thanks Sergio |
These are not from him, I got these from Leitz tooling USA outlet store on ebay. 5 for 55$, original price was 105$ each. I can't find the store any more it looks like they closed their acc, you can look at here for onsrud outlet they also have nice prices and always something new, just be sure to look every now and then and you will get the superb price on compression spirals
http://stores.ebay.com/LMT-Onsrud-Ro...its-and-Blades All other bits I use are from carbidechiu and I order them directly from him. Ball and ordinary endmills all work great and are quality stuff. Forgot to add, I found a local source for nice compression bits 8mm, great for plywood cut at once. They are about 30eur a piece. |
Thank you Danilo
|
Nice Job! I like you hold down system too.
Cheers! Tim #79 |
And now for something completely different !
Vlada and I made molds for our local bus manufacturer, the chassis is from Mercedes and all plastic parts were made by two of us. Dashboard, led display arch above entrance and fender edge (I think) by Vlada, drivers cabin and all back seat surrounding by me. Enjoy! Here is a video of routing Necuron and MDF molds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ0nCgBZRZ8 The bus was shown at the fair and we got some pictures from there too http://cnc.rs/mechmate/bus/IMG_2910%20(Medium).JPG http://cnc.rs/mechmate/bus/IMG_2911%20(Medium).JPG http://cnc.rs/mechmate/bus/IMG_2912%20(Medium).JPG http://cnc.rs/mechmate/bus/IMG_2915%20(Medium).JPG http://cnc.rs/mechmate/bus/IMG_2921%20(Medium).JPG http://cnc.rs/mechmate/bus/IMG_2922%20(Medium).JPG |
And here are some images while the stuff was still on the Mechmate

Very cool. Is this for a prototype of the bus or is it in actual use?
|
Cool job, did you seal the mdf before you cut it !? I heard you can get great mold surface quality, when you impregnate the rough mould with resin, before the final cut is done. The resin will soak into the mdf quite deep, so your final surface quality is great...
|
We just cut it and then the molding guys did the rest of magic :)
the cabin mold you see was made of necuron, polyurethane board pretty nice stuff, machines like a dream but static electricity get's it everywhere Its an actual bus meant for production run (250pcs /year) |
I propose Danilo Mechmater of the year !!! :-)
|
:) Vlada was in worst position we made him the gcode and he was running machine blind not even knowing how the parts look like, except on mach preview screen :)
Programming was all done in RhinoCAM, for this type of work its irreplaceable. |
Excellent work, congrats to you guys!
|
Very impressive.
|
Wow. Incredible stuff.
|
Very Nice! :)
|
I do enjoy your posts. Thank you.
|
Congratulations guys. Excellent work.
Do you have to make more moulds for the company? |
That IS pretty cool, congrats on the job. Did they come to you or did you go out selling your services?
|
Jason : it will be difficult to sell this model, but if they design a new one well get more moulds :)
Bruce: Primary customers come trough our website, one thing I learned is that if you don't like to walk a lot put up a nice website (use wordpress), optimize the keywords and voila ! Each year I double the number of visitors, first year 10, next 20 and now on an average day 30 unique visitors. (google analytics) |
Nice work.
|
Danilo, I am planning to build a MechMate in Hungary. May I ask you where did you order the laser cut and bent parts?
Many thanks! |
Being from Hungary you will be better finding a laser or waterjet cutter near you to do the job then shipping heavy parcel.
And if you have a question about lasercut parts there is a thread just for that, no need to post in all european threads :) |
Thanks for the quick reply! Actually, I posted first in a more general thread, where I received the advice to post on the threads of European builders. :-)
Can you perhaps send me the DXF files for the laser cut and bent parts so that I can contact a local company with them? |
I think they come with the plans you buy to build the mechmate, ask Mike he is the owner (metalhead username on the forum)
|
I did buy the plans two days ago, but these are only the PDF files. I also asked Mike for the dxf file but haven't received an answer yet. So that I wasn't sure how others ordered their laser cut parts and started to ask around.

Sometimes Mike is away for a few days with his Day Job.
I'm sure he'll pop in and take care of you. |
Just a teaser
http://cnc.rs/mechmate/zaxis%20(Small).jpg 1610 ballscrew 20mm round rails spindle mount With Am882 drives I get more than 1600 RPM on the shaft so 16.000mm/min rapid on Z axis , up or down makes no difference. The aluminium block, bearings and spindle seem too light to back drive and drop, so the Z axis stays in place without any help. |
Looks well made. I am curious of the position of the spindle in the mount and how you get the 200mm of travel and still have clearances.
|
I got full 200mm clearance with the longest endmill (100mm or more) and still able to touch the spoilboard with the tip of the spindle.
|
I don't doubt it. Just the teaser pic have me thinking.
|
Looks very good Danilo, enough teasing, lets see it installed!
|
Heck, just a video of it running on the bench would be awesome.
|
I would mount your spindle on the other side ( the long slide).
|
I'm just wondering. What stepper motor brand are you using?? 1600rpm on the shaft sounds like a lot.
|
The stepper driver he is using is a good one.
Lots of digital tricks inside. Ross |
I know, I'm running the same drives on my CNC. But I'm having trouble getting much more than 600rpm from my motors without sensorless stall detection kicking in on my drives.
|
I have run an AMCI stepper with a Gecko drive controlled by an Oriental Motor controller at 50 rev/sec. It all depends on the hardware and that is within the spec of the particular stepper.
|
Statements like that are meaningless as whatever you have set your microstepping to significantly impacts that performance.
Ross |
Also weight and friction of your set up impacts on performance.
There is just not enough to go on to make any comparison. Ross |
