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

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

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

A cabinet to keep a constant temperature for pizza or bread mother dough to grow.

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

More stuff here.

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.

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

3d printable galvos

Using the WorkBee to protect doctors against Corona virus.

CNC Glass cutter

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

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.

This is a totally original build of an od id grinder and thread grinder, I hope.

A Journey on the WorkBee Build...

C-Beam XL upgraded with end-stops, E-stop, and cable chain. Running GRBL on Arduino Mega.

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

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.

Ventilator prototype based of OpenBuilds Stock parts

Cartesian style CNC with a working area of around 360mm x 360mm x 120 mm (X, Y, Z) using Linear rails and ball screws. The linear rails are (Hiwin?) HGR 20mm x 520mm and the ball screws are SFU1204 (12mm lead 4mm) of around +/- 430 mm. The base structure is made from rectangular aluminum profiles of 70mm x 45mm x 3mm (thickness of walls).

A build to cut .008 inch slots into JB Weld.

a 1000x1000 acme screw workbee built as frugally as possible. thanks so much to ooznest and openbuilds :)

i had the ox build and wanted to do a more beeffer style so i went with a workbee style machine ..

Modify a Gen1 Cube printer into a small cnc router to cut pcbs and light (VERY light) milling work. Also easy to swap out the rotary head and mount a laser head for engraving.

Based on the WorkBee CNC, this is an oversized router built with a specific use-case in mind, for manufacutring beehives, and beehive components

Stinger displays images in the air by using a single column of LEDs. Special computer code converts graphics to pixels; then, the pixels are send to the strings of LEDs, which with the help of of the motor's fast movement the most colorful are displayed on thin air.

My TFE2 CNC Build. The TFE was much smaller and all of the gantry plates were 3D printed. Despite this it will happily machine aluminium without issue. So I decided to use that to make the TFE2 which will be all aluminium plates and much larger (1200x800mm machining area with roughly 140mm in Z so I can later add a rotary axis.)

Automated Media blaster retrofit.

A Delta robot for weeding crops using AI and ROS2

The idea was to use materials from previuos failed projects into a succesful one. I have build this tiny but powerfull CNC machine mainly using the universal gantry plates for the X and Y axis. Also another innovative part is the fact that I assembled the Z gantry with 2 aluminum sections of 20X40 and one aluminum seccion of the 20X20. I used NEMA 17 stepper motors with GT2 pulleys. This was designed on Fusion360

A mixed drive, PI Controlled machine

Super tall 3D printer. All lead screw design.

The Sphinx has all the components I need, except it will need a taller vertical lead screw, the same length as the horizontal ones. It will also need legs. So I need to start with the Sphinx parts list, then make a few changes.

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

Making use of c-beam I have had left over from projects.

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

X is 1000mm, Y is 1500 mm, Z is 1000mm. It Rotates 360 degrees and Tilt also can move 360 degrees. I also have a motor that controls the focus of the camera.

Just ox cnc experiment

A sun cutter only using mirror and glass balls with x and y table movement

Update a 20-year old bench top milling machine with OpenBuild Ecosystem electronics.

Belt drive linear scale for Mill and Lathe

A work-in-progress build using OpenBuilds parts to create a mortising jig.

Quick construction. A few pieces of wood recovered in the trash can, two hooks one hinge, a few screws and a little glue. [Edit] Added the SVG file for sharing (I forgot it)

This build will use 1/2 inch copper water pipe as the primary material for all structural parts. As of now my intent is a cartesian design drawing from a few popular printers. I'm going to use the least amount of printed parts as possible and locally source as much as I can. I have built an EMT-conduit core-xy printer in the past and while it worked out fine, I feel copper is easier to work, manufactured with more precision, still reasonably inexpensive and will look super cool!

That is the only cnc you will need for most of your diy projects.

I saw a video of some one pouring resin in a mold,so i did a little research, i bought some resin,and some molds and magnets all from Amazon, it took me several tries and a big mess but it finally finished. The first pour i poured a small batch to make a templet,i marked all the holes that needed drilling then i marked the underside of the mold where i wanted the magnets, next was making the pcs i needed

Plexi Panel to use for a vfd test enclosure. The box will be wall-mounted on plywood, so the back of the box is not necessary. - The bottom of the box is not necessary because the box will be fixed on concrete on the floor. On the door, I was thinking of putting 4 brackets instead of two. We'll have two 21” doors
