Electronics/Motion Parts

Recommended electronics, you have a lot of options. 

Blank tool mount for any other tools you might want to use.

Hardware

Hardware needed.

***  The difference in the size of nuts requires some creative tightening if you don’t use #6’s on a few parts. A small flat head screw driver can usually be wedged in to stop the nuts from rotating if you have an issue.

Or, here are some quick print sleeves, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1904014.

Printed Parts

There are 3 different sets of printed parts C-23.5mm, F-25mm, or J-25.4mm (1in). The measurement is for the Outside Diameter of the conduit/rails/tubing. Please measure your rails before printing. 23.5mm fits 3/4″ EMT conduit in the US. Anywhere else you must physically measure first, some things are sold as Inside Dimension (ID) (conduit), or Outside Dimension (OD) (Tubing). Bummer

Steel hardware store EMT conduit works well and is inexpensive, an upgrade would be .049″ wall thickness stainless steel tubing (or thicker is fine as well). Stainless Steel tubing is more rigid and smooth, but also much more expensive.

Recommended Print Settings; PLA for dimension accuracy (PETG is also good, if your dimensions are verified good), 2 or more perimeters for through hole strength. There are some steep walls so no more than 75% layer height to nozzle diameter, no support should be needed for any part I have designed.

My current full set prints in 91 Hrs.

* =the asterisk stand for part letter (C, J, F) and anything after that is the current revision (Burly, v1, v2)

M = Mirrored parts, either see the build instructions of FAQ’s if you are worried.

Parts

Some links are affiliate links to illustrate the type of part that are not carried in the V1 Engineering store.

Printed Parts

I prefer PLA but PETG can be used, 3 walls, 30-55% infill. Dimensions are a little less critical than the MPCNC. Total print time ≈ 64.5hrs. 1.2Kg of filament.

I recommend minimum .065″ wall thickness stainless steel tubing. (Thicker?)

The parts can be found on Thingiverse.com, HERE 25.4mm OD Rail,  HERE 25mm OD Rail.

*25mm specific parts have a 25 suffix.

Hardware

The hardware sizes here are for using 1/4″ & 1/2″ sheet material as recommended, Bolt/screw lengths sizes match this. If you are using thicker material add the extra thickness to the dimensions.

You should be able to go longer on all bolts screws with no issues.

Cut Parts

1/4″ for the router plate, 1/2″ for the sides, MDF or Baltic Birch. Bolt/screw lengths and sizes match this if you change thicknesses be mindful of this. You should be able to go longer on all bolts screws with no issues.

The part DXF files are saved and should be imported in millimeters, they can be found on Thingiverse.com, HERE 25.4mm OD, HERE 25mm OD.

You can buy them pre-made here!

Spindle Options

Mounting different routers/spindles should just be a matter of changing the center assembly plate. Any thing that fits between the rails (100mm) could work with a little planning. The Dewalt 611 is nice for the price. A lot of us wish we bought the second base to go with it for ease of multi purpose use.
