PCB Drill Press Stand (with LED light) by solival
by Thingiverse
Last crawled date: 4 years ago
This is small neat drill press stand designed to use laser printer engines widely sold on ebay/aliexpress.
This project based on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:144333 by Mark Benson design with next improvements:
Designed for engine body sized L=35-60mm D=30mm
Shifted base hole to center drill according new motor diameter
Added 3x 3mm super light LED holders focused on drill working area
Added PCB with voltage regulator and connector for standard notebook power unit (which is used for drill and light). This can be easily changed on any power source up to 24v (only connector should be changed in this case)
Added holes in slider to mount PCB
Added hole on left side of fixed sliding wedge for balancing spring/rubber.
Bill of Materials
Mechanics
ABS or PLA filament
Drill chuck
M5 Threaded rod (about 110mm)
Threaded rod M8 (about 95mm and 80mm). One is for stand, second is for gear and fixed slider.
6x M8 nut, nyloc (better 8x for stand tightening)
4x 8mm washer
9x M3 18mm bolts
10x M3 nuts
6x 3mm washers
6x 3x12mm screws
Electronics
Motor from printer with body diameter 30mm and length between 35-60mm
Female-Female du-pont wires 10cm (6x)
3x LED 3mm White
2.54mm 2-wire connector
Jack plug (diameters must match your notebook power unit connector)
Notebook power unit
2x3 pin header male
LM7805 (or LM7812) voltage regulator
0.1uF and 0.33uF capacitors
3x 100 Ohm resistors (or 390 Ohm if LM7812 used)
Prototype Board or etched PCB
