Seitz333's CRP2448 Build

[Seitz333]

Hi All,

I have been lurking on the forum for over 2 years and finally decided to build myself a home cnc router. I went with cncrouterparts crp2448 kit. This weekend I put the majority of it together and hopefully this week the rest of my parts will arrive so I can finish the build next weekend.

I built the machine purely for hobby, I hope to build a few electric guitars and I have some other projects I want to do. I'm sure I will have many questions.

Here is what I used and where I bought it from:

Machine Base: www.cncrouterparts.com crp2448
Router: www.Ugracnc.com 80mm 2.2kw water cooled spindle
Electronics: www.cncrouterparts Nema 23 3/8" shaft
Cooling System: www.Ugracnc.com
VFD Drive: www.precision-elec.com Lenze AC Tech ESV222N02YXB

Software:

BobCAD V24
Mach3

Comments questions or suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

Chuck

That looks good Chuck. Is that a full torsion box under the 80/20 frame ?

Yes it is, I built the table using 4x4's & 2x4's - and a 3' 0" x 6' 8" Birch solid core door. Then I put the torsion box on top of the door. Cant wait to get it running.

Small update, today I connected the power supply to the motors and Gecko G540 drive and the E-stop. All worked like it is supposed to, now waiting for my VFD drive to arrive this week and get it configured. Then it will be getting Mach 3 configured and BobCAD.

I have made a lot of progress in last few weeks here are some update pics. I have to throw out a huge thanks for Ahren at CNCRP for his help and GREAT customer service. I have not had any problems so far but this being my first build I have had several question and he has been a great help.

Installed the cable track kit from cncrp


Instead of attaching the one end to the end of the Y gantry I attached it to the motor mount plate.


I added an additonal tray to hold the water cooled system. You can also see in the background I installed the VFD Drive, and connected the spindle.



I added 3 support brackets under the Y axis cable track tray and the coolant system tray.


I'm hoping to finish this weekend! Next up is installing the T-Track for the table clamping system, then make some touch plates, install the home switches, finish configuring Mach3, then start calibrating.

Still looking great
I can recommend the 2010 screen set for mach 3, it has nice functions for using touch plate for zeroing z axis etc, it was one of the best upgrades I installed on my machine. (I have no affiliation, just happy customer) .

Looking forward to seeing your first cut and videos, we all love watching them moving about under their own control.

Cheers Rob

Thanks Rob, I'll take a look at the 2010 screen set.

Just finished installing the T-tracks for clamping.

Rob, FYI I bought the 2010 Screenset, I plan to try it out later tonight. I mainly bought it for the touch plate zeroing.
