3 D Printed diamond scribe holder

[acourtjester]

Here is a video of a 3 D printed holder for a Diamond scribe I made for my table. This plaque is 3" X 5" on Aluminum.

Very nice! I've got the easysciber diamond scribe and have made some pretty cool things with it. Awesome you 3d printed your own tool holder!!!

[acourtjester]

Thanks Just have all the fun I can, buying a 3D printer has helped me learn how to do 3D drawing. I have posted other things I have developed and printed for my Plasma/ router table. I will pass along the files if a member would like to make their own or build one for them.

That's a grand job there Tom!
Guess hot rolled is a no no for those scribes?
That mill scale is tough stuff!

[acourtjester]

Thanks I have not tried hot rolled
Maybe another member that has an easy scribe could reply.

PM me with your email address I cannot PM them to you here, these will be the stl files, I have a Tevo Tarantula and the G-codes are configured with a slicer program called ideamaker for that printer. I could also sent the G-code if you want. The short ones are a Drag Knife

yes that is my posting of the item.
Here are the linear bearing I used you may need another auction to get them in the UK.

and the chrome shafts again shipper to the UK

The screw holes in the mounts are set for 10-32 thread don't know the metric size. I press the bearings in first then slide that rods in and press them in the top then the bottom so the distance between the rods is maintained. I use a vice to do this. Cutting the rods to length I use a cutoff wheel as they are very hard.

Thanks, I've been using these igus ones as they seem to have better support and less play than the bearing ones

Tom, what diamond scribe are you using? I may have to print some up! Thanks for the Share!!

[acourtjester]

I have use a few different ones it seems the best is the one from "Easy Scribe" they sell a replacement tip. I have also used a diamond tipped used for grinding wheel dressing, they do work and are cheaper but the angle of the tip is not as sharp. I have found others on eBay that could work too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RDZ-1-8-60-CNC ... 1438.l2649 But these are the same price of the Easy Scribe replacement tip
