Hedron's build with Ooznest kit and Xylotex motors

Discussion in 'CNC Mills/Routers' started by Jesse Jenkins, Oct 24, 2015.

A 3-axis flying gantry (4'x4') mechanical kit is assembled. A 3D printer is used to make cable chain for tidy and cheap wire management. A BeagleBone Black development platform with Machinekit software (LinuxCNC) is configured to control a Xylotex motor driver box connected to an Openbuilds Ox direct-drive pulley and belt motion system. A vacuum dust-collection system is designed, CNC-routed and installed. A steel table is made to mount the table onto.

    Cool build! I see you are in Portland, too. I would love to swing in and take a look at the Ox if it were possible. Are there hours you guys are open to the public? I am finalizing some design ideas to build my own, but it will be a bit smaller.

    You're welcome, thanks for making such great instructions for your ooznest kit. The custom table was designed and built by Richard Cawley (RichArt), a local metal sculpture artist here in Portland. It really helps to make it an everyday shop tool.
