Discussion in 'Other Builds' started by PlanetRusso, Oct 21, 2014.

Here is my first ever CNC build. A CNC Hotwire Foam Cutter. I will update about achievements. I would love to read from you guys - advices, ideas. Especially regarding the electronics. I feel confident with the hardware part which I can't say about the electronics part.

    This would be my next project as well. My plans were to create two uprights in the Y axis (up in this case) and an X axis bar between them. That way I can triangulate the Y axis uprights with back braces as they don't move.
    The Y axis would be screw driven and the X axis belt (openbuild style) driven.

    Regards Tim

    I just order a bunch of 20X20 and 20X40 for building a CNC foam cutter. I look forward to watching your progress.

    Regards,
