This build includes the design of a large FDM 3D printer. This machine has a 796mm by 796mm by 900mm (LxWxH) build volume. Motion is controlled by servo motors and the printer runs on python-based marlin firmware.

I built the lathe as a dedicated rotary axis, but I soon realized I could have a back up CNC for very little expense.

I'm starting with the c-beam bundle, and I hope to end up with a pretty useful little platemaker/shallow relief carver. I'm hoping to discover how accurate and efficient it can be.

Standard build with high Z using a Gauss probe instead of a router.

You will be following the assembly of the mechanical kit and how i integrate the electronics into the final build.

1500*1500*1900 (xyz) Biocomposite Pellet 3D printer

Build a manual camera slider.

Epoxy dispenser, 2nd one, first one works great. Uses HMI to allow for operator to pull up files for different jobs. 9 prox sensors, Eot and home on all 3 axis. High quality nema23 motors with intergrated drives from applied motion. Uses programmable router for drives.

Hoping to build a WorkBee 1000 x 1000 (2000) from parts and not a kit, cannot afford the kit in full so going the long way round...

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

This box is made from tough aluminum with plastic boards, helps hold WiFi Routers, Modems, or/ Ethernet Switches! The aluminum can resist the heat produced by these electronics, and the weight of the electronics, also being light itself. This box is the thing you need to hold your electronic devices!

Instructions to build an open-source off-grid medical instrument sterilizer that can be used by aid workers in places without reliable electrical power

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

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

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.

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,

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 ?

It start out to be an upgrade of a CNC 3018-PRO but ended up being a full build

First and foremost, I want to create accurate parts for my model aircraft. In second line I am interested in the control and electronics of the milling machine. If you are interested in drawings and the parts list, feel free to contact me.

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

Automated Media blaster retrofit.

More stuff here.

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

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.

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

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

Using the WorkBee to protect doctors against Corona virus.

I have been assembling various machines for a long time, more than 30 pieces have already been assembled, so I decided to post one of the recent projects. CO2 laser machine with a power of 100 watts, the size of the working field is 1600 width and 1800 length.

Had left over parts from cnc plasma build.

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

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

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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 :)

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

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

I've been doing this for over 20 years. So it's hard not to describe it short.

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

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.

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

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

Super tall 3D printer. All lead screw design.

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

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.

A mixed drive, PI Controlled machine

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.

Je ne sais pas comment brancher mon laser sur la blackbox?

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.
