Foredom flex-shaft mount for Thing-O-Matic
Description
This Is Similar To Marcus Wolschon'S Toolhead Adapter Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:9491 Except That This Is Designed To Hold A Foredom Flex-Shaft Rather Than A Dremel. The Foredom Has Better Bearings And Exhibits Less Tool Wobble Than A Dremel. There Is Also A 1/2 Inch Hole For A Piece Of Vinyl Tubing To Be Connected To A Vacuum. I Will Be Using This Setup To Mill Pc Boards, But There Are Many Other Possibilities. I Suggest That You Use Marcus Wolschon'S Removable Build Platform And Pcb Vise Rather Than Accidentally Drilling A Hole Through Your Automated Build Platform. :) This Is A 10X10Cm Print, So Make Sure Your Nozzle Is Perfectly Centered When You Calibrate Your Thing-O-Matic. Update 2-20-13: I Added A Photo Of A Pc Board That I Made Using This Tool. I Layed Out The Board In Eagle Pcb And Made The Makerbot G-Code To Route The Traces Using Visolate. I Did Not End Up Using The Pcb Vise, Instead I Drilled Holes In The Board And Screwed It Directly To The Build Platform Carrier. Considering The High Precision Needed For These Surface Mount Chips (Which Are Finer Pitch Than Soics) I Felt That More Support On The Backside Of The Board Would Be Useful.
