Hi to all.
I'm trying to build a stronger version of the cyclone.
only from the printed parts and screw rods.
it should be flexible solutions.
axis x 8 or 10 mm rods
axis Y 8 , 10 or 12 mm rods
variable dimensions axis x and z
možnost složit jako portál nebo sloupové cnc
construction of 8 mm and 4 mm threaded rod

files will not be for some time. yet there will be a lot of changes.
something I had printed out. Test it yet.

Thank you. see if you have anyone interested to help me. I can send you some parts for test printing. It's a bit difficult to press time. :-( If you have any ideas for improvement I'll be happy.

Hi Martin,
Very interesting development!
You abandoned the openscad designs?
I only see stl-files, which are more or less the result of the design.
What is the CAD programme you are using?

By the way, I was changing your earlier design for frameleft and frameright in order to let them hold my optical endstops in the rectangluar slot just below the axes.
I was able to do this in Sketchup (improting the STL) and then enlarging the rectangluar hole a few mils.
But because this is performed in Sketchup, i am not exactly sure anymore whether left and right are symmetrical. (that is why i like openscad).

I have a suggestion looking at the designs:
The Xcarriage-left and right have only one attachment for the Z-axes. (at the top)
My addition would be to have a attachment hole in the bottomside to fixate the Z-axes also at the bottom side.

Maybe I can try to redo them myself in Openscad based on the stl's I can give it a try. So do not worry to convert to freecad for me. ;)

Hi Martin,
I think it is not possible to make a conversion. I have to check the STL, and complete redesign in openscad.
That way i can make small alterations if I have another spindle diameter, or if i want to make modifications for the endstop integration, etc.

If you concentrate on the mechanical design (sturdyness), I can concentrate on enhancements.

Martin 

Sketches with dimensions are the best to re-do a disign in OpenScad if you can produce them it makes the job much easier.
But if you do not have it you can easily use other programs such as FreeCad or sketchup to get the dimensions of a stl file with the tool "dimension".
Here I have copied your YfrontLeft using sketchup to get the measurments and pass them to OpenScad.

correct Daniel.
I normally use STL in Sketchup to measure.
I was now working on the X carriage center: A good clue to find the the angle between the rods?

It is quite an excercise. i think i settle with Marrtin's stl-files.

Good job Harry . Thank you for your help .
I finished all the parts now is current on googledrive. Now print and test. and completely remake :-).
remains to be resolved integrated y endstop .
yet there are plenty of room for improvement. Changes also savings filament.

As much as I appreciate your work and as much as I cannot wait for it to be running on my own desk, I hope that you don't mind that I wait until you post some videos and results of the first build. It's just a huge amount of plastic and printing time for possible issue.
I assume that there will be changes or do you think that the parts are somewhat finished?

Hi Martin, the attached scad file is the best copy of the xcarriagecenter stl.
Can you check how precise this copy is?

Another question: How did you accomodate for the use of end-stops? (I intend to use optical endstops, so it is sufficient to create a pin)

Hi Tecu . Of course it would be better to wait until proven design. maybe there will be some changes . it is really a large number of parts.simpler structure would be otherwise than from printed parts.

Hi Harry. parts may not be exactly the same. But I have to adjust the rest of the parts that you create. On GDrive is a PDF with dimensions.I do not know if a good idea to use optical sensors. will not be affected by dust? Perhaps it would be better to use this.http://fabber-parts.de/shop/index.php?a=128

Martin,
my experience from testing of GUI2 and probing mechanism shows that while for X and Y the mechanical switches are adequate, the Z axe is more demanding. Good and reliable microswitch can probably provide replicable results, but an optical endstop might be better for this, I think.

there is no need for a precise homening axis Z .after the probing the pcb never make homening operation its no good .

What a definite statement! :)
We are trying to implement a rather complex mechanism to eliminate deviations of Z level (probing) to hit the copper layer of 35 microns correctly. The single Z homing operation is setting the absolute Z level. It is done before probing and before milling. Deviation between these two homings have direct impact on depth of milling.

Jednoduchý postup a bez chyby . udělám homenin pak probing a tím pádem už je Z max jen relativní pozice . až uděláš probing tak na Z home už vůbec nenajíždíš . když mám Zmax třeba 40mm tak už jezdím jen na Z38 a hotovo . samozřejmě nesmíš vypnout elektroniku mezi jednotlivými operacemi .

Máš pravdu, spěchal jsem na oběd, tak jsem to nenapsal celý. Kdyby se celá stupnice Z neopírala o Zmax, ale o nějakou naprobovanou výšku (minimální?, maximální?, průměrnou?) tak by to šlo. Ale to by se ten soft pro probing musel asi dost podstatně přepsat. A dělá na tom jenom Kobus, já mu to jen testuju.

Please try to post in English, as we can't read the translation from our phones :)

As Martin says, after doing XYZ homing and Z probing:
- Auto-homing to endstops should NOT be done
- Electronics should NOT be turned off
This way we ensure the best resolution.

Asi je to podobný (já vidím jenom projevy, jak je to vevniř ví Kobus). Tak jak to teď funguje musí být PCB v záporný výšce (aby naprobovaný hodnoty byly záporný), těžko říct proč. Frézování -0,1 se podle naprobování přepočítá, reálně to teď vychází tak kolem -2.7mm.

Můžeš mi poslat nějakej link na ten gcode controller? Už se Ti podařilo vzřešit ten XY feedrate?

Subject: Re: Portal cyclone

ještě takto nevim jak to řešíte ale já mám pcb zhruba na Z 5mm max je 40 . v gcode jedu frézování na -0,2 to nastavím v pcbtogcode udělám probing a podle toho se přepočítáva pozice Z při frézování takže zhruba kolem 5mm když měním vrták tak mám nastaveno Z30 takze mi to najíždí na cca Z35 ale nikde v gcode nepoužívá homening Z

Máš pravdu, spěchal jsem na oběd, tak jsem to nenapsal celý. Kdyby se celá stupnice Z neopírala o Zmax, ale o nějakou naprobovanou výšku (minimální?, maximální?, průměrnou?) tak by to šlo. Ale to by se ten soft pro probing musel asi dost podstatně přepsat. A dělá na tom jenom Kobus, já mu to jen testuju.

No problem. I just think that you keep out possible future contributors and their contributions. Also keep in mind that brainstormings are often a very important. It's hard for people to share their experiences with you when they do not understand the conversation.

OK, short summary in English:
Martin explains that he does not see the need of precise Z homing (Zmax position) since all the Z scale can be levelled based on precise Z probing. What I can observe now when testing the GUI from Kobus is that obviously it is not intended so, as there are 2 homings - one before and one after probing. Details would have to be explained by Kobus, including how demanding it would be to implement the principle in the software.

Please try to post in English, as we can't read the translation from our phones :)

As Martin says, after doing XYZ homing and Z probing:
- Auto-homing to endstops should NOT be done
- Electronics should NOT be turned off
This way we ensure the best resolution.

Hi Martin,
Ik already bought the optical endstops (in china just €1.50). the advantage is that there is no mechanics involved and i expect them not to jitter. That is what normal switches do. You have to implement a flipflop in order to compensate for the jitter, but still the mechanical switches are less precise. I know that precision is not too relevant, but for the same money we get better results. That's nice isn't it? You are right that if some partical is thrown into the optical switch, the machine will halt. (grbl), However that risk is also present with mechanical switches. In that case the hall-effect's maybe worthwhile. We will see.

So it works. z step 1 mm feedrate 300 . The only problem is the strength of the Y axis. will need to use the two threaded rods. or it may be sufficient to use 10 mm smooth bars. we'll see how it works.

finally done. only complete cabling.
I solved the Y axis. I added support rods. smooth bars I swapped for 10 mm. 
Now everything is really strong.
travel range Y 300 X 220 Z 45
smooth bars Y 500 mm X 430
table 500 x 300

What's the problem with the Y axis? is it the support rods bending?

You may want to have something like this instead

This is just great!!!! I think I'll start to print it asap.
Could you add some PDF so you know where to drill the holes in the base etc? What kind of wood and what thickness did you use?

One more question: I assume that there's no problem in scaling the machine down, right? I think there are no changes beside smaller rods?

Congratulations,
I am about to start printing your design. Looks very robust.
Any advise about % infill for various parts? recommendations for the position of endstops?

Hi all,
This looks great!  Nice job. I was looking for a small CNC mill to do PCB but with enough build area to also cut Formica templates for hot wire cutting of foam wings for home built  RC airplanes.  I also wanted similar hardware, electronics, and software/firmware to RepRap.  This is perfect.  I started printing parts Saturday when the Thingiverse came out and can't wait to post a picture with all the other great builds.

About me: I am from a small town in Idaho USA.  55 years old with kids gone and time now to get back into electronics.  Things have changed a lot.  I started about one year ago with RepRap 3D printing.  I built a modified MendelMax 1.5.  So far I have only printed PLA but I have a spool of ABS and a heated bed so I can do that if necessary.  Right now I am working to start up a maker group at our local library and get the kids involved.  I did a 3D printing and robotics presentation there a couple of weeks ago and it was a full crowd ages 5 to 75. First priority is to get a 3D printer there but I think that it would be possible to add a Cyclone if I built a closed box for it to control dust and noise.  Thank you all for this nice project.  I will try to help spread it further.

Hello, I've finished the mechanical assembly of my Portal Cyclone. Now I have left all the electronics and calibration.
I've used the anti-backslash version of the Z Axis.For now I have installed 8mm rod bars for the Y axis while I'm waiting for a bunch of LM10UU to upgrade it.
I want it to be ready for the next weekend, as here in Leon we have a nice 3D printing expo, and I want to take this machine to the show.


As soon as I have some more progress, I'll show you.
Best Regards.
