Welcome aboard! What a nice looking machine too -- you obviously did a bit of planning before settling on the machine in cad1 and photo1.
What are you using for a spindle? Any close ups of the mounting?
TIA :cheers: Jim

the spindle is for industrial (US$2200)

Now that is an interesting design. For sure capiable judging by the cut examples.

Don't think I've seen a Z moving gantry like that yet. That is cool as you never have to worry about part clearence with the gantry. Interesting in any case. But do you get any racking on the Z with that? Looks like you are using nice roller blocks so it's probably quite stable on the right and left sides even though the screw is only in the middle. Wonder how a dual screw would do.



Don't worry about your english (see you are from tiwan) People are going to want details on that spindle..

I'm curious about what your cutting and the process. Looks like you have a liquid tank and are cutting plastic parts. Are you doing some finish sanding to get it as smooth as your pictures show?

Looks like you are making radio control model air plane wings of some sort? is that true?

hopefully not to many questions. But again people I'm sure are going to be focused on that spindle and wanting to know about that.

Thanks for your interesting , but you were right , my English is really not good, so I am afraid that I can not realize your
means.so I take some pictures of my CNC, maybe you can found the answer in the pictures.by the way , my CNC is very
quite stable when all axis moving. use servo motor , 20 mm track(X 4 , Y 2, Z 2 , each track using 2 slider)

A. spindle = cut motor or all system of Z .(I can not realize)
B. the part in the liquid tank is aluminum.(pict 1)
C. yes , when the cnc work ok, I use sanding paper to sanding and car wax
to polish my mold.
D. yes , it is RC glider mold(my hobby, I am working about CAD/CAM)

if you need more picture then tell me , I will take some what you need.:)

So that was making a mold in aluminum for some helicopter wings then?

Were you using a ball nose cuting bit? Curious about your step over (distance between cuts) to get the mold as smooth as it looks..

Some real great work for sure.


So in the first post
picture #3 is a wing mold in progress

Pic 5 is the wing mold (guessing ABS plastic?) after polish..

Pic 6 is the mold with a wing in it?

Some day I would like to learn about making molds and laying carbon fiber things up.

I got a pair of carbon fiber wings for my Picolo micro helicopter from a guy in the UK that were really wonderfull

Hi!
A. yes , it's for my T-rex 450(Heli) 325mm blade. cut step is 0.25mm , then use #400~2000 sanding paper to sanding.

B. pict #3 is in progress , when polish ok then use gel cast to copy.(see mypost 1 RCgroup link)

C. no , there have nothing in the mold.(post 1 , pict #6)

All looks very nice to me :) good job.

Thanks!:)

Wow.. The pictures in the RCgroups post are very cool. I'll need to look at them to learn some about the build process.

I've spent some time in the past building and flying RC models (electric park filers and zagis) but got out of it after having kids.

Mold making is something I really need to try some time with my machine. But is at a level higher then I am at right now over all.

Great post. And very impressive work.

Darn, good lookin' work!!!

Good work Nice machine

thanks all

Hmm... You've done some high quality expansion moulds, do you work with prototyping or something similar?
Not many hobbyist's make such nice looking pieces.

No, It's my first time to make cast mold and first time to build 3m glider, but
I am working about CAD/CAM ( drawing 3D model and make tool path (NC code) to CNC factory or mold factory) 12 years long. :)

why to Build plane by myself , because buy the plane from European must
wait over 6 months and very very expensive . It will be get crazy and when
crash and heart broken.:)

Some(3) of my friends wants me to help them to build CNC machine and teach them how to use
and making mold , so I just design complete right now.

mill range : X 800 , Y 450 , Z 150 mm , step motor x 4 ,
spindle motor : 24V DC brushless 4000RPM , 0.735 N-m . maximum cut tool D13mm
use sand mold method to make CNC aluminum table.

those machines look fantastic.
you could start a business selling them i think.

do you have a link or could you tell us the brand of that spindle your using on those machines. i'd like to look it up.

Thanks!

But the spindle is my design too , you can not find in the market .

If you ever decide to go into the spindle selling business, please let us know, I think you could find a market.

I'm currently looking at the ones on the Kelinginc and homeshopcnc sites.

ok! thanks! but I will test it first!

Finally, every test is good , the video is I tech my friends how to use.

Excellent craftsmenship on your project. How did you make a spindle out of electric airplane motor ?

Great work CJ !!!! Someone asked you earlier about your first bigger cnc machine if you experience and racking or vibration in your z axis?

Sorry about my English , but I really can not realize your means , if you ask
when Z axis move is vibration or stable ? the ansower is " stable ", because
my each side X aixe use two track(I don't know how to say in English,but
