Ultimate DIY CNC Controller Dark Art Guitars 2021-12-03 | Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here: pcbway.comI have always wanted a proper controller for my CNC, so I used the PCBs from my TKL keyboard and the 4x4 macro keyboard to build a custom controller interface. The screen is the same tablet computer I was using previously, but now everything is neatly integrated and I can control both the BF30 and the KillerBee CNC with ease.Want to support me directly and look extra stylish?

How much LASER POWER do you NEED? - Aufero Laser 1 Review Dark Art Guitars 2021-11-23 | The Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro is one of my favorite laser engravers, but it is quite expensive. The Aufero Laser 1 has the same motherboard and laser diode, but a smaller engraving area, and most importantly a smaller price tag. In this video I compare it to the LM2Pro and also compare the 3 available laser attachment options, so you can get the one that is the best for your application.Buy the Aufero Laser (affiliate link): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AckBp4Want to support me directly and look extra stylish?

Voron 0.1 Detailed Review - 2 Months Later Dark Art Guitars 2021-11-13 | Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here: pcbway.comAfter completing the build of my Voron 0.1 I went ahead and tested it very rigorously. I tried all kinds of materials like Polycarbonate, Nylon, Flexible, ABS, PETG, PLA. I also tried to push the limits of how fast I can print, completing a 3DBenchy in under 10min, which is very fast. During those 2 months of testing, I also noticed some issues that aren't dealbreakers, but definitely something you should keep in mind. Overall I am very happy with this printer, especially considering how much it cost to build.Voron Design: vorondesign.comThe kit I used on Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A0mQSYWant to support me directly and look extra stylish?

Fully Automated 3D Printer Upgrade - 3DQue Quinly Review Dark Art Guitars 2021-10-29 | While there are many systems to control your 3d printer through a web interface, you still have to manually take the finished prints of the buildplate before you can start a new print. 3DQue tries to solve this with the Quinly system. It is both, the hardware you need to easily release the finished prints, as well as the software to schedule upcoming prints for multiple connected printers. While it is not cheap, if you have the right application for it, it can dramatically increase the productivity of your machines and mean that you can achieve the same number of prints with far fewer machines. However, it is also not without it's querks, so in this video, I tell you what the whole experience is like.3DQue website: 3dque.comWant to support me directly and look extra stylish?

DIY CNC Electronics - RatRig KillerBee #4 feat. Mach 3, NVEM, Closed Loop Steppers Dark Art Guitars 2021-09-24 | Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here: pcbway.comInstead of going with a GRBL based controller for the KillerBee, as the Blackbox RatRig offers, I decided to go with Mach3. I am also using closed-loop stepper motors and a 2.2kw spindle. This means there are quite a bit of electronics to wire up. In this video, I go over all the parts in detail and explain what they do and how you need to wire them up for the machine to work in the end.RatRig KillerBee (not sponsored): ratrig.com/3d-printing-cnc/cnc-kits/rat-rig-killerbee.htmlClosed Loop Steppers: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9IrGPISpindle: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9hVWmkNVEM controller: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AqsEsWPower supply: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AAmh9UPhysics Anonymous Screenset: http://www.physanon.com/pa-mach-3-screen-setHelpful videos: Connecting to the NVEM: youtube.com/watch?v=6-07MT0zFT8&list=WL&index=8&t=104sNVEM Config: youtube.com/watch?v=23NlWwOJcLgSpindle VFD Setup: youtube.com/watch?v=Pm6ZD2vEz1sMusic by Zweihänder, check it out here: https://t.co/BpLpIm8lYzWant to support me directly and look extra stylish?

Fusion 360 3D Sketching - Maker Software Dark Art Guitars 2021-09-21 | There are a few shapes that are just not possible to get with standard 2D sketches and extrude features. If you want to model cables, tubes, or anything of the sort in Fusion360, 3D sketches are the way to go. They work just like regular sketches, but you can leave the plane you're sketching on and go into the 3rd dimension. In this video, I show you how you can control the sketch features in 3D, as some of them can be quite tricky.

Voron 0.1 Build - Best $500 3D Printer? Dark Art Guitars 2021-09-17 | Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here: pcbway.comOver recent months Voron Design has gotten a lot of attention, and that with good reason. In a world dominated by Ender 3 clones, they offer a 3d printer design that truly feels modern. Based on a CoreXY design with linear rails and high-quality components the Voron line of printers is known for its lightning-fast speed and precision. To top it all off the firmware of choice is Klipper with Fluid as the control interface. This gives access to easy customizability and tunability of all the awesome features.All of this comes at a price though, and that is that you need to build this printer yourself. And that doesn't just mean putting a few screws in, but instead printing all the ABS parts yourself, then assembling all the hundreds of little parts, topped off by wiring and firmware configuration. Thankfully there is great documentation that makes this process a lot easier.Next Part: youtu.be/pElU1ry1yRkVoron Design: vorondesign.comThe Kit I used on Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A0mQSYMusic by Zweihänder, check it out here: https://t.co/BpLpIm8lYzWant to support me directly and look extra stylish?

Intro to Reading GCode - Maker Software Dark Art Guitars 2021-09-14 | Sadly 3D printers and CNC machines don't speak English, so telling them to cut a circle doesn't result in anything. Instead, they speak gcode, so we should probably at least know how to read it to better understand what is going on. In this video, I explain the basics behind how gcode is structured and how you can read it quite easily.Reference for 3D printing commands: marlinfw.org/meta/gcodeMach3 reference for CNC: machmotion.com/documentation/gcode/Mach3-GCode-Language-Reference.pdfTo view your gcode files you can use any text editor. The one I used is called Brackets and allows you to color-code the commands for better readability.Want to support me directly and look extra stylish?

How to 3D PRINT Parts that FIT Together - Maker Software Dark Art Guitars 2021-08-31 | Modeling things for 3d printing can be very satisfying. If you don't put the proper clearance, however, things will not fit together in the end, as 3d printing is not a perfect process. In this video, I show you some tips and tricks on how you can make your 3d prints actually fit together in the real world.If you're looking for some good general-purpose advice on tolerances for 3d printed mechanical parts, here are the design rules that Voron design uses with great success:-no overhangs over 45 degrees-0.4mm chamfer on surfaces that touch the print bed (and no fillets on the build surface--breaks the 45 degree overhang rule)-loose joints are generally oversized by 0.3-0.4mm diameter for a loose fit or 0.1mm for a press fit. 3.4mm for M3 hardware, 5.4mm for M5 hardware-Countersunk holes "overhanging" the print surface should have a chamfer on them or another method like that to prevent issues-Think about minimum perimeters/shells--try to avoid really thin featuresWant to support me directly and look extra stylish?

KillerBee CNC Assembly Finished - RatRig KillerBee #3 Dark Art Guitars 2021-08-27 | Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here: pcbway.comIn this video, I complete the assembly of the RatRig KillerBee. I show you all the steps involved and also talk about the changes and improvements that I've made. I also go ahead and machine a custom x motor mount to reduce the footprint of my machine. Overall I quite like this machine so far, the manual for the assembly is very good and the machine is built extremely solid for a hobby router.

Sturdy and FLAT CNC Table - RatRig KillerBee #1 Dark Art Guitars 2021-08-13 | To complement my big BF30 CNC I decided to build a RatRig KillerBee hobby CNC router. It'll be great for working on larger pieces and with smaller tools, thanks to its big working envelope and fast spindle. In this video, I show how I built a table that is flat with no twist in it to provide a good base. With these cheaper CNCs, having a flat surface is important, as the frame is not strong enough to stay flat on its own.Music by Zweihänder, check it out here: https://t.co/BpLpIm8lYzWant to support me directly and look extra stylish?
