Re: unimat 3d model project

 

LOL, on my iPad. I went to get them from the source so I could link to it and cannot find it. Luckily I had saved them and found them again with their cryptic names. I have now uploaded them to the 3D model folder in the files area.

Re: unimat 3d model project

 

Er, I'm a dummy and really failing at looking through the files section, just spotted them
Re: unimat 3d model project

 

Oh nothing in particular really.? These machines and modeling them up is just a project I guess.? I think right now I have the base machine, power feed, jig saw attachment and grinder shroud/arbor so I can get all of that modeled up.? Where did you find the tailstock files??
Re: Machining 3d prints

 

These treads often wander waaaay off-topic¡­ it¡¯s not the first, and it certainly won¡¯t be the last :-)
3D print models for DB/SL parts and accessories.

 

Please list those items you have found and if possible upload them to the files/photos section.?

I have the tailstock casting files as .stl files and am uploading them now. (If it works)
Need Unimat DB/SL parts or accessories?

 

Let¡¯s use this thread to list the needs and links to sources.?

Hopefully we can find good drawings (if they aren¡¯t in the files/photos already) and post them here too.?

I will start a 3D printing thread to help keep ideas and tips and files where we can find them.?
Re: Machining 3d prints

 

But that has nothing to do with this discussion.?
Re: unimat 3d model project

 

Rick, tell us what parts you are looking for.?

I¡¯m going to start a 3d printing thread where we can discuss parts and materials and maybe link to the files section. If it is OK with the management, I will start uploading models to the files section and pictures to the photo section. Yesterday I finally found the DB tailstock files. I have no idea where they came from because they have cryptic names. I knew I had saved them but couldn¡¯t find them. So, they are now renamed as what they are¡­ tailstock housing and tailstock base. There is a good drawing of the quill in the files section. I¡¯m still looking for the hand wheel lead screw drawing.?
Re: unimat 3d model project

 

Something like that is what I was hoping to find for the sl1000/db200 (not even sure what to properly call this machine still).? But if its not something that's out there I'm willing to put the time in, just didn't want to do it if someone else already had lol.

Another user pointed me to the files section here.? I overlooked that section entirely.? I'll get things posted there as I go, hopefully get some feedback and see if my dimensions are correct compared to others and maybe some others can fill in some missing pieces that I won't have yet.?

What happens to plastics after they have been used is a major issue.
Re: unimat 3d model project

 

And it's a great step file and you can separate all the parts. I have printed the steady rest.?

Don¡¯t laugh!? Aluminum (and brass for that matter) can be made to behave as magnets. All one needs to do is pass a magnetic field through them that will induce an electrical current to flow, and they will become an electromagnet. ?Probably not too practical to do this around a Unimat though

Mehmood:

Get the one that works for aluminum too. I think they are the same price.

?I wanted an easy way to pick up magnetic cuttings from saw, grinder, lathe, etc. It can be small since it is going to be used with the Unimat and at my little work bench. Inspired by a LONG one I saw someone had made, I came up with this:

<IMG_5492.jpeg>



To use:?
Pick up the magnetic bits, hold the thing over the disposal spot and pull the cap. Done. Everything falls off the tip of the pen.?

You need:
- an old pen (or a new one you don¡¯t like)
- a bit of wooden stick, or plastic or whatever?
- strong, tiny magnets
- a bit of glue, I used hot glue

The pen was gutted, the magnets glued to the stick and the stick glued in the cap.?
As you can see, the thing has plenty of strength, and will hang from some convenient spot, like a steel pegboard hook.?

Make one!

Re: DIY magnetic pickup tool

 

I¡¯m going to make a version with a regular retractable pen.?

The aluminum and brass models require modeling clay on the tip. Single use item.?

:-D

These are good for the floor

Here is my classy magnetic pickup tool.Two old hard drive magnets on a string in a juice bottle.
p.s. dosent work on Al or brass
Re: Machining 3d prints

 

I had several cad packages also and finally had to pick one to learn. Trying many at once kept me confused the small nuances are murder.
Again the learning is the fun part.
I have a Prusa filament printer I love, and a new anyqubic resin one I am still learning to use. The Unimat is also one of my learning needs. ?

?Thanks again. I will probably drop the infill on some projects but I wanted to try this to see how it works. This was printed on a Kobra and I¡¯ve had good results with regular PLA on that machine, but no testing of the density I printed this one at. I will try raising the bed temp a couple of degrees for the PLA+.
I¡¯m jealous of folks who can drive a real CAD program. My old brain struggles with Tinkercad, but I have loaded a few CAD programs on my laptop and am slowly attempting to learn. It probably isn¡¯t necessary, but fun to try.
Re: Machining 3d prints

 

Try freecad using the part workbench. It's like a smart tinker cad.
