How to modularize the 3D Systems Cube 3 extruder nozzle.

Berrybot inspired delta 3d printer with a few other tweaks and modifications.

Portable, high-speed, low-cost advanced multi-tool desktop factory derived from LulzBot Taz and TazMega.

Very stout 2'x4' machine with a deep Z axis

Inspired by previous Sphinx builds by Sorin (w/ MGN Rails) and Kenneth's witthuhnCNC XKLBR-1S. I wanted to create a desktop unit that kept a minimal profile and neatly contained the PS, Controller, and all wiring, making it a singular unit that could be easily transportable (as it will be doing double duty at my home and at work)

Super solid core xy build inspired by the e3d tool changer

Wanna quet an nice looking device done by my hands

XDrive 3d printer, high quality large build volume.

Prusa mini inspired 3d printer

A little project for a rainy day which some, like me, may find useful.

Major rebuild of my Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus.

My first printer! I went for a simple cartesian design, based on evilc66 one. It uses 1000 mm C-beam linear actuators. The build volume is 700x700x700 mm^3.

A modern take on a Kossel

This is the adult version of the QU-BD juvenile known as their OneUp. It not only uses extrusion framing instead of press board MDF, it is a full sized 8x8 build area w/ABS-Nylon capability. Only the OneUp's single Z axis driver concept is similar. I'm tempted to call it OneUpAdult for marketing.

The goal is to have a relatively strong CNC to be able to cut alu. Working space will be around 800x350x100mm.

Inexpensive plasma table. Accurate, fast, and low maintenance.

1500 x 1500 mm OpenBuild CNC

Fully welded, fixed gantry CNC router, with chinese linear motion parts, in progress

A plasma table able to cut 4'6" x 8'8" sheet. Low cost as possible.

This is the original C-Beam Sphinx with the 16 wheel X gantry plates. I'm using the Ethernet Smoothstepper, Gecko G540 stepper driver and Mach 4 for motion control.

CNC MILLING ROUTER

Small CNC - made with some custom lasercut+bent sheetmetal parts + Openbuilds V Slot

CNC laser with GRBL firmware on board

Aluminum-framed enclosure for TAZ 6 3d Printer made with Makerlink.

T-slot, v-slot, aluminum angle make up the majority of the structure.

A stout 3D printer build with the hopes of being able to serve as a light mill (PCB) and laser engraver

I have always wanted to work with CNC machinery...a few years back I got my chance to learn some basics at the Double Glazing Company where I was employed (very basic I might add) before the firm folded and I was made redundant...I wanted to continue learning and when I came across this site which push affordable machines I thought I'd give it a go. So I purchased a !000mmx750mm Screw Driven Workbee from Ooznest and I'm about to embark on my quest as many have done before me...Wish me Luck!

just wanted to share my build of a huge 3d printer. It stands just over 2 meters tall and has a total print area of around 850mm x 850mm.

A quick and easy way to make a 3-way mitered corner using Corner Connectors

Lord willing I will be showing you how build a robust and easy to build 3D printer framework using V-Slot rails and rollers. It's a little bulky, but it has all spring tensioned rollers on all axes, and can be built entirely without custom machining on any parts. You will need digital calipers, a drill press, a carbide toothed miter saw for cutting aluminum extrusions, and lots of little screws!

Not much to say... Soundproofing box for noisy works... Build in MDF and 20 mm plexiglas. Very effective!!!

Building the OB Lead 1515 was straight forward. The on-line OpenBuilds assembly videos were extremely clear and easy to follow. Initial build of this machine is with OpenBuilds BlackBox which simplified getting the electronics to work the first time. OpenBuilds staff are friendly and helpful.

Here is the consolidation of my woodworking shop, a CNC Router!

A small build using some small vslot scrap piece which shows the versatlity of the v-slot system

This is an automatic cocktail mixer made with 8 small peristaltic pumps. this is driven with the touch screen or over wifi. the controller used is a raspberry pi with a Apache webserver

Theoretical Working Area: 360x360x75mm Actual Working Area: 300x300x75mm Will Update Later

Killerbee 1515 with modifications.

The 3D printer will be able to print 2x2x2m components and not just in PLA or ABS. It's not just a DIY printer but I'm trying to apply engineering formulas to make it. I'm going to apply the state of art for 3D printing and scannering existing.

Roberta Clementine's first daughter printer Alice Clementine!

OpenBuilds CNC 500x500

I will write a short buildlog here with mostly pictures. I designed this lasercutter in solidworks(not totally finished) for a good overview and such that the steel tubes could be lasercut by a company, the metal frame is based on the lasercutter the KÄSER, which you can find on cnczone.nl. The mechical parts are designed by myself because I had no mill to my use, so the mechnical parts are lasercut(same company as tube) steelplates welded together.

A small router for thin plate stock

Hell Yeah

This is a small desktop CNC inspired by the Mini OX project. It's designed with the nema 17 motors in mind. It's a 650mm x 500mm machine that it will be used to mill cast acrlic.

Simple enclosure for the OB Minimill

This Project is meant to teach introductory robotics and arduino styled micro-controllers to HS and MS students.

This is my interpretation of the OB Minimill, what I've changed so far, and what may continue to change as my requirements change.

This is a cnc router with 3 axis and a kress 1050 motor. Its 140x120cm and a homebuild with your help!

Two plus years in the making, I finally have a working ACRO 510 laser engraver system complete with enclosure and air filtration.

Getting an accurate scan of a golf ball can be difficult with general-purpose 3D scanners. This purpose-built golf ball scanner uses a very accurate Keyence LK-081 laser displacement sensor with an Open Builds linear actuator for the vertical axis and a Sherline CNC rotary table for the turntable. Scan detail is determined by the sample step size and can be set arbitrarily based on desired scan time.

Open source 3D printer with very powerful heated bed and light weight x axis design. Full source repository can be found here: https://github.com/a-drizzle/Printer1

The first criteria was portability, the second was cutting out a sheet of ply, the third was the ability to shape a foam surfboard blank, but the main criteria was a small budget.

Replacing the Pro Light control box with a Open Builds BlackBox.

Video diary C-Beam XL build with massive steppers and a 1.5kW Chinese spindle.

This is the largest printer I have found. It is also the cheapest. The reason is that it is run by hand, without computer or motors or electronics. Put an object on one side and move the 3d pen while tracing the object. Move the z dimension by turning the crank on the lab jack to move the printed copy down a notch. Be creative!

I've been working on commercial woodworking CNC's for year's under shop owner's that didn't want me to progress any further at a certain point. This is a project I've wanting to build for about 10 years now. I can't wait for the freedom to build what I know is possible without any negative input.

Micro Ox Build

This project is focused on developing a low-cost, portable and open-source FDM 3D Printer.

Increase Z axis travel by 20-25mm with minimal modifications

An OX Router I'd like to modify to improve the frame rigidity and resolve some alignment problems

A modified 1000x1000 Sphinx, with a built in vaccum table.

Cheap chinese K40 laser upgrades, including 60x30cm working area, MKS or SKR controllerboard (smoothieware or marlin, not yet decided.) Light, psu and a bit more :)

I have tested my Opt Lasers laser module on a "open" frame for some time. Decided that I want to test a corexy setup and combine it with a boxed/enclosed design - my goal is to get high precision + a safe setup with protection from the laser light + a fan to extract the smoke/exhaust..

Stabilus 3d Large Format Printer Kit

I built this as it is a small portable design.

C-Beam XL with v-slot aluminum bed for fixturing.

My goals for this build were to eliminate slop and flex while also allowing easy serviceability.

My First major improvement was changing the controller to a Acorn board. I loved the way a dedicated userinterface was speeding up my workflow. Next project my Y Axis. On Aliexpress I ordered a couple of 16mm ballscrews and some lineair rail. Before I took my gantry off I quickly made some aluminium profiles to fit my carriages. Withouth any doubt these improvements where worth it

Initial design for my CNC mill\router based around C beams

This is a Sphinx variation, aimed to minimize footprint and maximize workarea. Work in progress.

First time CNC user having a good time with a MiniMill

This is my build for an ACRO system with a custom z-axis for changing z height for focusing or for adjusting depth when making multiple passes when cutting.

All metal frame 500mm bed Delta 3D printer

Not completed yet but it does work, I will be changing small things as I finish the build and I have learned a lot from this build I am looking forward to finishing this one and Building another maybe larger table.

Another modification on the OX

A framing design for cantilever style printers

Create a ball screw carrier with out BF BK bearing blocks.

v-slot linear actuator build.

Cartesian type 3d printer build

After seeing different egg bots designs, I decided to incorporate my own design.

First build of a Lead 1515!

A Sphinx Linear rail build (600mm x 600mm) hence the title Sphinx66. Plates supplied by Chris Laidlaw. Linear rails used MGN15

This will be a step by step record charting my successes and failures in my voyage of discovery while building a CNC router. Please excuse my English-English which may lose something in translation to American-English. I would be grateful for any advice during the build

Its the first build for me so its just the story of me attempting to build the kit and hopefully end up with something I can use. Hopefully without destroying anything or anyone.

This build is specific to a furniture design I am trying to bring to market. My first attempt to build a machine. I have looked at other build submissions to help me figure out where I would like to start. The workable volume should 36" W x 6" D x 6" T. The goal is to become more comfortable with the electronics side of machines I enjoy using and also lower the cost of my product by reducing man hours in the manufacturing process. Yay!

I used the cad designs for the c beam to find a solution to my initial sourcing problem. I figured that I could use 2x 20x20 and 1x 20x80 Profil to create a c beam actuator. I sourced all of the profiles from a local machin builder and t-nuts and screws in my local hardware store. Some parts are currently in 3d printed pla for testing reasons.

An USB Pendant for LinuxCNC / Mach3

Core-XY build witha quad nozzle

Build a 1x1 Sphinx/Sphinx XL style CNC.

I'm building a CNC router in my garage (almost finished!) and I'm keeping a video build log of the process in the hope it may be useful to others wanting to do the same. I don't have much in the way of fancy tools so expect a bit of innovation on the way!

This is my first CNC router build. I want to gain basic CNC building experience so I can go on to build other items such as a frosting or pancake printer.

Z-Axis upgrade with linear rails, SFU1204 Ball Screw and full aluminium construction.

Created a small Z axis for the ACRO motion system. I wanted to more easily adjust the height of the laser to accommodate various thicknesses of material, without having to manually loosen screws to adjust. Also wanted to be able to vary the height for multiple cutting passes on some materials. Try to stick to a similar aesthetic as the original ACRO system and plates.

I built a motion control camera slider with the V-Slot® NEMA 17 Linear Actuator Bundle (Belt Driven)

An OX clone with alternative parts.

Leveling Platform / Stand 3D Printers

It startet in May with some leftovers from a cnc router build. Now in the middle of December its 99% finish. Everything is lowcost, spend about 1600$ so far.

A Miter Saw station built using a Dewalt Miter Saw Stand and V-Slot extrusions.

This machine is controlled by a Mach3 BOB. I USED Nema 34 stepper motors and a 3kw, water cooled spindle. I’m in the process of adding a vacuum table with 4 zones. I have an X-carve so I use Easel to create G-code for the large machine. I’m currently looking for a way to stabilize the Y-axis. It wiggles a little, so I want to add another linear rail high on both sides.

In order to make some nice traveling video you need a slider .
