Simple steel tube design Plasma water table

This is the story of my experience building a 1000 x 750mm OOZNest OX CNC router

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.

A simple wood turning lathe.

This build is based on the C-Beam build by Mark Carew. I have added axis limit switches and a remote mounted control cabinet. This build also uses a custom moveable table.

Tough 3D Printer using OpenBuilds Parts!

A simple low cost rotomolder.

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

Super solid core xy build inspired by the e3d tool changer

I am satisfied with my build and next one will be even better.

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

Hello all, wanted to share my custom build that I planed to do. My idea was to drill foam blocks to make molds for my projects. The CNC will be 1500-1500mm with a higher Z-Axis. So I redesigned the Gantry Plates that will be cut out at some other place. I hope you can share your opinion on my project.

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.

Major rebuild of my Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus.

In short...this was a fun project.

My version of the popular Lautr3k 3D printer. UNI Panther colors of Purple and Yellow on black V-slot rails. 300x300 bed.

I have been working on this project for something like 3 years on and off, sometimes leaving it for a few months. Now I really want to finish it. For me, the mechanical part was the easy (though long) part because I get to use about 17 CNC machines and MasterCAM and I am a machinist. The hard part is the electronics part. Had a few problems getting Windows to communicate to the X5 Mini via the USB cable but found something on the Smoothie forum and got the machine moving.

Modded OX with full nema23 4 point support

A Rod-type Linear Actuator based on the 40x40 V-slot profile

The new C-Beam kit expanded to 1000mm . extra support built in for the extents of the travel.

A short summary of my Workbee CNC Build. I try to update it where I can

This build has been an educational experience. Software and hardware alike.

1M C-beam xy variant

XDrive 3d printer, high quality large build volume.

This is the original C-Beam Sphinx with the 16 wheel X gantry plates. I'm using the Ethernet Smoothstepper, Gecko G540 stepper driver and Mach 4 for motion control.

The goal is to have a relatively strong CNC to be able to cut alu. Working space will be around 800x350x100mm.

Square shaped OX for doing general purpose engraving and cutting into wood, acrylic, and aluminum.

I built a motion control camera slider with the V-Slot® NEMA 17 Linear Actuator Bundle (Belt Driven)

This is a handy machine to assemble touch sensors into display frame.

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

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...

Watercooled 3D printer

Started with a Rigidbot Big Added a single flat glass bed Used a Smoothieboard clone driving DRV8825

Two plus years in the making, I finally have a working ACRO 510 laser engraver system complete with enclosure and air filtration.

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

Wanna quet an nice looking device done by my hands

Custom build, after building the prusa i3 and upgrading to i3v, I wanted to build something more sturdy that can print fast and more accurate. Model is built in Fusion 360

My first printer! I went for a simple cartesian design, based on evilc66 one. It uses 1000 mm C-beam linear actuators. The build volume is 700x700x700 mm^3.

Very stout 2'x4' machine with a deep Z axis

Aluminum-framed enclosure for TAZ 6 3d Printer made with Makerlink.

Not completed yet but it does work, I will be changing small things as I finish the build and I have learned a lot from this build I am looking forward to finishing this one and Building another maybe larger table.

I have always wanted to work with CNC machinery...a few years back I got my chance to learn some basics at the Double Glazing Company where I was employed (very basic I might add) before the firm folded and I was made redundant...I wanted to continue learning and when I came across this site which push affordable machines I thought I'd give it a go. So I purchased a !000mmx750mm Screw Driven Workbee from Ooznest and I'm about to embark on my quest as many have done before me...Wish me Luck!

The 3D printer will be able to print 2x2x2m components and not just in PLA or ABS. It's not just a DIY printer but I'm trying to apply engineering formulas to make it. I'm going to apply the state of art for 3D printing and scannering existing.

This is based on core XY kinematics. First of all, we designed a CAD model. Most of the required parts are designed by us in solidworks software, and some parts are downloaded from a web platform ‘grabcad’. After that we assembled those parts and inspected them in solidworks. The designed CAD models are frame of 470mmX392mmX545mm SBR linear guide rod, linear guide holder, lead screw, motor mounts, pulley, bed mount, idler block, timing belt clamper.

Theoretical Working Area: 360x360x75mm Actual Working Area: 300x300x75mm Will Update Later

Simple enclosure for the OB Minimill

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

This Build Is Is Inspired By OOZ Nest CNC, But With Some Changes,

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

This is the adult version of the QU-BD juvenile known as their OneUp. It not only uses extrusion framing instead of press board MDF, it is a full sized 8x8 build area w/ABS-Nylon capability. Only the OneUp's single Z axis driver concept is similar. I'm tempted to call it OneUpAdult for marketing.

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

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

This is a small desktop CNC inspired by the Mini OX project. It's designed with the nema 17 motors in mind. It's a 650mm x 500mm machine that it will be used to mill cast acrlic.

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

Created a small Z axis for the ACRO motion system. I wanted to more easily adjust the height of the laser to accommodate various thicknesses of material, without having to manually loosen screws to adjust. Also wanted to be able to vary the height for multiple cutting passes on some materials. Try to stick to a similar aesthetic as the original ACRO system and plates.

We created an A1 ACRO Drawing robot specifically for the artist communities. It utilizes the popular ISO 'A series' paper sizes standards

I know this build is a little off category here at OB, but I wanted to share it with the community (as well as other coffee lovers) and show however vast the possibilities are when OB hardware is involved. This is a powered stand intended to operate a manual coffee grinder. It is compact, light, portable and uses simple drive components (B&D Cordless Screwdriver). I will post two version, V-1 (Beginner skill level ) and V-2 (Intermediate skill level). Both accomplish the same results.

Lord willing I will be showing you how build a robust and easy to build 3D printer framework using V-Slot rails and rollers. It's a little bulky, but it has all spring tensioned rollers on all axes, and can be built entirely without custom machining on any parts. You will need digital calipers, a drill press, a carbide toothed miter saw for cutting aluminum extrusions, and lots of little screws!

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

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

Increase Z axis travel by 20-25mm with minimal modifications

This is my interpretation of the OB Minimill, what I've changed so far, and what may continue to change as my requirements change.

CNC MILLING ROUTER

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

My goals for this build were to eliminate slop and flex while also allowing easy serviceability.

Stabilus 3d Large Format Printer Kit

This is a Sphinx variation, aimed to minimize footprint and maximize workarea. Work in progress.

I will write a short buildlog here with mostly pictures. I designed this lasercutter in solidworks(not totally finished) for a good overview and such that the steel tubes could be lasercut by a company, the metal frame is based on the lasercutter the KÄSER, which you can find on cnczone.nl. The mechical parts are designed by myself because I had no mill to my use, so the mechnical parts are lasercut(same company as tube) steelplates welded together.

This Project is meant to teach introductory robotics and arduino styled micro-controllers to HS and MS students.

Micro Ox Build

Not much to say... Soundproofing box for noisy works... Build in MDF and 20 mm plexiglas. Very effective!!!

A stout 3D printer build with the hopes of being able to serve as a light mill (PCB) and laser engraver

All metal frame 500mm bed Delta 3D printer

C-Beam XL with v-slot aluminum bed for fixturing.

This project is focused on developing a low-cost, portable and open-source FDM 3D Printer.

The first criteria was portability, the second was cutting out a sheet of ply, the third was the ability to shape a foam surfboard blank, but the main criteria was a small budget.

just wanted to share my build of a huge 3d printer. It stands just over 2 meters tall and has a total print area of around 850mm x 850mm.

A small router for thin plate stock

Roberta Clementine's first daughter printer Alice Clementine!

It startet in May with some leftovers from a cnc router build. Now in the middle of December its 99% finish. Everything is lowcost, spend about 1600$ so far.

The idea is to make a simple effective ventilator, studying the concept of using a simple push process with and actuator.

Hell Yeah

My First major improvement was changing the controller to a Acorn board. I loved the way a dedicated userinterface was speeding up my workflow. Next project my Y Axis. On Aliexpress I ordered a couple of 16mm ballscrews and some lineair rail. Before I took my gantry off I quickly made some aluminium profiles to fit my carriages. Withouth any doubt these improvements where worth it

This is a modification I made to my Voxel Ox 3D Printer Z axis, which synchronizes the Z leadscrews via a shaft and helical gear transmission. It prevents the two Z leadscrew from getting out of adjustment relative to each other, and uses a single Z motor instead of two. This build is just documenting the specific changes I have made to the Z-axis, since the frame and other axes are still from the original Voxel Ox design.

Build a 2x72 Belt Grinder out of OpenBuilds V-Slots

This is the largest printer I have found. It is also the cheapest. The reason is that it is run by hand, without computer or motors or electronics. Put an object on one side and move the 3d pen while tracing the object. Move the z dimension by turning the crank on the lab jack to move the printed copy down a notch. Be creative!

Xl 2 axis foam cutter Eps Surfboard blanks Simple open concept but high production machine. Shape 3d case with open builds controller

Hello. I build this 600 by 600 printer and hope to share it. I plan to sell custom builds with my website in the middle of this yeahr while making all parts accesibble online for replacements and own builds. My plan was to build a better and more accessible big volume 3d-printer as cheap as possible. I got some inspiration of the ender creality 3, the crazy-Print xyz 300 and the veho 600 tronxy which was simply not relaible and satisfying overal.

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.

To help cutting v-slots with hand saw

I used the cad designs for the c beam to find a solution to my initial sourcing problem. I figured that I could use 2x 20x20 and 1x 20x80 Profil to create a c beam actuator. I sourced all of the profiles from a local machin builder and t-nuts and screws in my local hardware store. Some parts are currently in 3d printed pla for testing reasons.
