I know, I felt guilty about it. But it actually works really well with a large surface area and close tolerance hole and a low mass widget like the bearing (I used a +0.0010" reamer on the bearing holes). I have done this before on other machines when I had limited space and the bond was not structural. Easier to take apart than a press fit (a heat gun will free it up).
]]>Unfortunately that never got out of the drawing stage:
]]>Don't have much time on it yet. I use them as a tool. I will speed it up and post some pics. I tend to print at 40mm/sec for perimeters. seems to make nice parts that don't take much sanding. There is more to how the ABS lays down than just rigidity.
]]>Wish I had milling machine.
Now that it's all metal, have you tried bumping up the speeds?
]]>Everything machined on my hand-crank 30 year old JET 830 mill and JET 1024 lathe.
Also installed an MK2B bed running off a 24V 15A powersupply. More even bed temp distribution, but still takes 20min to come to temp. Work to do there.
Older mods are an M3 Z axis lead screw, bed front anti-shake brace, a pillow block on the Y-gantry connecting shaft, clear plastic enclosure, typical stuff.
Nice to have at home. It hangs on the wall next to the mill.
Not expecting anyone to wish to replicate this, but I am happy enough with the outcome to share pics.
It worked fine before. But I could ... so I did.
