CNC Router Build #2 - Stepper Motors 

I appreciate your good workmanship there. Seems to be difficult these days to find people willing to spend the time to do things the right way and take pride in their work.

I have very little experience in electronics but there was so many gems/tips you provided that I can carry on to any projects. Thank you

Really appreciate this video series - my Father and I are building a CNC router based on many of the same/similar parts, and this promises to be a great resource on how to 'do it properly' - as we all know JW will.

Yes Sir Very Informative video I appreciate you taking each step and showing what you are about to do then the execution of the process Thank You for That Keep up the Great informative Videos

"Much quicker than expected" - love it!

A very interesting and informative video as usual. I'm looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work.

Very neat and tidy! Thanks for the videos detailing the process!

Looking good. It's all coming together quite quickly.

Very fancy. I made my motor cables out of wire I got out of a bunch of surplus IEC power cords. I had so many of those power cords laying around.

Thank you John for all your videos, they have helped me immensely. I actually want to make a cnc , and I have faith that yours will be perfect. Could I kindly ask what is the total cost. I've just seen a reply that you will put all the details in a later video. Thank you again for your time, and sharing your true expertise.

You can put bakelite thumb nut at the other end of the shaft of the motor so you can manually control your routers axises easily.

I think I speak for a lot of people here when I ask : are you going to play that piano for us? 😁

Thank you , so nice and perfect

i like thw attention to the details it"s a nice build

You're definitely a quick worker!

Hello John, can I use wago style connectors to bridge the cables? I'll put shielding in the motor cables, and use 5th connector to bridge the shielding. I hope it's correct

I find spray glue very good for holding work down.

Just figured a thing,you are the opposite of Photonicinduction.

Great video - very neat wiring Thanks

Why not just replace th provided wire alltogether rather than splicing them together. Shouldnt be so hard and you geta cable that is sheilded all the way or at least use the linesman splice which is neater and stronger.

Best of the best. Thanks so much 😎😁

You're gonna need really good rigid fixation of the cable and the motor, to avoid that serious weak spot where the (relatively rigid) cable goes into the motor.

Don't use heatshrink for that last section, use PVC braid and rubber sleeving . That's the wrong cable, use shielded twisted wire. Don't cut the earth wire short, leave it in. Add common mode ferrites at both ends.

Hello dear John can you tell me which ballscrew and guide rail size do you use? and can you use this setup machine for milling aluminum ? i mention for your choosing stepper motor which has 4 nm torque...is it enough for milling aluminum? thank you so much for sharing your experience.

John can you tell me what software I need to make any machine run, that I plan to build, for an open build CNC, I am using the CNC machine for building Govt, drones molds can you tell me what I would need to complete this as far as software, great job always.

can we use this machine for 3D work and for large production as heavy duty???

Perfect John 👌

Really tidy and well thought.if i wore a hat,i would tip it to you

thanks a lot

I'm surprised there is no mechanical protection of the wires going into the stepper motor.

Hi John, you use shielded cables but it is not electrically shielded. Common mistake, the reason is that the shielding should be connected to the chassis at both ends of the cable, all around the inner conductor, so no pigtails. Here is a nice simulation showing the effect of a shield connected only at one side, through one or more pigtails and the correct full around connection: www.rfemcdevelopment.eu/lv/emc-basics/emc-blog/147-emc-pigtail You can reduce the need for shielded cables by applying snubber networks to the end stage circuit and installing a lowpass filter and common mode choke on the output. It is better to prevent than trying to fight it.

This video doubles as an ASMR VIDEO.

which CAM is used ??

hey i have a stepper motor i have connected it to arduino uno r3 with a l298n driver but when i catch the shaft the stepper motor stops rotating i wonder then how do this stepper motor lift a good load is all stepper motors is like this or my stepper has any problem i am asking it because i am having a robotic arm project which requires to lift a load of 3 kg please replay thanks

can you provide some info on the heat gun used in the video. Is it mains powered?

Did you get all the CNC parts from cnc4you? If not, can you provide details of the other suppliers you used?

Does the cable shield not need to be tied to the motor chassis to be effective? I thought a shield needs terminated on both ends to effectively make a Faraday cage.

Who is in the urn?

Higher Voltage Vs. Higher AMP draw = much less heat, and much more economical.

i would have taken the motor apart and soldered the black cables directly to where the cables are soldered to

I suggest you build a decibel meter so you can tell when you are mumbling.
