And later???

Hey, Mark, where do I find the updated MiniMill video (wiring and touch probe)?

 

Thanks! Found it.

 

What's the minimum amps required from a 24V power supply to run the mini mill with the hi torque nema 23 motors?

 

Where did you buy this vise?

 

Is it possible to have this machine with worksize 200x200mm or 250x200mm?

 

It's only limited by your imagination. You can find other threads here of people who have customized their mini mills. Probably one of the most popular is Scotty Orr's mini mill XL conversion. It gives you a work area much larger than the stock mini mill. MMXL - A MiniMill Conversion

 

Thanks

EDIT:
just checked the link..it will be too much work...since my skills are rather low haha
ANyway..but it must be possible just to extend X and Y axis a bit?
In my head I just need to get longer 8mm Metric lead screws and C-Beam Rails. All other parts will fit Extends this by a inch or 2 then it will cover my needs

is this correct ? or I am way off ? TIA

 

Thanks for the informative feedback

 

We tested my build, and found that the Z axis was not engaging the limit switch in time to prevent crashing. The solution was to attach a little pad of neoprene to the bracket, nice and clean, and that it that. It's my seventh machine build, the first six being some cranky and delicate robot arms. This was more fun, for sure.

 

Was just wondering, is it possible to use a smaller Z-plate to win some machining height? Perhaps something with wheels on the in- and outside to increase stiffness?

 

I've decided to add a Cbeam XL gantry plate Now for ordering and finishing up. I saw they're used on the LEAD, C-Beam,... machines, so it would seem to be stiff enough. Should also give me some more Z-working height without greatly reducing stiffness of the column

 

Whilst building the minimill (or rather the enclosure it's going to sit in) after I've mounted the mill to a thick steel slab, I noticed one wheel on the Y-gantry plate seems out of allignment causing the whole X-axis to wobble about 0.5mm. Anyone know any (quick) solution for this? Not yet looking to get into linear rails as I'd like to cut the plates for them myself

 

Hello,

Just wondering what happened to the firmware settings list for the minimill?

It used to be posted on the product page.....

Any help would be great.

Please help,

Matthew

 

It's still there under the "Spoiler: Standard Settings and Misc" button

 

Ok, thanks, hadn't gotten that far yet, I was planning on using Repetier firmware because I already have several ramps boards and I'm using as a 3dprinter. I'll download the app and get the settings. Thanks, Matthew

 

I really need the machines assembly manual. Please help

 

I almost finished my build of MiniMill with few tweaks made by me. Should be a little bit more solid. 0.8kw router with VFD a2. Box with electronic fully designed by me and 3d printed.
