......@@ -4,24 +4,16 @@ This is a simple spindle for simple milling machines, that we can make with a 3D
It uses a 'collet holder' (which can be found on ebay) with two simple roller bearings on either end. To drive the spindle, we use a hobby brushless motor and a GT2 Pulley.

At the moment, the CAD in this repo is for a spinldle that will easly mount to a faceplate of one ['rct' gantry](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/rctgantries) but it can easily be remodeled to suit another machine.
## CAD
## To Build
A .f3d Fusion 360 File is located in the cad/ directory.
To put this thing together, get the parts listed below together, and a 3D Printer. Go to the ```cam``` folder in this repository, and download either the .step or .stl files (the .stl files do not include bits required for an encoder mount - but that's outside of the project scope for the time being).
Print the ```simplespindle-body.stl``` file, and if you can't source a 40T / 12mm Bore Collet Holder, also print ```gt2-40t-12mmbore.stl```. I print these things pretty much solid with infill.
I'm hoping assembly is straightforward: push the bearings into the obvious holes. They should press in with only a bit of force, if you need to use an arbor press that's OK, but **don't** hammer them in unless you like noisy machines. The collet holder should slide into the bearings without much resistance: just take care to line it up.
## Notes
The belleville washers (disk springs) included in the BOM should be mounted between the collet-holder collet-holding end and the inner race of the bottom bearing. The 40T pulley w/ respective set-screws holds the collet holder into the bearing / body assembly - as you tighten those screws, try to compress those belleville washers. This way the bearings are a little bit preloaded, which helps them run smooth / for a long time / quitely. S/O to [Ilan Moyer](http://web.mit.edu/imoyer/www/index.html) for this tip.
From there, I zip-tie the ESC somewhere handy, and mount the BreadBoardBoard nearby. Here's what that looks like:

## Runout
I measured a runout at the collet holder of ~ 1 thousandths, and at the tip of a 1/8" tool around ~ 3 thousandths. That's OK for $150 in parts, and a plastic housing.

## Controlling the Spindle
This thing dreams of [atkbldcdrivers](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/atkbldcdriver) but in the meantime, we use a [breadboard board](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/atkbreadboardboard) to send a servo signal to an off-the-shelf ESC.
I'm (eternally) working on a brushless motor driver for this, and other brushless motor driver things. Until then, I am using off-the-shelf brushless ESCs (from quadcopter domain) to turn this around.

# V0.2
I'm working through an update to this, adding some CAD now. This time I'm going for [crowned pulleys](https://woodgears.ca/bandsaw/crowned_pulleys.html) using the back-side of a 100T GT2 closed-loop pulley. I've added some fancy / fun tapered-screw-shaft-pinching setups for the pulleys.
This is also going to hook up to the [hotplate](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/jakeread/hotplate)
## V0.2 TODO:
- assemble, check, rev
- BOM, drawing
- belt tensioning / tracking ok?
- bldc programming, power testing etc
- belt testing slip / at high speed?
- what is failure mode ?
