OP C-Beam Machine XL by ChrisViral

Hey there,
I'm Chris from YouTube and that's my OP C-Beam XL build. For now this is just a build diary but further down the road when I acquired more knowledge and skill I'll try to film a few good rundowns and tutorials.

OP stands for overpowered because the massive steppers will probably annihilate the tiny lead screws if I ever run into an error.

Unboxing the kit:



Building the frame:



Lead screws, couplings & motors:



Build plate & angle hack:



Mounting the 1.5kW spindle:



First wiring & test drives:



Wiring the motors & drivers, spindle & VFD, arduino & GRBL:

Electrical noise keeps triggering the limit switches:



Going for shielded cables & setting up the home cycle:



First 2D plot & DIY G-Code tests:
