Makers and those of you with access to a 3D printer might be interested in a new 3D printed pedestal drill which uses a Dremel to provide accurate desktop drilling. This innovative project is perfect for hobbyists and professionals alike who need a reliable and precise drilling solution. Check out the video below to learn more about the project, which is now available to download in its entirety from the Thingiverse website.
Project Overview
All the 3D printing files you need to create your very own “Drilling Machine” have been kindly uploaded by 3D-MPL. The files have been printed at a resolution of 0.24 mm with a 60% infill using OZE, Monofilament ABS 3D printing filament. This ensures that the parts are both strong and durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of regular use. The design is modular, allowing for easy assembly and customization based on your specific needs.
The creator, 3D-MPL, has designed the machine to be compatible with a variety of Dremel models. Originally developed for the Chinese counterpart TASP MMD002, the machine is versatile enough to fit most similar devices. If necessary, you will only need to change the diameter of the clamp bracket CLAMP-001 to accommodate different models. This flexibility makes it a valuable tool for anyone who frequently works on DIY projects or small-scale manufacturing.
Detailed Instructions and Customization
The video review provides a comprehensive guide on how to assemble the drilling machine, including tips on adjusting the clamp bracket and other components. The modular design allows for easy modifications, so you can tailor the machine to your specific requirements. For example, you might want to adjust the height of the pedestal or the angle of the drill to better suit your workspace.
Additionally, the use of ABS filament ensures that the parts are heat-resistant and durable, making the machine suitable for a wide range of drilling tasks. Whether you’re working with wood, plastic, or even light metals, this 3D printed pedestal drill can handle it all. The high infill percentage also contributes to the machine’s robustness, ensuring that it remains stable during operation.
