Hardware for Cyclone-PCB-Factory
|
|
||||||
===================
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A 3D-printable (Rep-Rap alike) CNC machine, intended for PCB manufacture.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Read this, it's important!
|
||||||
|
===========================
|
||||||
|
If you are reading this, then you are looking at the development version of Cyclone PCB Factory. This means files may present inconsistencies (dimensions mismatch, lack of tolerances, etc).
|
||||||
|
If you just want to build the machine, take a look at the following locations:

Getting the (development) source files
|
||||||
|
========================================
|
||||||
|
Install git (http://git-scm.com/) onto your system. Then run a clone:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git clone git://github.com/carlosgs/Cyclone-PCB-Factory.git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will download the latest sources into a directory named 'Cyclone-PCB-Factory'.

- Plenty of feedback from **Pedro de Oro**, **Alberto Valero**, **Alberto Mendez** (and **Obijuan**, **Pacle**, **Jesus**, **Ana**, **Santi**, **Antonio**, **Jose**... :-P) at the _department of innovation and robotics at [bq](http://www.bq.com/)_. **Cyclone is much more user-friendly thanks to you!**
|
||||||
|
- Z axis concepts by **Quim Borras** and the spindle motor holder by **Misan** were really useful!! Also, **Diego Viejo**'s machine was of great inspiration for the Z axis (<https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/113930344830086538817/albums/5868944432651911713?authkey=CLDJgdehlN773gE>) **Thank you all!!**
|
||||||
|
- This design woudn't have been possible without the encouragement of the **Panda CNC community** (<https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/102402711800402614517>)
|
||||||
|
- Also, thanks to **Juan González-Gómez (Obijuan <http://iearobotics.com>)** for naming the machine Cyclone :)

The origin of Cyclone took place while I (carlosgs) was inside the **Panda CNC** community (<https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/102402711800402614517>). This is from December 2012 to mid-February 2013.
|
||||||
|
Here is the credit for the ideas that were used:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* _Let's design a 3D-printable CNC for PCB milling, it will be named Panda:_ **Guillermo Welch** (mid-December, via Google Talk)
|
||||||
|
* _X carriage rod distribution:_ **César Augusto Fernández Cano** claims Cyclone's X axis is a derivate of his concept: <https://plus.google.com/u/0/111421387442355054591/posts/QrfYtEuZBaj>
|
||||||
|
* _100x160mm workspace:_ **David Martin** <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16122275/PandaCNC_credit/workplace_size.png>
|
||||||
|
* _Using gears to drive the X-Y axes:_ **Guillermo Welch** <https://plus.google.com/u/0/101232926728463427403/posts/QjZGNcWcgGg>
|
||||||
|
* _Regarding the woodbase:_ **Guillermo Welch** always contemplated the possibility of attaching the machine (optionally) to a woodbase. I decided to use the base as a main structural part instead. See <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16122275/PandaCNC_credit/woodbase.png> (screenshot from <https://plus.google.com/u/0/113437723819360223498/posts/8LDCSSVWqCS>)
|
||||||
|
* _List of CNC endmill types:_ **David Martin** <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16122275/PandaCNC_credit/cnc_endmill_types.png>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please note I have taken screenshots of the post that are on the closed G+ Panda community (<https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/116318709564872967169>). You can register and see by yourself.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**All other development present on Cyclone has nothing to do with Panda and is not related to the Panda project.**
