LR4 Karlsruhe - Germany 2m x 1m

Großer Lowrider V4 in der nähe von Karlsruhe

2m X-Achse, 1m Y-Achse
Estelcam mit OpenCNC-2 in separatem Schaltschrank
Energiekette an der X-Achse
Absaugung über Abgehängten Schlauch von der Decke
Angepasster Dust-Shoe für kleineren Schlauchdurchmesser, Spannzangenmutter zugänglich.

Vorher gab es einen LR V3 in der gleichen Größe, mit 1m X-Achse und 2m Y-Achse gebaut, das war aber zum Arbeiten mit meinem Werkstatt-Layout nicht optimal.

Wow, that looks kind of nice. I always thought about doing the dust collection the way you did it. Do you have the files for the “runners” that are on the rails? I’d love to do something like this in the future. :slight_smile:

Looks like a great build! I am also interested in the runners for the hose. Did you draw it yourself? For what OD of pipe?

It’s a remix of these runners:

(As a new member, I guess I’m not allowed to post links yet.)
Printables’ one-piece hangers could get stuck if they were pulled too hard in one direction. That’s why my hangers are twice as wide, with a bearing on each side.
The rubber straps used to secure the hose coils are also important to ensure everything works properly.
I’ve designed them in SolidWorks:#

And can we download the rollers? :sweat_smile:

That’s the one with one bearing though… :sweat_smile:

How is the 2 meter axis working? And what length of hose is good? The link in the docs goes to 10 feet.

I’m glad you like the design. I just published the pieces on Printables.

Nice, thanks so much! And it’s even 25mm! I have those rails left from the LR3. :slight_smile:

Yeah, I´ll print 2 of these tomorrow!

It was exactly the same for me

The long X-axis works very well for me, especially because I can easily reach the table from the front and use it even when I’m not milling. Stability and speed are higher in this configuration than with the Lowrider 3 with a 1-meter X-axis, which I had set up previously.
Regarding the exhaust hose: You have to experiment with the length of the exhaust hose. Adjusting and changing the diameter of the loops had a major impact on functionality for me.
