Hi, everyone I have been following up on the Sienci designs from a while and want to build a LongMill from scratch. In the process, I realised they had a smaller desktop Mill before and couldn’t wait to build that first. Really liked the design so I went ahead and modified it in a way that I got rid of almost all the 3d printed parts. The only 3d printed parts on my MillOne would be the ACME nut holders. It’s a start, hoping all goes well.

And some progress, motors, lead screws, gantries installed and it moves but with a lot of noise. But yeah no 3d printed parts. Looks clean
@Dharmesh I missed your first post, Dharmesh. Welcome to the group. You bring a different perspective to it. Please keep posting your progress reports.
Your build is really looking good. 
Why do you suppose it is so noisy? (no offence intended)
It’s noisy because the motors directly mount/touch the side panels and so do the aluminium rails. Maybe the 3d printed part in the original design acts as a damper. I would offset the motor with spacers and check how much it affects.
