Another MiniMill, different to the OpenBuilds version and potentially more flexible because of the design.

Step by step designing and implementing of my plasma approach

This build is a modified Ox build. The long rails are 1000mm. My build includes a solid clamping table.

Somewhat Simple Lead screw conversion for an OX CNC.

Modified Tevo

Yes another K40 Franken machine dedicated for round objects,,,

Per the special notes its a variant of the C-Beam, Machine.... I have noticed that alot of people build a CNC router to cut parts for other larger CNC machines.. eg Delta Printers etc....plus this will enable me to cut parts for model RC plans UAV's etc...

I will update this as I go, cad files upon request. My x beam is basically a belt driven r7

My large printer design. 400mm build plate, ~1000mm build height. Most of structure is 8020 but the sliders are V-Rail

Y-1200 Build The Y-1200 has a cutting area of 1200 x 600mm and the main chassis has a external size of 1620 x 955 x 450mm. The recommended power output is 60-90W, this can also be increased with the use of an extension box. designed by furtherfabrication ROB CHESNEY FREELANCE INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER.

Fast, Large build area, CoreXY design

The STEAM Crane 3d printer uses the new C-Beam linear rail. It is being developed for an after school / summer camp program for kids. All of the electronics are housed in the base and the wiring is routed down the channels of the c-beam. This is done to contain as much of the loose wiring as possible, hopefully keeping it safer for kids.

ANOTHER OX!~ Huge Thanks to Marc Carew and Open Builds. The primary reason I am building this CNC mill is to aid in my homemade snowboard creation. I am going to try and document as much of everything as I can and post it here to help others going a similar route. I know from past projects that taking the time to document each step can be tedious when you want to charge ahead but I will try! I hoping to get feedback on my design choices and set up as I am a complete newbie to CNC.

In the design stage. Help guide.

Simple Swing Arm Build for the Modular Table Series. Create a simple vacuum swing arm that swings over your machine keeping your vacuum hose and router cord, etc. up and out of the way

A CNC router designed to handle a 4'x8' sheet, for as close to $2000 as possible. The price barrier resulted in my choice to use timing belts rather than leadscrews or rack&pinion. Build List still being updated

The purpose of this build is to create a simple, strong modular build that is rugged enough to cut out some of the softer metals along with wood and plastics. Using basic parts like the universal plates, t-nuts and v- wheels coupled with the strength of C-Beam I am sure this will deliever the desired results!!

A large format, modular, rack and pinion build designed around OpenBuilds components.

Stacked CoreXY Motion System using only Openbuilds components

ive got most of the wire harness made up too im using Chinese electronics for now I will upgrade later when this thing makes me some cash lol im using a ibm think center to case to hold my electronics ive got a 25' parallel cable to put some distance between the table and the computer

Well I built a C-Beam XL around a year ago, I am still learning things as I make stuff with it, it has been quite a wonderful learning experience. Now I have gained enough confidence and knowhow to Mill the required Plates to build an Acro Laser System using the Acro Laser Sketchup Model. I have pulled the Model apart in Sketchup, isolated the Plates and generated the G-Code to cut/Mill the plates. I have used Sketchucam to generate the G-Code. I Use Mach3 on my C-Beam XL to Mill.

A beefed up minimill, ready to gnaw on some aluminum! HG15 linear rails, a thick heavy column, bellows and easy fixturing and tramming.

ELECTRONICS - ARDUINO Mega 2560 + RAMPS 1.4 + power supply 12V - Leadshine DM 5042 external driver + Power supply 36V + NEMA 23 stepper motor SOFTWARE - Repetier Host to communicate with the Ramps - ARDUINO to upload the firmware (Marlin) MECANIC - V-Slots rails 40x40 + home-made plates - everything goes fine on the side of the build

My take on a non affordable slider.

This a redesign of the Folger-Tech Y-Carriage using the Solid V-Wheels, Ball Bearings, the V-Slot Rail System.

This build log will chronicle the construction of my oversize (1000mm X 1500mm) OX router.

Concept for a Prusa i3 made from Cbeam Extrusion. X & Y using GT2 Belts, Z using Acme Screws Goal is to build a simple. and very Solid Printer Single Z Motor to keep the Z Screws in Sync. (Might require Geared Nema 17) 12" x 12" x 12" Build volume Nema 17's

build is in process the machine went together perfectly no issues at all but the software is another issue I have been trying to get the thing dialed in it is driving me nuts I'm still in the process will update if I ever get it figured out

This will be a chronicle. It's my first CNC build so, I will be making many changes as I learn from my mistakes. I will pass on any tips or tricks i learn along the way. This build is an OX Hybrid. I decided to use the open rail with the V wheels and not to go with the V Slot. (I'll let you know how it works out.)

This is Fina; My Lautr3k inspired build.

Low cost, apple crate framed CNC.

CoreXZ implementation on 3d printer using Openbuild and RobotDigg parts.

Cartesian Printer, 200mm x 200mm x 380mm build area, enclosed, belt and pinion movement, heated bed, Raspberry Pi, Pi Cam, OctoPrint

Laser CNC, 60W, didn't have one yet... have to :) This build is a retrofit of a surgical laser into a CNC.

Machined Aluminum MagBall Carriages

A Large CoreXY build that can just barely get in through a doorway, aiming for under $1000. Build Volume approximately 18in x 24in x 26in.

OX MultiMachine

Making a bellows to cover a C-beam to prevent swarf from gumming up the works.

Another build based on the venerable OX. xPRO CNC controller, and a few extras.

The Tiger Paw will be a 1000mm X 500mm Cartesian style CNC with the Minimill attached to the end. It is named the D&R Tiger Paw because my son, Daniel, and myself, Richard, will put this Tiger strong and fast machine together. Our goal is to have a Tiger strong build with a Paw print that wouldn’t take up a huge amount of space in our garage.

How to build an Independent Dual EXtruder (IDEX) 3D printer from OpenBuilds parts.

This is a Delta build using 1610 ballscrews from China

An all metal construction cartesian style 3D printer with a very rigid frame that has the flexibility to function as a desktop milling station or laser cutter with appropriate user designed attachments. Design is scaleable to suit any size requirement. All axis are leadscrew driven. V-Slot and Mini V-wheels have been utilised for the linear rails.

http://www.buildlog.net/sm_laser/drawings.html using this as a baseline.... Going to try and use all or most off the shelf parts.

A proper CNC mill conversion. But quite small, with my trademark idiosyncracies.

A bigger OX. As this build is nothing new I will detail my build process, I am not an experienced builder, this will maybe help someone else. The size of the bOX will be 100cmx75cm. I will use aluminium plates, a tinyG, and most probably only open source / free software.

This is an automatic bartender- a BarBot, designed to be made with off-the-shelf OpenBuilds, V-slot and low-cost 3D printer parts.

After expanding a Shapeoko 2 with the rails and motors left over, make yourself a laser engraver.

Z-Axis Upgrade For My Sphinx

Behemoth cnc router build in progress using hiwil rails and closedloop servos.

We plan experiment on nylon 3 D printing;

The Roberta Clementine a proof of concept and progenitor to the series of printers I will be calling the Clementine Sisters. The printer is named after Pittsburgh Pirates baseball player Roberto Clemente. Although it is more accurate to say the printer is named after the school I work for which is named after Clemente the Roberto Clemente Charter School. http://www.myrccs.com Roberta is the first and not really built to last but instead built to test ideas and to produce the parts for successors

It is a first draw of my future Printer/CNC cutter.PCB mill Still need to work more on it

My OX cnc upgrade.

Ball screw drive, linear rail CNC Kit

Pretty much a straight OPENBUILDS OX that slowly getting some modifications.

This is a router that I designed that is loosely based on the Openbuilds Ox, but designed to be heavy duty, rigid, and yet quick and agile.

This is a mount I wanted to build for a laser project using OpenBuilds part router mount.

You are about to read the evolution of my 3d Printer build.

So in short this build is a work in progress; it aims to make a large 3d printer, medium size CNC mill and a small plasma cutter all in one CNC unit.

An OX build - little large than specs and plates 3D printed

This printer is a design that has evolved over three years. The original goals of this project were to design a rigid printer that had a large print volume, 300mm^3, with easily sources parts and a minimum of complicated printed parts.

All metal CoreXY 3D Printer Design with triple z, kinematic bed, and scalable corexy mechanism.

1000mm x 1500mm OX router using Openbuilds parts and plates by Chris Laidlaw

Drag knife and pen holder which mounts in spindle collet.

In progress CNC, (just design for the momment), I want to get some feedback about the design and the possible flexion of the aluminum profiles chosen

This build is inspired by the Lulzbot Taz printers and makes use of the new OpenBuilds C-Beam

My self-designed and built, tall-format coreXY printer with 300 x 300 x695 mm print capacity.

Planning my first build. Hope to achieve a larger format yet rigid design.

The crypt-cube is another project I've been working on off and on over the past year, unlike my previous built C3DO this is a much smaller built with a volume of 318mm x 240mm x 220mm. With this build my main focus is precision and speed.

This is a small desktop vacuum former that can be connected to a shop-vac and an electric heat source (like a grill for instance). You can control the time each appliance stays turned on, and the vacuum is automatically turned on when the tray is placed on top of the model. The vacuum table is 20x20cm wide, and I've tested it mostly with 1mm thick PET sheets.

Laser CNC made with mostly Openbuilds and amazon sourced components. Lots of 3d printed components as well. The main purpose is to cut EVA foam.

Building upon the great work done by Marshall Peck and others. I have started a new build.

For my first Openbuilds project, I decided to put together an OX CNC Router.

Compact Dedicated Rotary Axis Laser Engraver

Trying to build a low cost table saw fence using v-wheels

The k40 cube is a laser cutter build using mostly stock parts of the chinese k40 laser

This is my journey from a dream machine to a practical (for me) machine. This is a Cartesian style frame that can change tool heads quickly. The first version will have milling and 3D printing tool heads. Later on I'll add a drag knife tool head.

This is a cartesian CNC Router build that is based off the OX CNC build by Mark Carew. I am using Spark Concepts CNC xPro controller board and their 400w spindle kit.

Powder coated multi CNC Z Axis plasma adapter with Proximity sensor. . It can also hold a 80mm Router head/Spindle as seen in my router build.

A Workbench idea built from V-slot and openbuilds parts.

3.8 W laser add-on for C-Beam machine. Can easily be swapped with the router.

Building of a big open frame laser engraver.

OpenBuilds box type printer using min-v-wheels for X & Y axis. Designed for plexiglas panel enclosure of build area.

Major K40 Laser Mod

Basing this build on the C-Beam machine XL on the parts store, but added a few things to make it more like the C-Beam XXLarge "Tank" by Dollarz81. Going with the Dewalt 611 instead of a water cooled spindle at first. May change down the road. Using a Panucat Gradus M1 controller with BigFoot drivers.

Standard OX Build

C-beam Plate Maker V-slot Table System to aid in clamping and setup of jobs.

My build of the OX kit from SMW3D.com

A standard 1000x1000 Workbee powered by an X-controller using a Hitachi router

Upgrading printers for Synchronous Leveling

A 2 axis laser engraving machine, with a manual Z axis.

With the textile machine bearing feel better strength, better durability 用纺织机轴承感觉强度要好一些，耐用性更好

This is basically a Sphinx variant with few changes of my own...hope it'll work.

DIY design and build of a roughing 2' by 3.5' CNC router

Hi! This build is, or at least should be, a multipurpose box (mBOX). Due to limited space I want to build something that can serve multiple purposes such as 3d printing, 3d scan, plexiglass cutting and hopefully some milling too (both wood and metal). Switching between modes should involve switching heads and worksurface (change heatbed with a wood platform and viceversa). (for the scan part I'm thinking of integrating this opensource project into the frame: http://www.freelss.org/ )

probably as big as you'd want it...

inspired by http://openbuilds.org/builds/c-beam-sphinx.3605/

A version of TrueUp using linear bearings/rods for the Z axis. This required enough modification to make a separate OpenBuilds project to avoid confusion for DIYers.
