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

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.
Lead 1515 tilting table and vertical table accessory

I wanted a CNC machine that was able to do dovetails and other box joints. I also wanted to have it be able to tilt so it would take up less space when I was working on other projects.

Modified LEAD machine

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.
C-Beam Elexa

This build will be based on the C-Beam Plate Maker, with additional changes based on other builds and ideas.
Black Box/ Power supply brackets

This items are so cool that they need to be together, so I decided to create brackets that connect both pieces together
Y table for LEAD Lathe - essentially a High Z Cbeam XL

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

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

My CNC

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.
NotAnOx

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

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
C-beam charmer

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

F-Ender-Plus 3D Printer

F-Ender-Plus its based on the Ender 3 Pro, but improved: CR-10 hotend, double gear extruder, double z-axis motor, bltouch incorporated, hotbed leveling improved strings kit. Most made using local vendor parts, and still I'm increasing my knowledge of how get better 3D printings by calibrating motors steps, leveling the hotbed and z-axis; using a 3mm thick glass...
Ooznest workbee

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

Using the WorkBee to protect doctors against Corona virus.
Gluing frame for guitar tops and backs

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.
An other Ox Metal Build AZ

Had left over parts from cnc plasma build.
CBeam Sphinx Upgrade

Simple upgrade of the Y axis on a Cbeam sphinx from 500mm to 1000mm.
C-Beam Machine XL

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

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

OrionPlus

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).
Small Slot Cutter

A build to cut .008 inch slots into JB Weld.
C beam Larger and Stronger

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.

One more life for a cube

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.
Needle cutter for foamplates

Cutting Depron foam panels by an oscillating needle
Stinger-Panting Images in the Air

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.

Mighty Chihuahua

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
My Little Mashup

A mixed drive, PI Controlled machine
AcoustoPlot3D

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.
26 x 26 x 45 3D Printer/Mill

Super tall 3D printer. All lead screw design.
Just Another CNC

I wanted to make my own unit. I enjoy building and was looking for a challenge.

Tool holder

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
Mortiser

A work-in-progress build using OpenBuilds parts to create a mortising jig.
Workbee 1010 et laser atomstack M100

Je ne sais pas comment brancher mon laser sur la blackbox?
TFE2 CNC Build

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.)
