CNC update for mini XY table by Tada3

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is CNC update for mini XY table.
No machining required. It's easy to add and revert to the original configuration.
Since the end-plates were split to two pieces, support is not required.
So, it is easy to print.

Previous link has some problems.
So, all files were moved fromhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4800241
Update 2021/3/21
Uploaded files were not final one.
I am very sorry.
Please use current X-EndPlate1a.stl and X-EndPlate2a.stl.
Other files are OK.

I bought cheap Chinese xy table (6300 SIZE) which is the same withhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/33045403500.html orhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DK8JJ16/
Although it has backlash(maybe ~0.2mm), it is good enough for my DIY purpose.
So, I added stepper motors and the controller to make it work as a CNC machine.
Please see https://youtu.be/URPwg0audJU.
I used MKS DLC V2 (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001418869778.html)
as the control board and TFT35 as the offline controller.
If you do not need to use offline mode, you can also use Arduino Uno + CNC shield.
To use M6 bolt as the clamp, I made small adapter, M6_T-nut.stl.
If you have M3 insert nut, please use SupportM3InsertNut.stl to have strong connection,
otherwise you can use SuppoerM3.stl. If you do not need to repeat loosening and tightening, it should be OK.
To build this, you need to use
(1) M3x10 or x8 bolts, 24pcs.
(2) Aluminum coupler 5mm-8mm, 2pcs.
(3) NEMA17 Stepper motor, 17HS4401S etc, 2pcs.
(4) MKS DLC + TFT35, or Arduino Uno + CNC shield
(5) Stepper motor driver, TMC2209 etc, 2pcs.
Optional
(1) M3 insert nut, 16pcs.
such as https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001453649057.html
Instead of using Aluminum coupler (such as https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32900549422.html), you can use 3D printed coupler. Initially, I used it and it was OK. Of course, Al is stronger.
Please enjoy this.
