Found a problem with the MPCNC Design. Bearing 1.jpg You can see in the middle assembly, that the 5/16 bolt head and the Bearing are touching, This will have to have thinner Bolt Head. Will be Grinding about 1/2 the thickness of the bolt head away to allow the bearing to freely spin... Bearing 2.jpg

There are so many it is sometime difficult to set a starting point. Without more information.
What is the largest models you will be wanting to work with. Do you have a preference of materials. " PLA, ABS, PETG ect..."

Mainly on this forum we deal with 3D Printing. I am building a MPCNC from V1 Engineering Kits Available. I plan to use it for 3D Printing larger Parts, I will be using it as a CNC simply because it has that ability. There is a lot to watch on YouTube on this new MPCNC I like the ability to etch my o...

My question is, can you mess up a 3D printing by manually moving the Z axis? No: If this was the case I would never be able to print. I manually move the XY axis to pre-level the hot-bed. Then do an Auto Bed Leveling. How can I reset factory setting. I send a " M502 : Factory Defaults " Then a " M5...

No it was simple. Other than someone else making up the kit, it is all on you to determine what you what and make or order all the parts accordingly. I live in Washington State the conduit sold here is 3/4 or .75inch, selected the 23.5mm STL's and 3D Printed all the plastic parts in ABS. In my case ...

Assembled the Middle Assembly today still need the conduit to assembly the remaining frame Assemblies.

Today started to Assemble the MPCNC, I do not believe any of the measurements of the Hardware match the hardware purchased. Will have to take the parts assembly to the Hardware store then match what is needed. The measurements are wrong or the Store has all hardware in the wrong parts bins, or they ...

Looked every where trying to find the best deal on nuts an bolt hardware for the MPCNC 3D Printer E-Bay averaged 55-75 dollars the other online store were close to the same prices. Went to Home Depot for work related Hardware notice the bolt section and purchased all the Nuts and Bolts Plus a few no...

I have noted a distinctive difference between the SD card Print and the OctoLapse Print textures. SD vs OctoLapse 1.jpg SD vs OctoLapse 2.jpg Noted: in the Photos above the model on right was printed with the SD Card While Model on the left within OctoPrint's Octolapse. You will note a distinct text...

Boss called today with bad news no work, so started to printing the last few models for my V1 Engineering MPCNC. Being the last of the Large ABS models wanted to record using Octolapse and noticed that the print time was extended by 30 minutes. Decided to time each time-lapsed photo and measured abo...

6 Hours of printing left.

Here is the largest ABS Print video printed on a Hictop 3DP12 24volt
Nozzle Temp 228
Bed Temp 96C
Fan Speed 100/256 "about 42%"
Printed in a homemade Enclosure venting fumes Outside using a Bathroom fan at 65% full Speed.

Down to 6 models left to print, not this weekend though too much yard work that has to be completed. Wanted to post saying the project is getting closer and closer. Will pickup the two 10foot Conduits on Monday. have a piece of Blondewood 3/4-in Whitewood Plywood will need to see if is survived in t...

Thank you.

Have been searching everywhere to try to get the least expensive Hardware, It's crazy.

I have a E-Bay seller getting me a quote on a list, But it may look like Mcmaster Carr may get the bid.
