Kitchen Fronts, Door Carving and Bus Parts #64 - Novi Sad, Serbia
 
My name is Danilo Macanovic from Novi Sad, Serbia.

Last year I have built a small cnc (50x70cm) with linear bearings, ballscrews and learned a lot, made my own drivers for unipolar steppers (Mardus Kreutz) and they worked flawless (it helps to have an expert Mardus in the neighborhood) .

From start I wanted a bigger more massive machine but did not have the funds for it at the time. Now with help of some friends the build may be successful. I printed the plans and read most of the forum so I did my homework.
I decided for the Geckos this time because I really want to see them in action :)

I have available rack module 1 and pinion with 20 and 30 teeth. Steel for the frame is relatively cheap here so it wont be problem. Also there is a laser cutting service near me so that too wont be a big problem...

As everything looks in a month or two there will be one mechmate more from this part of Europe :)

p.s. I plan on using mechmate for cutting mdf boards and all sorts of other wood, forex, plexiglass etc.
And not to forget, I am basically an electronics engineer but in love with cnc machines.

I have tons of questions so be prepared :)

Danilo: Welcome to the project. Sounds like you are ready for a fast build. We are looking forward to the pictures. Joe

a little delay
 
MM has to wait a little becouse my colegues and me are building a bot for EUROBOT 2010 named Lily2, previous model Lily won in our national competion and made it till the quarter finals in Heilderberg Germany.
We made this one out of polypropilene and cut the parts on cnc.

Notice the beard! no time to shave when you start building a mechmate :)

I still have not cut the steel but had to paint it becouse of constant rain last 2 weeks.

I made a BOB with all the features I need for a MM, here is the PCB being made on my smaller cnc

Spider.
 
Is it just me, or is the spider way small. Seems like a Big gap between the spider and the side plate.

Also missed the bend for the gas strut mount.

You are movin quick! Good luck!

They are all like that I think. Some washers as spacers on both sides, then it fits perfectly.

Gerald D Mon 07 June 2010 23:59

Cody, his y-car is not welded up yet....the parts are just loosely placed.

Codered741 Tue 08 June 2010 00:16

Of course...
 
Duh... I should have caught that... Never mind!

danilom Tue 08 June 2010 05:47

Yes I placed it only too have a feel how it looks.

I was missing 100x50mm tube, got it today, so now I just need to take it all to friends machine shop :)

Milan's and mine motors 86HS9802 and a spindle from Deitech arrived too, will be getting them in next couple of days.

Will post some pictures as work continues!

Codered741 Tue 08 June 2010 23:42

Geez i hope not. I posted that from my phone in the airport, the dangers of surfing on a small screen. P

My bad! I'll look closer next time.

Man this is great!!! You have to love how the MechMate teaches us stuff as we go. Pushing us to learn the "trades". Machining,Welding,Electrical and Electronic ... CNC .... CAD ...CAM .... I can go on and on !!!!

Great to see all those old machines making a MechMate!!!!

danilom Sun 01 August 2010 15:01

Its just some colors I like
 
Finished painting now to fit the motors and get the cable chain

Wired the spindle and prepared the spider wheels, they are bit larger and I made 20 of them on cnc lathe so used 6 instead of 4.

I assembled the belt reductions that I made earlyer and they worked out pretty nice!

Pump for my 2.2kW spindle is Atman 105, its a bit larger than Milan's Atman 104 which is working fine for him but I got this one at a good price so went with larger.

Well I am near the finish line.

Mounted control buttons, and did some 3D tests. Other 2 pictures are from making of my own drivers Mardus-Kreutz unipolar. They work well but will be changed sometime in the future if i have to.
