering if that's enough to impress you lol

Beautiful metal part! I really like the vacuum system. This looks like an ideal CNC for a budget workshop or student who does not have a ton of space.
Or a metal fabricator working out of a small garage. I will definitely want to try it.

Even if no flex, not possible, those linear bearings cannot hold 0.1mm tolerance and will get worse overtime.

I'm impressed by this little CNC. Great work
If I keep making CNC machines "i have a problem", Ivan makes them it's great work ;)
Alu profiles that make up base frame are worth more than my whole 3D printer :D One day I will remake it in proper manner, like yours!

That's really cool. I have a CR-10S about 2 feet away printing right now :)
Probably your best design yet - so clean. I think this is the project I've never knew I needed.
Also, did the 600€ guideline include the cost of the router?
Your new machine not only works, it is beautiful. Nice job.
How are you not at a 1 million subs yet? Every single video you make show case your genius design, very inspiring!
That's a decent surface for 1 pass. You should add a .1mm contour offset, copy and paste the procedure, remove the offset on the second and then run both. Yes it will take twice as long but you'll get a higher quality part.
11:19 I had a momentary shiver when the wheel wobbled. I think my job is getting to me.
You should only press bearings on the outer race, never the inner race like that.
Love the integrated vacuum design.
Very nice build! I'd like to recommend smoothing out the angle at the dust extraction. That 90° is going to cost a lot of suction power.
Great build - and OMG I actually enjoyed the background music, and I can't say that very often when it comes to UA-cam videos. :D
I love this guys optimism
That's actually VERY good aluminum cutting with what looks and sounds like no noticeable amounts of chatter.
Bro tienes acento de inglés español total. Qué grandes proyectos haces.
i like the dust collection. Nice fresh solution.
Such elegant design. You thought of everything!
you are a genius dude, I'm ashamed to call myself Mech Eng. when I see your hard work. Hope I become as good as you one day ♥.

Love your vacuum duct 👍😍
Great stuff Ivan I could play with the things you make all day long putting them together is my idea of relaxing
Absolutely brilliant!!! I need to add this to my collection now!! Thanks for all your hard work on this.
Wow.... I can't call it a diy project, its on industrial level well done
I enjoyed the editing and music a lot on this one Ivan. You really broke the funk out.

that's a really clever idea to use the filament as a cable guide!
That's in fact not filament per se but 3mm nylon fish tape, the same used by electricians to pass wires through conduits.
