This has been my initial generation CNC.
I acquired two objectives when I built this:
- Inexpensive as achievable
- Worked
It has been cheap (fairly), and it worked well (albeit not really as good as i actually hoped). The problem with the CNC was it did not have got enough lateral power on the Back button- or Y-Axis. That supposed it would not really be too accurate, I could not really replicate the exact same cut double, and the machine was just good for drilling holes. So as I move on to the next era, I thought I'd share what I learned this very first go-around ás I déconstruct my 1st CNC (on my spouse's cooking area table).
Components (Keep in mind, I tried to keep it cheap)
Items I purchased:
- 3-Axis Kit from Probotix (functions like a champ, conserving for another project)
- Cabinet Film negatives as Linear Rails (2 for the X-Axis, 2 for the Y-Axis, 1 for the Z-Axis)
- Two 1/2' MDF handy-panels (2' times 4' each)
- 1/4'-20 threaded pole for guide anchoring screws
- 1/4'-20 coupling nut products
- little set anchoring screws (3)
- Hardwood Glue
Stuff I had sitting around:
- Dremel Rotary tool
- Screws; all shapes and dimensions
- Scrap solid wood
- Angle Light weight aluminum
Tools I utilized:
- small drill press
- table saw
- hand drill
- screwdrivers
Lets get started with the déconstruction.
