This Belt and Pinion actuator is a great example of how easy it is to convert your machine into a belt drive system.

This example build shows how easy it is to make a linear actuator using a few OpenBuilds Parts.

This easy to build and effective system can take your builds to the next level! This design is strong and accurate and could be the solution/upgrade that you've been looking for!

OpenBuilds C-beam 15mm belt on 1500mm C-Beam.

The OpenBuilds WorkBee 1510 - 1500x1000 Belt Driven CNC Machine

The OpenBuilds Sphinx 55 - 500x500 Lead Screw Machine

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

OX Based CNC

A cool little CNC router build that uses the V-Slot belt & pinion drive and stock parts.

The OpenBuilds Sphinx 1050 - 500x1000 Lead Screw Machine

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

Gary's take on the OX HD X and Z plates, making it stiffer, adding mini wheels to the C-beam and Quick removable Z axis.

The OpenBuilds WorkBee 1050 - 1000x500 Lead Screw Driven CNC Machine

A CoreXY/Bowden design with a belt driven Z axis. This is a box design without the front end of the box, making the print area and maintenance, like changing a nozzle, easily accessible.

The Archon "In the style of Cartesian movement." A brief overview, guide and summary of my highly experimental build. and some insight into the challenges of building such a large format/belted machine.

The OpenBuilds team has redefined the belt and pinion concept. By using standard OpenBuild components were able to improve on this system in ways that will save on cost and enhance its engineering capabilities.

My take on a non affordable slider.

Quack Ball is a game in which the objective is to knock down moving ducks. The ducks are protected by a barricade that moves at a very fast speed. The game can be played individually or by two or more players. Each round consists of a total of ten targets to shoot and each player will have four balls to shoot. Prior to beginning play, a player selects how many ducks, maximum four, the player will knock down continuously. If player fails games is over for that player.

A CNC router designed to handle a 4'x8' sheet, for as close to $2000 as possible. The price barrier resulted in my choice to use timing belts rather than leadscrews or rack&pinion. Build List still being updated

This will be an OX based machine which I've designed to make the best use of my materials, be as precise as the design allows and operate as quietly as possible. I live in an apartment complex so space and noise are two important factors for me. Therefore the machine needs to do as much as possible while using little space and not annoy the neighbours.

My adventure in CNC routing.

150x75 cm OX with additional Y axis supports and hopefully a working double belt system

I hope to have a working prototype built soon.
