Mini Lathe DRO Mount

prusaprinters

<p>Thanks to the quarantine, I started and finished a project that was sitting on the bench for years... If it set for that long, it means it is not a necessity. And it is not! But it is cool and handy.</p> <p>DRO was bought online, nothing special. I used M3 bolds and nuts to hold the DRO to the brackets, an M5 that was already there for the threads dial. And 2 more M5 for the other end, which I had to drill and tap. Be careful when drilling into cast iron, it is soft!</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>AM8 + Titan Aero + MKS</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2 mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>25%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Inland PLA <p>Blue</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I used 10 walls to ensure enough strength around the screws. This way, the bracket will not colapse when torquing the screws down.</p></div> </p></p> Category: Machine Tools
