My machine is a combination of the Openbuilds Sphinx 55, MGN12 linear rails knockoffs and custom made plates made by Chris Laidlaw

A tribute build based on Kyo's wonderful CBeam Sphinx. My hope is to improve on that build slightly, but to be honest, I'll probably just screw it up. I'll use this build to publicly document my failures.

The OpenBuilds Sphinx 55 - 500x500 Lead Screw Machine

Machine based on Sphinx 55 built with linear rails.

This is a Kyo Sphinx CNC Router build. Working Area: 350mm X 500mm Link to original design: https://openbuilds.com/builds/c-beam-sphinx.3605/

This is going to be a Sphinx 1050 build. Starting off as a stock kit build using industrial electronics and opensource control software. Mods and upgrades to follow.

The OpenBuilds Sphinx 1050 - 500x1000 Lead Screw Machine

Upgraded Sphinx Cbeam using 3/8 aluminum plates and linear rails / ballscrews

A Sphinx build to inspire and encourage all those who want to get started with cnc to check out Opensbuilds line of machine bundles and hardware.

Rigid variant of the C-Beam sphinx platform

This is a build log of the Openbuilds Sphinx 55 with some 3D printed parts for the electronics and probably other parts as they come up.

Upgraded Z-axis for Sphinx-style CNC using ball screws and linear rails.

feel free to ask anything about this builds, but im a airline pilot and sometimes responding maybe will take me. while!!

inspired by http://openbuilds.org/builds/c-beam-sphinx.3605/

This is basically a Sphinx variant with few changes of my own...hope it'll work.

Let me explain: About a year ago I was planning to build a CNC router of my own design. I started gathering components including the THK linear rails. I soon found out you pretty much need a CNC to build a CNC and this is when I decided to build my Sphinx machine. I've had these rails and some other parts sitting around so it's time I used them! I'm planning to incorporate linear rails and 1605 ballscrews into the Sphinx design. I really like the overall appearance of the Sphinx.

A 1000mm x 1000mm Sphinx/R7 build.

Here's my Sphinx with a few slight modifications.

Sphinx 1050 kit mounted to a Husky 46" x 24.5" mobile workbench.

Inspired by previous Sphinx builds by Sorin (w/ MGN Rails) and Kenneth's witthuhnCNC XKLBR-1S. I wanted to create a desktop unit that kept a minimal profile and neatly contained the PS, Controller, and all wiring, making it a singular unit that could be easily transportable (as it will be doing double duty at my home and at work)

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.

A modified 1000x1000 Sphinx, with a built in vaccum table.

Build a 1x1 Sphinx/Sphinx XL style CNC.

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

The reason for building this CNC is to help me in my guitar building hobby. (telecasters)

Need cnc to make alumunium sign, brass stamp, etc

A Sphinx Linear rail build (600mm x 600mm) hence the title Sphinx66. Plates supplied by Chris Laidlaw. Linear rails used MGN15

1000mm x 1000mm linear rails, double gantry, build in Process... more to come

A stable CNC Router that allows me to cut and carve bigger Parts. The Machine is an original Build from Kyo's Sphinx CNC Machine. Thanks for the great Work and the Effort Kyo. Your Files and Lists helped me a lot to build that Sphinx 1x1m.

I took what I thought were the best parts of the sphinx and the c beam xl to build a bigger and faster machine.

KYO SPHINX, CENTROID ACORN, GECKO 540, HALL EFFECT LIMIT SWITCHES, 2.2 KW, 24,000 RPM SPINDLE, WATER COOLED, 600 oz-in STEPPERS, INTENDED TO CUT ALUMINUM.

Sphinx CNC modified to 750mm x 750mm c-beams. Parts not readily available in South Africa, so i have to make some modifications...

Openbuilds 1050 Sphinx. Thank you to Mark Carew for trading me a set of plates for a spindle and PSU I was not using. Mark is a champ!

I Like the Sphinx design thought I would attempt my first build. I wanted to build this and use Arduino controller with GRBL to be able to learn and understand my machine.

I am building a Sphinx 55 from the bones of my old C-Beam machine. Rising from the ashes so to speak.

My first attempt at building a CNC. I chose the Sphinx due to ease of build and extensive documentation provided by Kyo.

Building a Sphinx based CNC based on Kyo's plans. Going with a 1000 x 500 table size.

CNC variation about Sphinx.

Another C-Beam Sphinx but a little larger,

1000mm x 750mm C-Beam Sphinx, running on Grbl

Another Cartesian style build with parts from the UK, US & China.

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

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