DEMON ROTARY SWITCH PARTS

This is the version I use on my full Demon Controller TM.

EXAMPLE OF FANS I USE

with minimal wiring!

19MM WITH 11MM HOLE FOR PROBE SOCKET

ADD FEET FOR FREE STANDING CONTROLLER OR WORK TOP SCREW DOWN

Imagine building your own powerful cnc

Version 2 has longer AC cover tunnel for added finger protection

($25)

  • 1x Demon Shield TM (Fully Assembled)​​
  • PDF MANUAL EMAILED (ALSO IN ZIP FILE TO THE RIGHT)

And maximum accessories! 

BOTTOM PIECE

Print both parts tall with flat sides down. use an M3 screw to lock it in place. for 12mm, 16mm, 19mm, or 22mm push buttons.

Mounts an Arduino Uno R3 to any surface. Has holes for M3 hardware to mount it to your case. Use series 20 M3 T nuts for the square holes in the mount to attach the Arduino to the mount in 3 places with M3 x 12mm screws. I print it solid with a 0.6mm nozzle.

(Silver)

I AM NOLONGER UPDATING THE 80mm AND 40mm FAN VERSIONS

DRIVER COVER

Print both fan shroud and switch cover upside-down. Use M4x16 screws to bolt shroud to front plate. Use 1/4" or M6 screws to bolt front plate to the Demon Plate.

CONTROLLER PICTURES

Print cover upside down. Print tabs on their side. place cover on Demon Shield Board and flip upside down. Put a dab of glue in the pockets for the tabs, then slide the tabs in until they grip the board. allow them to dry.

Print cover upside down. I printed with no supports but I have excellent part cooling which helps the overhangs. The cover slides on and locks in place. All driver dip switches and screw terminals are accessible when in place with the lid slid off which means it can be permanently attached. Mounting for two 80mm fans, two 60mm fans, or three 40mm fans, no thicker than 15mm. I recommend 24VDC 60mm quite fans and connecting them directly to the power supply.

2021 Parts

File is set up for laser or cnc cutting in 2 parts. It should be made from 1/4" material and glued together. it makes it easy for perfect counterbores on both the top and the bottom. the purchased version is acrylic, but may not be clear.

Save time and money from previous wiring requirements! 

What's included

For #6 wood screws with 82 degree heads

screws go in at 20 degree angle for easy install

Suggested wire and cable size : 

  • 1x Arduino Uno R3
  • 4x TB6600 Drivers
  • ​1x 24VDC 15 Amp Power Supply (Mean Well or Similar Recommended)
  • 6 Wire Ribbon Cable or Hookup Wire

PUSH BUTTON ENCLOSURE

Demon Shield TM for the Arduino uno R3. This is an affordable shield that eliminates extensive wiring when making  a Demon Controller TM for DIY CNC. It includes a noise filter for the 3 limit switches and probe. There are easy connect ports on both sides of the shield for SPINDLE DIRECTION (often used with VFD spindles), PWM, LIMIT SWITCHES,  ABORT (push button connection), FEED HOLD (push button connection), RESUME (push button connection), COOLANT (M7, M8, M9 commands—relay connections), and PROBE. To be used with 3 or 4 TB6600 stepper motor drivers (or similar) and a 15 amp 24VDC power supply.

DEMON SHIELD COVER

(I USE THE 60mm FANS ON THE FULL CONTROLLER BUILDS)

Mounts an Arduino Uno R3, Demon Shield, 4x TB6600 drivers, and Mean Well power supply all in one compact 5" by 5" by 12" package. Has holes to mount it to an enclosure. I'll be sourcing one that it fits into eventually.

These is are included with my full Demon Controller TM.
