This build focuses on the basics to provide a good foundation to further enhance the ability to achieve tight tolerances

Phlatprinter foam cutting CNC machines are awesome space saving mills that use a rotary axis as a sheet feed.

A cool project about my cnc machines unique style.

The Phlatprinter 3 was designed to be used in a small shop with the ability to cut large sheets of foam for RC airplane projects. The idea was that you could save all of your aircraft as models and tweak to perfection after every flight.

This is my first major project.

So we have new plates, stronger motors, belt drive reduction, but what should we do with them? In this article you might find the answer you were looking for as we took an “old” C-Beam machine and started to upgrade the X/Z body and added more torque and precision to the Z-axis.

Phlatprinter MKII Foam Cutting Machine

setup for learning 5x

C-Beam machine - 1000mm base.

I could not "tram" the spindle to the table. I found that the V Rails could not accurately be adjusted so the Gantry was equal distance from the spoilboard in multiple places.

Steel square tube frame with dual feed gantry and indexing lathe section. Will have 36" x 30" x 6" travel. Has a Harmonic Drive on the 4th Axis.

A horizontal-router CNC using openbuilds parts geared toward routing out mortise and tenon joinery; or any other end grain work on wood.

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

This build was very complex due to the fact I wanted to create a low cost larger than normal CNC. I did not want a MDF or plastic body. I wanted it to be able to do more than most CNC routers this size on the market.

A wonky build to eliminate slop on a long Z axis

China Router frame with linear bolts, Nema23 and the icing on the cake “open build parts“

An affordable large CNC machine, that so far has been easy to assemble

A compact, strong machine with very high Z clearance, yet can still mill aluminium easily.

Standard build with high Z using a Gauss probe instead of a router.

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

This cnc milling machine is 3 meters by 30 meters,

A C-Beam machine design, strengthened with extra brackets and plates. GRBL controlled, opto-isolated inputs, jogging box.

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.

Small Form factor based 3 axis Gantry style mill, Removeable mechanical module. Removable Electronics. with a removable machine pallet, for automation.

CNC Router with working area 550*550*200

www.cncforeveryone.com TITAN CNC ROUTER is the perfect PCB milling machine or for smaller projects. Don't be fooled by its small size it is capable of routing with the big boys...!

Workbee, 1000mmX750mm , from China

Generic 6 Axis (Stepper) Controller

Double C-beam Y axis 500mm., Double 2080 X axis 600mm. , C-beam Z axis 250mm, TB-6600 drivers, MKS-DLC32v2 GRBL w/wi-fi and blue tooth

This is a build for those of us that want to work fairly large but are in a tight space and budget

This is a fully loaded Lead 1010 and located in a shed measuring 3 by 2.50 meters. Here i build my guiyats by hand and the help of my Openbuilds friend! Pure for hobby.

Building a Phlat based CNC for MDF processing. Capacity of 48" x unlimited length.

Acquiring a CNC has been on my list for some time now. This concept is a bare bones, upgradeable machine that will not require a complete rebuild when new parts become available. With a cutting surface over 36" square, this beast should be capable of creating its own parts. Lowering the price to make upgrading and making this contraption beefier, faster, and more precise.

Dewalt 611 Router mount for mounting onto 20x60 v-slot

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

CNC OX 1500X3000

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

Reworked PhlatPrinter Gen1 Adding dual nema 17s to all 3 axis Supprot for carriage to insure even dept cuts Lighting for view of cutting area

2x4 cutting area, enclosed with dust collection mainly built out of wood.
