A modified C-Beam Build with a few Addons

A Custom size CNC to make custom skis and snowboards

A half baked idea for mounting electrics and electronics using a 35mm-DIN-rail-like mounting.

Design Change - Version 2.0 has a smaller foot print, custom gantry supports, and front and back covers. I will use standard V-Slot for gantry supports leaving me enough travel to manufacture the customer supports with this machine when completed. then update to final build. I also plan to install the controller into the front cover and power supply into the back cover. Should be nice and tidy.

The parts are now very reasonable.

Pretty happy with the build, had some difficulty with the software loading up the settings due to me using the wrong com.

I'm new to this whole process, so this is a build by a newbie for newbies.

C-Beam Plate Maker with a larger size of the work area and electronics added.

Hopefully an upgrade of the Z axis of the Workbee.

i would like to build a sturdy motorized photographic copy stand. i have hobbled together a hand crank version using a used umbrella pole but it is not suitable as it is awkward and wobbly.

back stop build

Approximately 910mm x 955mm x 82mm. There is 250mm available in the Z, but the gantry is only 82mm from the bed surface.

The aim of this build is to have a CNC that can cut a FULL sheet of wood when I need it to, but also shrink down and cut smaller sheets the rest of the time. The prototype is based on an OX cnc but soon it will be completely custom using Openbuilds Parts

My ox build

This is a build still in the prototype stage. The initial design is being used to control a 4 axis sample change, but the PCBs when finalized will be able to be adapted as a convenient way to wire stepper (or eventually hybrid stepper) drivers to which ever controller you happen to be using. Current developments center around an Arduino Mega, although more interfaces are planned in the future. The main design centers around the use of Phoenix Connectors.

One of my first projects might be cutting proper plates.

Functional real-world 3D printer build with RM2-2RS bearings in routed V grooves on phenolic resin rails (lab countertop scraps) and NSK 25mm linear rails/trucks.

Started my build of a large Sphinx style cnc Router. I wanted one to handle the Dollar Tree Foam Board (DTFB) so I am making this to handle 2' X 3'. This is my first endeavor for a CNC so I am learning as I go but there is one thing for sure.

Kind of hard to see in this pic now lining up drive s and finishing framework

Open source clock movement stand

My first cnc

The user will input a selection from a variety of pre-established drinks. The user will not need a glass, since it will be provided in the automation process. This completely eliminates the need for a bartender if an RFID purchase system is implemented.

Denford CNC Mill Update

Turning my prototypes into real objects, it will be required a great amount of drawings, A LOT. Therefore, against the ink costs raise price push me to think in a way to draw models, blueprints, etc. at very, VERY low cost. This is where my DrawBot was born

I have constructed frame out of 1 1/2" square tubing. Have my Y aces mounted. and awaiting parts.

Workbee, 1000mmX750mm , from China

I'm starting with the c-beam bundle, and I hope to end up with a pretty useful little platemaker/shallow relief carver. I'm hoping to discover how accurate and efficient it can be.

Adding a rotary axis to the Workbee 1010. Including height modifications to the Workbee.

First router build for speargun fabrication

This is my first CNC router, so be kind on the criticism. I'm still learning. Not an engineer, and not a machinist so I am having to research and learn aspect from both of those areas of study!

A small form factor machine in a soundproof enclosure

Mad plumbers choice what Else can i say?

Similar to C-Beam Machine build, but with inverted Y-axis assembly to shield drive screw. Integrated XZ gantry can be fixed to any solid surface. Build dimensions are 36" x 36" x 6".

A table top version of the open build xl router kit set build. This use of c - beam and xl kit set was coupled with Mach 3 controller running on Dell opti -plex 755 and win 7 pro licence. A Dell opti-plex 755 empty case was used to house the controls and wiring , including the limit switch and emergency stop safety circuits

My attempt at planning out my own CNC router

I will go over the attachments for the PP3 Z axis. soon. Before any thing else .You need to know the first PP3 ,used SKP 7 and Mach 3. Later on they used CNC USB.

You will be following the assembly of the mechanical kit and how i integrate the electronics into the final build.

Toying around a concept. Inputs are welcome on whether to use lead screw or belt drive. My lead screw will be single start 500 mm lenght, 2 mm pitch and 2 mm lead. Nema 17 motors will be used. All veterans, suggestions please.

Epoxy dispenser, 2nd one, first one works great. Uses HMI to allow for operator to pull up files for different jobs. 9 prox sensors, Eot and home on all 3 axis. High quality nema23 motors with intergrated drives from applied motion. Uses programmable router for drives.

This is a K-Cup sealer i constructed does a fine job

a dual extruder build using direct drive for flexible filaments

So I am employed in the automotive industry and I walk by thousands of dollars of CNC products daily that are no use to me due to being a Technologist and not a machinist. So therefore with some research I found openbuilds and their great selection of products to build my own CNC. This CNC will consist of 4 axis one removable 360 degree axis for turning alongside a x axis table Y axis stationary gantry and a Z axis attracted to the Y axis linear actuator.

This build is about a model train lift in a secure and dust free storage. It is a roll on/roll off concept for a model train layout.

The intention of this project is so that the mesh is on the well stretched frame, and thus there is a better production of frames.

Building a printer that can fit inside and operate at ~200 C oven temperatures

The frame of the CNC is going to to Bee a basic Work Bee with maybe 1 modification to the spoil board attachment. This will be located on a custom bench housing the electronics and vacuum. I plan to install Stepper online steppers, drivers, power supplies, and break out board. I will add a 1.5 KW water cooled spindle, with a radiator. The fans from the radiator will pull air from a filtered enclosure for all the electronics.

This will be a slow build as I collect parts and materials as funds permit for 1000mm x 1000mm Workbee. I call it the "Hand Crafted WorkBee" because I will be hand making the plates and as much of the build as possible using a drill press and hand tools.

Massive Delta printer with a print area of 25 Inches (634mm).

A complete noob stumbling thru his first cnc build in winter.. and trying to find the time with 2 toddlers..

C Beam Machine built in a server cab. Hopefully this keeps every thing enclosed , clean and quite ?

I have parts that are apparently not suited to a cnc router or a 3d printer. I am still trying to figure out what to make out of what I have,

Repurposed Steel Table for CNC Router Build.

This build includes the design of a large FDM 3D printer. This machine has a 796mm by 796mm by 900mm (LxWxH) build volume. Motion is controlled by servo motors and the printer runs on python-based marlin firmware.

Not sure if the Blackbox X32 is the right option here, just looking for guidance.

Senior Design Project Bennett Robertson, Megan England University of Iowa College of Engineering

This will be my second CNC build but this time a proper CNC not a small desktop model that I played with for a while to learn Gcode, It was great but now its time to start playing with the big boys and girls.

A Large Printer that will hopefully be able to print at least 45cm cubed

Hoping to build a WorkBee 1000 x 1000 (2000) from parts and not a kit, cannot afford the kit in full so going the long way round...

1m x 1.8m 60w co2 laser build.

First and foremost, I want to create accurate parts for my model aircraft. In second line I am interested in the control and electronics of the milling machine. If you are interested in drawings and the parts list, feel free to contact me.

My workbee build with some add ons

CNC machine using extrusions with linear rails and ball screws on all axes - no plates

Rubber company use as a lathe cutter for accurate cuts compared to hand cutting.

Lead1010 build

Future CNC router kit design

1500*1500*1900 (xyz) Biocomposite Pellet 3D printer

This build will be based on the C-Beam Plate Maker, with additional changes based on other builds and ideas.

At the moment this build is in progress, I will be updating the files as I finish the remainder of the machine. This machine is intended to be a multipurpose CNC, but a bit bigger than a desktop unit. The machine is scalable in the X and Y axis.

Starting the next Laser build, Plan to complete within 60 days.

This items are so cool that they need to be together, so I decided to create brackets that connect both pieces together

Large format laser build for Student use at my school as well as some personal use.

wanted large work area for laser etch/cuts more than spindle work.

My first attempt at building a CNC style machine. Overall my plan is to use the PlanetCNC breakout board and software to run the machine from a dedicated laptop/tablet.

It start out to be an upgrade of a CNC 3018-PRO but ended up being a full build

This project is a Pull tester for material testing or structural testing with stress (force) data logging, I don't have plans for strain logging but that might be down the road.

From plywood and linear rail to c-beam. I probably should have bought a kit.

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

I’m custom building a push table / cart for my cnc machines mostly out things I already had in my garage. Using a gray push utility cart as the main body and building around that.

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

Using basic standard components, beams, motors, belt drive on x and y, z is a screw. Using Grbl Panel on Windows 10. Really basic router, had trouble getting the controller to turn on the router and set speeds so it is currently wired to a power bar switch so it runs full speed and I just use the switch to turn it on and off. Just getting x, y and z control working properly for now and likely going to switch the router to my dremel 4000 using a 3d printed mounting bracket I got from thingiverse

CNC Router with working area 550*550*200

This build summarizes my CNC milling and laser engraving machine conversion from a dimensional lumber frame and electrical mess to an all aluminum frame with a safe and well constructed (IMHO) control system with the resources I had available.

More stuff here.

This is my first build so I will let you know how I get on

3d printable galvos

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

I have built four of these frames. The first pictured I have been using for maybe a year or two and bought the clamps. The last three I have made I have built my own clamps with openbuild parts. I am still working on the design. At present I use wedges to apply pressure to the side of the wood and block. I am working on a cam system to apply pressure. I just bought 8mm screws with Knobs for quicker adjustment. I will update the build when I make these improvements.

A Journey on the WorkBee Build...

Simple upgrade of the Y axis on a Cbeam sphinx from 500mm to 1000mm.
