Next Gen CNC // Matilda CNC // DIY CNC

It's great to have a study welded table frame but how can you disassemble it to pass though doorways and hallways to another room huh? Prefers it be bolt assemble type

What software did you use to design the gantry riser plates and what file format did you use to upload to pcbway?

Waiting for the next video greetings from Poland!

Gorgeous machine, good luck 🎉

This is one of my favorite YT channels. You create some stunning CNC. Also your way of covering your garage with black fabric for filming makes you stand out in a positive way to others.

Consider rearranging the structure of your X - placing the heavier-duty extrusion in the middle means it is the least effective. If you believe the majority of the force will be downwards due to the weight of the spindle and Z assembly, place it at the top. If you believe it will be upwards as in drilling, place it at the bottom.

Also, it would have been better to have the flat parts of the C facing the very top and the very bottom, but I'm not sure you can still change your design.

Nice work

Any more on this series?

Just came across your channel and happy to see the high quality content! You seem to be very skilled and creative and I am very impressed by your builds! A little bit too much form over function, a little bit too much science fiction TV-series look to your builds for my taste though. In both the builds and the filming / lighting. I'm very practical and pragmatic and anything which is just shaped some way for looks really doesn't cut it for me, but thats just me ;) . Though the creative skills and craft needed to make your stuff look like this are impressive too! I couldn't do it, even if I wanted. Neither the builds, nor the filming! :)

I love this design. I can't wait for more videos! And plans!

Matilda..Thats a great name for a CNC

Looks great, nice to see another Aussie building CNC machines.

Subbed, love this kinda stuff!!

Ça donne envie !!!

it looks incredible! nice work. keep it up :D

Very Nice work ,amazing !!! 😊😊
Thanks to take time, to share your progress 🤯🤯
I wait the next épisode

Another great video as ever. Well explained through the design process and it's easier to outsource machining to the experts when you don't quite have the time or capabilities yet. Look forward to the nex episode!😁👌

Amazing design!

No worries, my friend, building a CNC router can be trickier than trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I can see that you've made some engineering missteps, but let's turn those into learning opportunities, shall we? First of all, those angled legs and long diagonal braces are more trouble than they're worth. You want stiffness, not piece of contemporary architecture. The good idea is to stick with smaller braces and connect them at the third of a rail to a third of a stile - it'll save you material and give you a stronger structure. Oh, and don't forget to support the center of the table as dynamic load applies also there - it's like giving your CNC a hug.

Now, let's talk rails. Those MGN rails are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. They can't handle dynamic loads and will wear out faster than your running shoes. You were well inspired to use HGH rails instead, but stick to a couple per axis - aligning four of them is like trying to herd cats. Trust me, the pros don't do it, so neither should you. And speaking of the pros, they use online calculators to determine the right rail size for each axis - it's like a math equation, but with less homework.

About 6061 aluminum, milling it dry is like trying to shave with a dull razor. Especially with a WorkBee. You'd rather to choose 7575 which is more forgiving and lube up the path like you're applying sunscreen at the beach - it'll make a world of difference. And while stacking C-beams may seem like a good idea, it's like wearing ten belts at once - it might keep your pants up, but it's not exactly the best to do. But I understand aluminium profiles, brackets and T-nuts makes things sounds easier, and you had some collecting dust on the shelf.

But hey, don't beat yourself up too much - Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was a CNC router. Your new machine is definitely a huge upgrade from the WorkBee, so enjoy the fruits of your labor and keep on creating! ;)

Looking forward to the rest of this build series

Looks amazing. Kudos to you for designing this stunning CNC. Love the Z height clearance already!!! Best of luck with the remainder of your build.

Looks 👍👍👍👍👍😊 i want to redo my cnc to see if i can make it works on its side, icould compromise some speed in favor of gaining shop space.
