Large 10’x6’ vacuum table made from steel tubing and 1/4 inch steel plate

Built from leftover T-Slot extrusions plates and hardware from other defunct projects.

RF 100w laser cutter build, aluminium extrusion

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.

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.

Someone donated a E3D Volcano to me (http://e3d-online.com/Volcano/V6-VOLCANO-POWER-PACK-175-UNIVERSAL-24V) and with a super hotend like that, it feels like a waste to stick it into a small 3D printer. So I decided I want a 320x220mm (XY) machine, 200mm Z is plenty for me

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

A build which is based on a metal frame and aluminium plate which I salvaged from a skip. The frame is sized to hold 19" rack units so I'll build my control box into a 3U rack unit (also salvaged). The area available for the build is 700x1200mm. I'll sling a 60W CO2 tube under the base, the beam path will be initially upward into the enclosure.

How i construct and create my DIY Co2 Laser cutter and engraving mashine. details will follow

Easy All-in-One Laser and Mounting Kit for your Openbuilds CNC.

CNC laser with GRBL firmware on board

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..

Mag arm deltabot with laser cut carriages and connectors.

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

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

This is a design for a desktop CNC machine. It may be a router or laser. I am undecided as to the final design.

Building of a big open frame laser engraver.

This is a 80w laser which I am building (picture of the case) the frame is constructed with normal square tubing with plastic corners. this laser needs to live outside

Work in Progress of a laser cutter design. Based on the CoreXY build from https://makerstore.com.au

2in1 ( 3dPrint+laser Engraving )

3d printable galvos

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

A new design of my based on a couple different machines I have seen both on openbuilds and youtube. In the end will have a and X/Y workspace of 1250mm x 1000mm and a Z axis range of about 200mm.

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 :)

The next level of CNC motion control solutions. Packed with advanced new features and built on the reliability of the proven BlackBox system

Multi-tool 3D printer, laser cutter, and CNC mill.

I am building a Laser cutter based off Robert Hummel's Laser V design.

i had som left over parts and i dit like to test the corexy control so this is wat i came up with. sorry bad englich.

Large 6 x 10 foot laser table build. New to building CNC

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

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/ )

This is a work in progress

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

4foot by 2 foot, 10W El-Cheapo blue laser

CoreXY based CNC Laser machine.

Full aluminium profiles construction. Synrad 50w CO2 laser. Ruida controller. Yaskawa servo motors

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

Hopefully this will be a quick guide to one way that you can add a laser to an existing CNC router.

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.

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.

Built a 32"x40" ACRO Kit for my 10watt Endurance Laser. Put it in a stand alone clamshell cabinet, added a 340cfm 6" fan and variable speed switch for the fan. Using LIght Burn for my primary software. It seems to be work well.

Belt driven 3-axis linear system for high precision and low costs. > Threading and linear real cutting needed

This is my version of the OpenBuilds ACRO System CNC, a 1010 version (1000mm x 1000mm). I need this machine to build PCB prototypes within 2-days at maximum. I will try to build PCBs using drill and laser methods...

Corexy, with possible head change (3d, cnc, laser)

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

This is a stool, designed in 18mm wood for a cnc router, it's easily scaleable to different wood-thicknesses, in 18mm wood it takes up 1200*1200mm. It can be assembled without screws, nails or glue and can therefore also be easily disassembled.

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

300x300 belt drive laser etching/cutting platform. The design was borrowed from another's blog and customized to fit materials on-hand. Was a very fun project to assemble.
