Re: Here we go again . . . MK4
OK, here is Episode 8 (part 1). This one is for the upper cover plates on the main housing of the Y axis. Caused some problems along the way as I don't have the proper tools for sheet metal work but got there in the end.

Its one of those days when you think you know a little about building stuff, then you watch this video!!!
That has to be the biggest DIY mill head i have ever seen, its a work of art in aluminium. Four rails? Wiper seals? Covered screws?
This thing could be made at the Rolls Royce factory :)
It really does need an ATC spindle in there though, collets & spanners are old-school :)
Nice work.

Yes would love to do the ATC spindle but need to finish this thing first! I added footage of me changing tools and tightening the collet because 'Jogara' had a post on tools slipping on the ER collet. I hoped to show you only need to hand nip these things.
The wipers were Zeeflyboys idea and design but I was so impressed I had to fit them to my machine.

Stunning as usual. What is the make of the 3 D printer as it is lightening fast, I want one:joker:

Cheers Clive !
It's a magic hybrid printer - an Epson Stylus Office BX635FWD with a Premier Elements 15 app . . . . :joker:
