Currently Playing: Let's build a TBot cartesian motion platform

Let's build a TBot cartesian motion platform I needed an XY motion platform for an upcoming project, and had some prior CAD work for a "T-Bot" parallel cartesian mechanism. Let's machine some parts and assemble! Not as simple as v-wheels and extrusions, but a lot more fun :) We do some milling, some drilling with carbide 2.5mm drills and full profile threadmilling. 📢Twitter: https://twitter.com/BreakingTaps This mechanism uses three MGN12 linear rails, GT2 steel-reinforced belt and two Anaheim Automation DC brushless servo motors. I'll be wiring this up with some encoders and an ODrive for motion control. 0:00 Introduction 0:22 Base plate machining 1:52 Indicating and adjusting parallelism 3:08 Drilling 4:00 Small tool TIR 4:52 More drilling 5:47 Threadmilling 6:32 Motor plate 6:56 Isogrid! 9:30 Assembly overview 14:52 Details 21:17 Mistakes and defects Apologies for the softness of the machining footage... trying out a new lens and it appears to be not very sharp :( Anaheim site: https://www.anaheimautomation.com/products/brushless/brushless-motor-item.php?sID=143&pt=i&tID=96&cID=22
