For only 5€ and a spool of filament, you can build yourself a serious DREMEL Drill Press and be VERY proud at the result!

Using cheap bearings this is a very easy and FUN build of a very secure and precise vertical guidance system.

BOQ:

Tube

For the steel tube I used 22mm steel pipe 1.4mm thick. It’s very cheap and common so easy to find in your local DIY shop. Here they use it for central heating.

Cut 2 pieces:

35cm and 25cm.

3D Printed Parts

I use regular PLA. It’s very stiff and strong. Make sure you print with minimum of 5 top, bottom, outer and inner layers.

Assembly instructions follow beneath. Have fun with this build and please give me likes as appreciation for my work.

(Still under construction!)

One last tip. Revisit this page just before you start printing. Maybe there are chances in the design.
