My DIY CNC // Matilda - Thats a Wrap // Fluidnc

In this 3rd and final assembly video, witness the culmination of hard work and innovation as my DIY CNC machine "Matilda" comes to life. Matilda boasts a substantial workspace of 1120mm x 1500mm x 180mm, seamlessly controlled by a customized grbl controller, FluidNC. Explore the tweaks and upgrades that make Matilda a reliable and efficient machine.

Here are some resources to dive deeper into the configurations and the technology used:

The heart of the control system is the meticulously designed Root Controller V3 by Root CNC (aka Pete). This controller is a perfect match for FluidNC and grbl HAL firmware, offering complete isolation and protection to the microprocessor, paving the way for a worry-free CNC experience.

Love your design. Can't wait for when you make those files available.

Awesome machine mate! You've done well. I think i may have to look into making this beast when you've got the design files ready :)

I am interested in the design files as well. A CNC router ist one my 2024 projects.

Incredible looking machine. Do you mind sharing how much you paid for the aluminium plates from pcbway?

[benpryce]

Beautiful work! Looks to be retail quality. nice work

You are right to have some fear of very fast rapid rates. I once had a Z axis failure that left the spindle down when the program called for a raising the spindle and performing a rapid mode move to the other end of a part. Well, the machine proceeded to move at 20000 mm per minute (787.4 inches per minute) and pushed the part, fixture, and clamps off the table and onto the way covers. This caused thousands of dollars in damage.

Where did you buy the closed loop motors

Does anyone know if the Matilda CNC CAD files been released yet? Any download links?

Hi. Could you please share your CL57T V4.1 configuration (DIP switches and rotating switch) ? Just to have an idea on how to start to set mine when it will arrive 🙂 Thanks in advance

I notice you run Ball screws I guess 5mm pitch and the machine looks 1200mm wide so do you have problems with Ball Screw Whip at high speeds. 'What is your max travel speed and what ball screw' while running the closed loop stepper online steppers ?

Howdy, awesome project. Glad to see it up and running. Is the root controller a stand-alone controller, or do you need a PC to stream the gcode to it?

Every shot is so 'cinematic' that you cant see wtf is going on at all, I just want to see where/how the rails are mounted, whats the ball screw block positioning etc. etc. but I feel like im watching a teen drama series
