New MPCNC for 2020! - Primo -

After attaching the core clamps not all bearings make contact. :frowning: The parts all fit exactly, all the bearings etc. fit in just fine. What did I do wrong? :frowning:

/edit: It is maybe 0.2mm off.

Thanks for the sizes guys. Looks like even at 20mm it is a bit small, sorry Dan.

Please start another thread, tell us what size you are working on, and where you got your printed parts, rail dimensions ect.

Well, in your defense Ryan, the use of impact sockets isn’t required nor recommended in this application.

At this point, it seems like we could be really close, but that’s only because Ryan is giving us a glimpse at how the sausage is made. Another month or more is not out of the question. Right now, the latest version of a conduit MPCNC is the Burly and it will be for the near future.

Just found a lot of tips in another thread, thanks.

Ah, I guess I should build a burly for now😃 thanks

You are in a strange place right now. Neither Primo nor Burly currently have a kit in the store. There is only the Burly to Primo upgrade kit. If you plan to upgrade to Primo at a later date, this upgrade cost would cover doing a middle size Primo with 1" SS now. And I am much happier with the SS in my Primo rather than the conduit in my Burly.

I don’t think you’d be mad with a burly. Just know, I don’t have any insight other than what I read here. So don’t be mad if it does come sooner. Just try to enjoy the burly for a while.

I could never be mad at you😀

Ehh, those will print fine! Wait till you have to print the core!

How is the Any i3 Mega working with direct extruder?

So far not bad, haven’t really printed anything but test prints yet.i bought the printer so I could print my cnc, first printer for me

I expect ghosting to be more present due to added mass to the print head.

Probably won’t notice the ghosting under a nice layer of dust…

In my shop the dust accumulated on the parts while they are still printing

PLA is bio-degradable, and in my experience more flexible than PETG, when printed with proper shell and infill settings.

PETG is more flexible than PLA and PLA+.
