Just finished my CNC.
Lots of problems but it works... More or less.
Need better steppers and other drivers. But I did it, learned a lot, did lots of mistakes, and don't get me started on debugging hardware...
Z axis unfortunaly can't even pull the motor up lol.

@glitchform two months thinking about doing it...
Two days to do it :p

That is fucking beautiful.

I made mine like 1year ago.

Mine can cut wood. It isnt precise enough to cut pcbs yet. It dosent have the limit switches neithet.

Anyway Good job! Iy definitly looks better than mine job.

@Gregozor2121 nahhh yours is complete, mine is just a concept yet till I get some Nima, like how you used a dremel hehehe. (would trade it for a smaller one but looks nice)

@Gregozor2121 btw is the frame wood or metal?

@konzeptraum thanks.. I took 2 months to get the energy to do it, meanwhile I was gathering materials... So when I finally decided to do it it took one day for each axis and one hour for the program.
Still can't do nothing without better steppers, but I'm glad it's working.
The idea is not to really use it, I'll end up Scrapping it for parts, but to learn the mistakes I'll eventually do when I get to a metal frame.

Btw the Z was a very fast 1-hour hack because I really wanted to test it. that's why it's strapped in. (And it actually worked really well... better then screws)

@GyroGearloose

Plastic. I build it like you: few months of thinking and 4 days of building :P
I eyeballed everything.

If you change the steppers i guarrante you will get more stable, and better cnc than me...
If only i didnt have that lack of motivation i would continue the project...

@Gregozor2121 Same problem here, all the time...
Then I pick up a project and do it from start to finish lol

Ok guys, an important question here...
I'm using screws for the steppers... but I have belts and bet tips for the steppers...
Would using belts allow more torque and speed to the motors and make the thing work faster and stronger?

More tourqe ===== less speed.
Belts: Fast, easy to install but unprecise and small tourqe
Screws: A lot of tourqe, extremly precise but pain to install, possible vibrations, slow.

@Gregozor2121 I see... better stick with the screws then. Just need better steppers... have a few I salvaged but they all have gears I can't take off
