In this post I will show you my homemade CNC-mill.
The mill is entirely made of stuff you can get at the hardwarestore.
I did not use pricy step-motors but cheap and strong geared motors from electric screwdrivers.
Threaded rods were used to create a prepulsion-mechanism.
This is the Z-axis.
X and Y axis:
Just attached my dremel and milled the first piece.
Holy cow, that's pretty awesome. Can't wait to see what it's capable of.
ReplyDeleteThat seems fun! Wish I had some mechanical skills.
ReplyDeleteOMG Genius! ._.
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take to make that?
ReplyDeleteThat does seem like fun. Cool stuff man
ReplyDeleteYou make all this shit on your own? That's crazy.
ReplyDeleteThat is damn cool, I was looking at DIY CNC mills a while back but this is simpler and more straightforward than most
ReplyDeleteWow, sehr schick!
ReplyDeleteIs there a chance to get hands on that blueprints? im looking for a cheap cnc to cut pvc with it.
regards Daniel
Hey! Danke!
DeleteNein leider gibts keine Pläne, alles nacheinander aus dem Kopf zusammengebaut! Gewindestangen, Schrittmotoren, paar Kugellager und Bretter dann klappt das gröbste schon!
Cutting parts looking nice.Great experience of cutting parts.Nice work done.
ReplyDeleteStepper motors are used for precision, x number of pulses = x number of steps = x distance. I'm no expert at all, I'm currently in the build stage, but to my knowledge the few different types of CNC control software that I've messed around with so far for checking that my drivers are working properly, send step pulses over parallel or serial port, or in the case of Pronterface USB. This would not work with other types DC or AC motors. How or what software are you using to control these screwdriver motors? Even though you would completely through accuracy out the window, I still think it would be cool to be able to mess around with brushless DC motors as an axis control method. I'm interested to see how this project turns out.
