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,

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

Lead1010 build

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

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

MY experience as a first time introduction to the CNC world!

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.

Future CNC router kit design

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

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

Automated Media blaster retrofit.

This build is my version of the CBeam machine. I opted to NOT use the Gussets, and instead went for the 40, and 60 mil angle brackets to cut the price back a little further. I started with the smoothieboard but decided it was still "too new" and very much experimental. This build took me a few (2-3) days to complete. The CBeams and Lead-Screws really make building things faster since you don't have to clamor over belts.

More stuff here.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

Using the WorkBee to protect doctors against Corona virus.

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.

A Journey on the WorkBee Build...

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

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).

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

A Delta robot for weeding crops using AI and ROS2

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

My first build based on the original C beam Sphinx. I’m not sure at this point what the final size will be. I have the parts from the c beam Sphinx and extra beams and lead screws to build up to 1000mm x 1000mm.

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

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

Just ox cnc experiment

Putting together an incomplete CNC router I was gifted, seeking guidance on the areas I don't know what to do with

This has been a long, ongoing build. I’m putting together a custom CNC controller based on the MKS TinyBee running FluidNC, built into a custom aluminum chassis with proper heatsinks, clean wiring, and a set of custom boards and electronics. I’m using high‑end connectors and adding addressable lighting to keep everything both functional and polished. At the same time, I’ve been writing my own pendant firmware from scratch, which I plan to release as open source once it’s in a good place.
