Basics

A Video by the YouTube Channel "Chris Borge" Titled "3D Printed Wood Lathe V4!" ( ~3 Minute Watch )
- A Rather Breif Version Summarizing the Fourth Iteration of Their Design
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "Chris Borge" Titled "3D Printed Wood Lathe- Build Guide" ( ~7.5 Minute Watch ) ( This video is still mostly accurate for V4's Assembly / Overview short of the changes mentioned in the V4 Video
Their videos are also creative commons, so that's neat!

Version 3 has a BOM which should be roughly similar, it goes as follows:
- "6mm rod, for tool rest, ~28cm
- 5/32nd rod, for slide, 2-3, 27cm
- Headstock:
  - er11 collet chuck, 5mm bore.
  - 5mm rod, to mount collet chuck. ~10cm
  - 4 10mm OD bearings, 5mm ID.
  - 4 10cm lengths 3/16th threaded rod + 8 nuts
  - 1m220mm bolt, or 2mm rod + glue
- Tailstock:
  - 2*10mm OD bearings, I use 6mm ID but you could use 5mm if thats easier
  - 3mm thick aluminium plates, 3.
  - 5mm *50mm bolts, 4, + 4 nuts"
I'll need to double check all that
- They also used an old sewing machine motor and belt to drive the system, modifying it to run on a BLDC Servo (Unless the torque would be too low on that, although belt reduction could fix this etc, that or use a stepper motor), so this also needs to be factored into the BOM
My area recently got an Ace Hardware which has an organized isle dedicated to Fasteners, and they have threaded rod, angle iron, and maybe even ground rod (i'll have to check the photos i took and online)
- All in all it should be cheaper and/or faster, so projects like this are way more realizable now so that's neat

Mostly 3D Printed Lathe (There is This Design by the YouTube Channel "The Contrapposto Shop" , more metal parts, more complex, but larger and they show it handling metal ) (need to check the cost, may be more but may be worth it. Intermediate between those [[Cheap
- Google Drive Folder on This Project
- All things considered may be best to save up and get this one to be honest, documented Chris Borge's anyways. They made a good Die Filer design, and an interesting Tapping jig that is easily adaptable to a Thermal Insert Press
- Also the Fractal Vise for whatever that's worth
