The Jubilee project's [[Project_Goals#Design_Objectives|design objectives]] require that custom parts that cannot be 3D printed be kept to an absolute minimum to ensure the best "fabricability" for the project to any builder using basic tools. However, certain components of the platform do necessitate some custom-machined metal parts that are core to how Jubilee operates as a toolchanging platform.

MIC6 Aluminum also thermally expands evenly when heated, which means the plate will not warp when heated with a silicone mat as is common for 3D printers.

Revision as of 18:42, 12 May 2020

The Jubilee project's design objectives require that custom parts that cannot be 3D printed be kept to an absolute minimum to ensure the best "fabricability" for the project to any builder using basic tools. However, certain components of the platform do necessitate some custom-machined metal parts that are core to how Jubilee operates as a toolchanging platform.

There are currently 3 parts that are required to be machined/purchased in order to complete a Jubilee build: the twist lock, the bed plate, and the aluminum crossbar.

In addition, Jubilee also offers certain upgrades to standard parts that can be purchased from third-party vendors or can be fabricated by people with access to the necessary machines to achieve this. This page lists both the required machined parts for a standard Jubilee build, as well as the design files for the upgrade parts for more advanced builders. These are called out under the Machined Upgrades section of this page.

The Twist Lock

The twist lock shaft was modified to be compatible with the specifications presented in the E3D ToolChanger. However, as it has slightly different features because the underlying system operates differently, it is a distinct part.

Purchasing Options

Machining Options

The Bed Plate

The bed plate is made from 6.35mm thick MIC6 Aluminum, colloquially known as cast tool plate. This tool plate arrives surfaced, meaning that it is extremely flat to a high degree of specification. MIC6 Aluminum also thermally expands evenly when heated, which means the plate will not warp when heated with a silicone mat as is common for 3D printers.

If you machine the bed plate yourself, you can purchase a 14in. x 14in. x 1/4in. sheet of cast tool plate from Midwest Steel Supply or OnlineMetals. Please refer to the dimensioned drawing for hole features.

Purchase Options

The bed plate can also purchased from one of various vendors either with or without magnets. Magnetic surfaces enable the use of a magnetic spring steel build plate. Non-magnetic surfaces can be made printable with surfaces like glass. The purchase options are as follows.

Machining Options

The Crossbar

The crossbar carries the X-axis rail and the tool carriage. The current revision is a pocketed aluminum crossbar, enabling the machine to carry heavier tools and operate at higher temperatures without warping.

  • ~160 grams
  • Top Speed: 15000 - 20000 mm/min.

Machining Options

Note: the Deprecated Carbon Fiber Crossbar

Light and stiff. This option was part of the original design, made by requesting a custom DXF from CNCMadness and installing four press-fit composite inserts. Assembly Instructions remain on the GitHub wiki for V2.0.1.

  • ~140 grams + 20 grams with inserts
  • Top Speed: 15000 - 20000 mm/min.

Machined Upgrades

Some parts aren't required to be machined, but serve as an upgrade path if replaced with machined parts.

Motor Plates And Corner Plates

If you machine the motor plates and corner brackets yourself, you can purchase some .25" Aluminum plate from OnlineMetals.
