New Machine Build- Mobile Mill To Go

[Harpye]

1 week ago I started to setup a new project :

Target spec ist to create a fully capable 3D router with maximum working area possible in respect to the following restrictions:

Weight - below 30 KG - Airfreight compatible!

Same cutting power as my big machine with appr. 200 KG

Capable to cut aluminium plastics and other prototyping materials

Fast assembly and disassembly like a killer gun

Dimensions in disassembled state to fit in a pilot case or similar transportation and protection casing

And so I went on ...

Machine frame is made from fine planned aluminium
equiped with modified professional linear tec
motors will be stepper motors and Spindle will be a 700W to 1KW high speed AC spindle

This looks like a fun project !

sooo...how bout that business model?? lol.. jk.

[Harpye]

Nope .. Its just a coarse idea but before talking about it I will have to prove it ... ( until that point is established I just invest in the long term activities and low material costs... the plained aluminum for the frame is about 200 the additional effort lateron is 2.5 thousand... so I keep that secret at the moment..

the BC that was one of the first questions in the German forum without placing the first remark ...( but I should have learned .... reversible psychology works )

Now I got a bit further - Nut and bearing blocks are cut and lightened

and today I decided to get into the fixation elements for the loose side block

including the "O" for the inductive reference switches...

Cool machine.

Hope it will be ... Did the endplates for the x Axis today ... now its ready for the linear tech ... but the others are still missing!!!

Brilliant idea; exquisite engineering; stunning execution.

I like the lightening technique and workmanship quality on your plates. When finished, these machines will be functioning, crafted works of art. Real nice work

[Harpye]

Thank you guys for that comments - I really try to get this single piece done to a certain level of satisfaction for me .... I 'll do this one once and try to get it done as good as I can!!!

Here is a little bit of finishing work ( fine plain Alumium is not available in thicknesses below 10mm so I tried to give my 5mm normal plate a shiny look

In Swizerland they would call it " Genfer Streifenschliff"
