The 660 does ~30k RPM while the Chinese spindles only do about 12-15k) I've been tempted to pick one up a few times.but they just seem to be a fairly big gamble.I've seen lots of people happy with them. They're lower RPM.but honestly the 660 is higher RPM than needed (and that lower RPM is probably a big part of the sound difference. They do tend to be quieter than the routers from what I hear.but the power supplies/controllers are questionable and the spindles tend to have more runout than either dewalt option. Those run about $130-$150 (Though banggood has one for just $80) The reviews I've heard about those have not been super encouraging. (I don't know exactly which spindle they're running on the rascal (I'd really love to see some of the guys working on it chime in here - Nerdnic, Sponz - you out there?), but it looks like the "standard" cheap Chinese 500w spindle. May have to resort to carpet tape for the second plate which I try to avoid since it's such a sticky mess. Parts popped up during the cut and it didn't sit level as a result so some spots cut too deep and some not deep enough. Was too big of a surface and the stock has a bit of a warp to it that kept pulling it up. The masking tape and CA method has been working great for me - but failed miserably on this last night. Love having the CNC available for this kind of thing! Finally starting to feel like I can trust it for cutting stuff with the spindle. I also still have to work out how I'm going to mount my FPV gear.but that will probably be handled with some 3D printed parts. It could actually fly as it is right now - well, if I tied down the wires and ESC's to keep them out of the props:īut I'll be cleaning up the wiring before that.Īnd I still need to cut the second plate and print the standoffs. It's kind of an odd feels BIG but it's actually looking like it's going to be lighter than it was before (3D printed PETG center section and 1/2" square wood dowel arms, with 1/8" lexan top/bottom plates.) So decided to fire up the MPCNC and make a new frame for the parts: Which is a shame since it has brand new motors and ESC's that only have about 15 minutes of flight time on them. So one of my quads has been sitting as a pile of parts for almost 9 months since I crashed it and destroyed the frame.
