IIOT WiFi Plasma CNC.

In-progress 500x500x1800

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

A 200mm x 300mm x 200mm workhorse that never needs leveling due to Posi-Drive Leveling design.

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

I Like the Sphinx design thought I would attempt my first build. I wanted to build this and use Arduino controller with GRBL to be able to learn and understand my machine.

Hobby project

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

a dual extruder build using direct drive for flexible filaments

Bringing your lead screw precision and accuracy to new lengths using a simplistic tension system!

Another Cartesian style build with parts from the UK, US & China.

Fixed Gantry CNC with good accuracy and rigidity but for a higher price than the usual CNC's on the site.

Denford CNC Mill Update

Automated Media blaster retrofit.

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

This is my 1st submission to openbuilds.com and my 1st venture into building a 3D Printer. The Phoenix 3d Printer is a kit from Ez3D, a company based out of Colorado, started and backed by successful Kick-starter and IndieGogo campaigns. The Phoenix 3d Printer kit is currently backlogged 10 to 12 weeks which means quite a wait. I will be chronicling my experience with this kit as I get it done.

I'm working on a cartesian cnc router for my school research project

This is a 1500 x 1500 Ox build

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

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.

This CNC Router is to 95% made of standard parts and almost all of them from the http://openbuildspartstore.com/.

This is my first cnc router. I like the open builds concept. I bought parts when I had the money. It seems everytime i think i have all the parts, i find something I am missing. My controller won't be ready until the end of the month so I am in no hurry. I will add things that i find. Eager to make some saw dust.

My adventure in CNC routing.

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

build is in process the machine went together perfectly no issues at all but the software is another issue I have been trying to get the thing dialed in it is driving me nuts I'm still in the process will update if I ever get it figured out

A new derivative of the famous OX CNC, with increases strength, rigidity, and accuracy.

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

Modded OX with full nema23 4 point support

A lower profiled machine. Built all out of aluminum. Removable control panel/PC unit. Option for vacuum table and cooling pump for a spindle.

My build of the OX kit from SMW3D.com

C-Beam Router using 1500mm lengths, 48x48" build area, and rack and pinion movement.

Fascinated for some time by 3D Printing. Now, after studying countless forum posts, blogs and similiar stuff, i want to Start with my own build. Maybe a bit much but usually i thrive with the challenge.

This 3D Printer is made to provide the most accurate results with the least amount of investment. This Printer is being designed to allow the common user to own a very accurate piece of machinery.

My ox build

Out with the Old in with the New. Trying to build a nice clean setup that myself and my sons can use and enjoy.

This is my second Ox with a working area of 14" x 14" x 5" I wanted to build a small sturdy potable CNC router and this OxZilla has the nice upgrades !

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

This is a big 609 x 609 x 914 3d pritner with exchangable hot ends and extruders.

1500 x 1500 mm OpenBuild CNC

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.

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

While i achieved the desired taler Z axis this was very notable of the cost of the stiffness of the Y axis - the Y axis is now quite wobbly. i do not recommend such a big Z axis on a OX CNC machine where the requirement is a good precision.

Using criticall OpenBuilds components to upgrade the rigidity and reliability of an X-Carve 1000mm build.

This is my own modified version of the D-Bot printer. I wanted to spec this printer to be able to print exotic materials at high accuracy with little to no compromises and maximum reliability.

This is my OX. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My OX is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.....

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

One of my first projects might be cutting proper plates.

Hi my name is crispin and I'm an aluminum addict.

Probably cheapest DIY build youl see.

inspired by http://openbuilds.org/builds/c-beam-sphinx.3605/

I have the demand to cut/etch tall pieces of material. For this reason, I have designed a machine with 500mm uprights with adjustable gantry height. This way I can raise/lower the sled and z-axis as needed. I've also chosen to use a linear C-channel assembly for the Z axis with the plate mounted to the gantry instead of the other way around. This will allow for maximum range of the z-axis. The parts list/BOM does not include motors/belts/pulleys or electronics.

My original Tevo Tarantula kit was ok..... I had issues with the X gantry staying level. I got rid of the wheels and replaced them with linear block bearings. I still had some issues with the X gantry. I swapped out the plastic parts with aluminum which was much better. Still not what I want yet

Just now in the planning phase of my build. Waiting for some parts to come in to see what I am going to build off of. Print area going to be close to 300x300x350. Trying to decide if I want it enclosed. I do want to print ABS... so probably so.

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

I really like the 4th axis I purchased a few years back, but when I went looking for it again the suppliers who once carried it no longer do. Anyone know who makes it? Center hole receives collets. I own a ShopSmith so I am using a 5/8th rod and can mount it's chucks onto this machine. Also I like the use of the skateboard wheels, they are adjustable and one could use more sets over a longer axis. The Sherline z-axis is not my first choice, I just had a spare.

Cheap, experimental Modification to Tevo Little Monster's bowden system for the extruder

This easy to build and effective system can take your builds to the next level! This design is strong and accurate and could be the solution/upgrade that you've been looking for!

This is a major redesign to the Z-axis of an otherwise stock Shapeoko 2.

The plasma CNC that I have built has a water table that measures 1350mm x 650mm. The water is flooded onto the cut area while cutting and recycled around with a pump. This is to reduce smoke, cool the metal being cut to reduce distortion and also to keep sparks to a minimum. Most of the machine has been made from aluminium , the frame and table from steel, the water table, stainless steel.

This is the build of a cartesian 3d printer made of an old Anet and Geeeteck, some 2020 alu profil and linear rail. Powered by a Rumba with a Nextion screen. It should be modular and accept dual Extrusion and laser engraving.

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

Customised Lead 1010 making it a 1510. T-Track work area with dual Y limit switches for auto-squaring. Powered by xPro v5 & CNC.js

It's a Z floating head idea. Works well. Recommend cleaning the inside of your holes well with Q tips, and polishing the 1/4-20 bolts with car wax and you won't need oil as it slides perfectly. Hope this helps
