This slider uses an 500mm OpenBuilds C-beam and the design is such that the effective length of the slider is slightly less then twice the length of the C-Beam. It can be used both motorized or not.

Short description of my assembly and use of the C-Beam bundle from the Open Builds Part Store.

A larger version of the OX.

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

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

1500 x 1500 mm OpenBuild CNC

An easy simple Tape Dispenser, spawned out of necessity, and shared for the fun of it...

In short...this was a fun project.

This build is intended as a light alternative to the Dremel rotary tool.

C-Beam Plate maker for My OX!

This is a Delta build using 1610 ballscrews from China

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

Document my OX build process. I will also be sharing SolidWorks parts files & assemblies.

My own Design (not an OX Derivative) using standard Parts.

Optical home and limit switches for cnc, 3D printers, laser cutters, etc.

C beam cnc modified

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

What I want to build is a unit to: rout wood, plastic and occasional aluminium . to be able to swap cutters. i.e. drragknife, laser, router, drill

My first openbuilds submission, plain old c-beam machine. Seems like I've spent more time fighting the forum here redirecting in circles than actually building the machine. I'll try to add more pics if I ever find a path out of this corn maze...

First venture into cnc machining I decided on the C-Beam .

An easy Epic Win for novice engineers new to the RepRap project www.3distributed.com

This is the first project that I would like to share with you. I know the build looks familiar and it is; it’s based on kram242´s Routy. Work area is 300*500*55 mm and is NEMA17/GT2 belt driven.

Low cost, apple crate framed CNC.

The Ronin OX is a dedicated fiber composite milling machine. I give a complete in-depth article on how to take a nearly stock OX build and easily turn it into something that can mill carbon fiber and G10 plate effectively and quickly.

In this, the final part, I would like to introduce Machine Vision and show how it can be used, not only for tool position setting but also for resolving the triangle to calculate the G68 (local system rotated) for jobs which are not squarely placed on the work table.

Expands y-axis to 1000mm. 1/2 day build.

A System of 3d printed parts to use along with your projects aluminum extrusion to cut your pieces of v-slot to length manually.

The name of the printer is G&C Printer from Good & Cheap Printer. My goal was to design an printer that was good print quality and was cheap. The total cost of the printer is about 490€.

Mega-sized Taz machine. Supports many tools (extrusion, laser, mill, etc) simultaneously.

Here is a nice little simple build that will help to free up some extra space on your work bench. If your like me you need all the room on your work station you can use, so this is great to have.

Leveling Platform / Stand 3D Printers

My build of the OX kit from SMW3D.com

Mag arm deltabot with laser cut carriages and connectors.

I have wanted a 3D printer for a while. I had thought to convert my ShapeOko machine to a 3D printer BUT after looking at having to replace the electronics with new and the small form factor. I went looking for a kit which would do what I want. Well I found it. It is the MakerFarm i3v printer.

Build the efficient and reliable all metal structure 3D Printer. Improved significantly with new concepts for printers. Great quality and up to 400 mm/s print speed (very fast). Built with heated bed, hybrid bowden suspended extruder, and counterweight (tested printing 21 hours straight with no motors hot). Optional smart controller for computerless printing. Print any kind of thermoplastic.

The frame is made from all open builds parts, add the rubber feet and pads for the glass. The glass is clear 12" x 16" x 1/4" with a polished edge. A light basket slides on the countertop.

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

Yet Another Openbuilds Router, my version :-)

This is a work in progress 3D printer Dimensions are 230x230x340mm height. Print dimensions are: 135x135x160mm. Prototype has a bowden extruder with a J-head hotend. Assembly instructions: http://reprapstyle.blogspot.pt

Great bit of kit time will tell if it is up to the job

OX build with 1.5m gantry the 1m deep table.

A small, quiet and clean desktop CNC designed for fine cutting.

A compact portable DIY camera slider for time lapse photography using a GoPro.

2x4 Ox with Vac table

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

I like this design a lot. It's very stable, very strong and with the EX2 enhancements, it prints like a champ.

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.

High Power DC MOSFET

Custom build plate for 300mm x 300mm (12"x12"). The hole pattern is for the 20x60 V Slot

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

Building the full size OX.

SMD AVR Solderless Daughter Board

A practical rotating and stand-alone spool holder which fits any filament extrusion 3D-printer. Several base files provided which make it fit different extruded aluminium profiles.

Our version of the OX, a Cartesian CNC Router Build. 1,500 mm Y-Axis, 1,000 mm X-Axis, 300 mm Z-Axis - Lots of Fun!

A portable foam cutter to make your forms everyware using a LiPo Battery.

The Echinus Team change the Firmware from "Teacup" to "Marlin". I use this board in my 3D Printer and it works very good! So I write a short report.

Realisation of my idea about a foldable collector for rainwater, which is light and easy to make. People around the world need water and can collect rain water with this collector. I made it for syria and all too.

Delta printer that uses printed carriages sliding on aluminium extrusions.

The method used for tool position setting is a matter of personal choice but this is what I do.

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