Description
Micro-lathe, great for dremel
Also added a rail slider system to mount this to, idea is to screw the main part to a piece of wood, etc., and the slider piece moves in and out for mounting lathe pieces of varying lengths... This slider system is only compatible with the new wider and reinforced blocks here, and not the original parts
Also upgraded tool and bearing fixtures to fit better in bearings without risk of sliding around (depth-wise).
All the nut holes have also been enlarged to fit #4-40 nuts & bolts because my local hardware store doesn't have M3. For the slide locks and lathe mount block screw-in piece holders I used #6-32 1/2" bolts
Changes from original design (only changed parts shown, all other original parts are still compatible):
How I'm using:
Next up/still to do:
Absolutely no warping with ABS using standard "fast" settings in Simplify3D: Extruder at 230C, heated bed at 110C, 30% infill, standard raft, 0.2MM layer height, 3600mm/min
The only piece that you need to print with supports is the main_rails piece
