Lowrider 3 in Bayern

I took german in school and I can read the posts :stuck_out_tongue: However, the information on this forum is great and more accessible in English.

What does he hope to accomplish with the 5 DM542T?

More power, smoother movement. I’d have chosen them as well now but my TB6600 work. :smiley:

Unfortunately, the Nano-Estlcam-Shield only supports 3 plug-on DRV8825. As the Z-axis of the Lowrider V3 is heavier than that of the MPCNC, I had problems operating the 2 Z-motors in parallel on one DRV8825. So I had to choose between external drivers or a new controller for the Lowrider V3

Thanks for your design for the AMB FME 1050 Philipp, I hope I can test it soon and do the first milling with the Lowrider 3. So far it has only been enough for dry runs

Heh, I was faster than you using mine then. :stuck_out_tongue:

You can leave the supports btw. Prusaslicer does complain about overhangs, but they are easily printable. All of Ryan’s models print without support and this is basically his. :slight_smile:

Today I milled with the Lowrider V3 for the first time. Everything works better than I expected, but watch the video for yourself.
At the end of the video is the test crown.

Thanks Philipp for the help and Ryan for the great design, the build was a lot of fun!

Man, it’s flying! How fast is it?
I would make the acceleration curve a bit longer though so the table does not shudder… :smiley: I guess you have it at 20mm or something like that?
Oh, and if you don’t mind, post the make on Printables (Printables). :smiley:

Yes, this is a bit too fast, especially on the Y-axis due to the high moving mass. The acceleration path is 6mm and the travel speed is 15000mm/min (250mm/sec).
The crown is drawn at 6000mm/min.

As long as it works… :slight_smile: I need to pump up my numbers again as well I guess. :smiley:

The first project is milled, a sign for a beekeeper friend.


Then I bought a vacuum pump for a planned vacuum plate. 40m³/h should be more than enough

You are going to mix up some black resin to fill that knife cutout, right? Or are you going to try for an inlay?

The knife was just a test object to see if such fine things could be milled. However, another knife is to be made, which will then be filled with resin.

I picked up my vacuum pump today. Spontaneously I bought a vacuum plate and got some 5083 finely milled aluminum as a gift.
