Overview
A medium sized CNC Machine capable of cutting patterns
The Plan
- This project's focus is on implementing basic (though scalable) CNC functionality.
Progress
- Most of the Parts are ordered.
- The wood has been cut, but not fitted.
- Sourced Barrel Nuts locally
- Electronics and Steppers are in
- Need to get stepper/drive screw connectors
Parts List
| Part | Number | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2'x 4'x 3/4" MDF | 4 | $45 |
| 608ZZ Bearings (BRA) | 24 | $18 |
| R8zz Bearings | 6 | $13 |
| Aluminium Angle Bracket (1" x 1/8" x 36") | 1 | ? |
| NEMA 23 Steppers | 3 | |
| 240W DC Power Supply | 1 | |
| CNC Controller Kit (china) | 1 | $160 |
| 1/2" x 10' Threaded Rod (drive screws) | 1 | $30 |
| 1/4" to 1/2" Drive Coupling | 3 | $40 |
| Limit Switches | 6 | $10 |
| Sub Total | ~$316 |
Next Steps
- Lewters sells Barrel Nuts, so if the ones I ordered don't arrive soon - get some from there. (consolation: I didn't order enough anyway) (DONE - 26OCT10)
- Put the Table together.
- X-axis
- 2'x 4' MDF sections bolted together (DONE 27OCT10)
- Rails attached (Rails Cut)
- Ends attached (holes drilled in 2x4s but not in Ends)
- Y-axis
- Z-axis
- X-axis
- Get miscellaneous parts (Drive Couplings) (DONE 27OCT10)
- Wait for the Control Equipment to arrive from China. (ARRIVED- 27OCT10)
Resources
Ideas
- I'll probably want to go with a belt drive system for the 4'x 8' iteration.
