building it is the easy part for me , but the software is where i would fail
nice little cnc mill you got their regards jinx
that’s pretty expensive, a rep rap can be built for less than 500$
Where did you get the parts!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing…it looks good.
Very cool !
Use autocad 2010 and change to 3D modeling. I’m a sophomore in highschool and i’m in engineering design (took pre-engineering for a whole year last year). This week we also had an actual 3D printer that we got to use and print scale models made out of abs plastic. The machine was around $15,000 i believe
cool man,ty
So whats the easiest programs to use to nest out designs?
Awesome! Time to head to the hardware store! Thanks.

the programming part is done via computer using G-code. (lots of different software for that) it’s more the controller hardware that can get complicated (unless you spend lots of money on pre-made stuff)
very simple
but how to programing this ?
I love the “Ain’t it pretty” at the end.
how does the motors work with the computer to cut out the stuff btw
and how that all connect
great build =D
Very clever . Awesome.
so…. what is it???
Very inventive. Very American. How many Chinese have copied this video already?
real live Mcgyver !
Congrats…
Your one sick bastard! Love it.
if you could send me some prints on this build it would be much appreciated
Thank You! For this 5 Star Video…
To gain better precision you should use axis from copy machines instead of this rails.
You can get them next to nothing at local scrap yard. I have bought plenty of axis and four steppers (two sanyo-denki) motors for less than 5 $
“we’ll make some stuff”
I say the same thing everyday. I am a cnc student btw
Nice build
It looks easy, but can we see how this CNC machine works? Thanks!
Brilliant!!!
