CubeXY Fabrication Part 1

Most of the 3D printed parts have been printed. All done on my Wanhao I3. Here's a pic of most of the parts that have been fabricated so far:

Apologies for the stained garage floor

The following is a picture of one of the top front rod holder/pulley blocks having one of its pockets CNC milled. Turns out ProTrak mill programming is like riding a bicycle.

If you look closely at the vise, you'll see two black vise blocks. These were 3D printed solid, and have a cylinder boss that interfaces with the 12mm rod holes. They allowed me to align the part. I then used a gauge to pick up the inside of the other 12mm hole, the center of which became my zero.

The last few 3D printed parts are currently printing:

The following picture series shows modifications to the acrylic shell.

Taped-on paper template + coping saw

Finished screen hole. Used a file to clean up edges

Test fitting the bezel

Screen and bezel installed!

Letters glued on

Template for power socket

Power socket installed. I actually cut out the corners shown in the
previous picture so I could orient the socket the other way around.

Left to fabricate:

• CNC mill Y-axis pulley blocks
• CNC mill X plate
• CNC mill bed plate
• Turn brass melt-in insert soldering iron tips
• Drilling and installing melt inserts
• Wiring

After that, lots of assembly.
