Great looking machine

Updated Builder's Log
 

That's one beautiful MechMate. Congratulations on completing your build and earning Serial #68.

Here is the Updated Builder's Log.

Please review your entry and let me know any changes you want to make. Also, please let me know the "cutting" demensions of your MechMate for the Builder's Log.

Hi Dmitriy
What iron profile did you use for Y gantry cross member tube (10 20 440 )?

Oleks, i used a pipe 50х100х3 mm. Chose from this that was on sale.

Nice job Dmitriy! Very clean build, excellent wiring job.

Looks like you are making some model airplane ribs:)

Greetings to all!
Thanks for kind words, I are very pleasant :)
However, too early to have a rest. Ahead still it is a lot of work.

And this photo of my first test work:

Those are highly acceptable cuts!

Have fun with your Mechmate!

Greetings to all again.

I continue to study CNC programs and work methods.
Here the first experiment in 3D. Certainly, for finishing processing I used a wrong mill. But I am happy even with such result.

Beautiful work there Dmitriy!

nice! how long did it take?

Nice. Get a 3mm Ballnose bit to do the final cut. Rough out most of the wood with a 6.35mm straight cutter and then final with the 3mm ballnose (round) bit.

Vector art 3D Machinist has told 3 hours and 11 minutes, but it seemed to me faster.

Its about what I guestimated... 3D reliefs really kill time... very difficult to make much money with it... but they sure are beautiful!

I think, in this case we shouldn't sell machine time. Unique custom 3D-product should cost much. For example: the violin of the Stradivari - one in the world and unique, therefore is invaluable. Our work on custom order - one in the world too, such isn't present another, in shop it not to buy. Therefore costs much. So I think :)

Very nice wook Dmitriy! We appreciate you showing your results.

Then this great work of your and others to come should be called “ Dimitriyus” :p

Hi Dmitriy

I have yet to congratulate you on the fine machine you have constructed, so well done.
The quality of the work it is producing is great and I am certainly looking towards your future posts of any new work you might do.

Well done
Ross

Greetings to all.
Yesterday I MM worked on the first commercial order. Here small video of process and a photo.

My spindle isn't controling by program Mach3, therefore on screen Mach3, in a zone "Spindle", I have placed two buttons Z-Zero and X-Y laser zero.
This video shows, how all occurs.

And this video shows that occurs at this time on screen Mach3 program.
Watch for DRO and the mouse cursor :)

Time has come to put in order the remained wires, to make dust-foot and a cyclone, to make a good table together vacuum system.

Ahead the big work :)

Good luck all!

Greetings to all!
Happy New Year! Happiness, love, health and successful building MechMate!

I continue to be improved in processing of different materials on the MM. Here test model dust-foot.
As I plan to make a table of an aluminum tube 100х40х4. Here so, approximately, it will look.

Dmitriy,

Beautiful work...very creative dust foot. Your MechMate is very impressive.:)

Gidday Dmitriy

As usual your standard of work is excellent.
Interesting the way your dust foot collects the dust through a cavity in the foot itself.
It also seems that the rare earth magnets are a must have for ease of access to the cutter in most dust foot designs.

Regards
Ross

Congratulations Dmitriy!

How did you get that laser line? Did you make some improvements to the laser?

Greetings to all.

Today I have finished work on a table. Now my MM has the finished appearance and is completely ready to work.

Bravo! great machine. Molodec!

Well Done Dmitriy! :)
