For the eclipse tomorrow, I made a few different pinhole projectors. A simple single aperture, or multiple apertures to make different eclipse...
@Grantman Round tubes are more comfortable as handlebars and smoother as axles or shafts. In this case, I'm thinking about a handlebar. I just got...
Hi. Does anyone have any ideas for connecting V-Slot to round tubes? I've been tinkering around with some scraps and some makerlink and haven't...
The Ox doesn't really seem rigid enough to be a great 4'x8' machine. And I'm not sure my own design would fare much better at that scale. As the...
I've built a CNC router combining OpenBuilds C-Beam and CNC Router Parts R&P. Take a look at some of the photos and the cad link I posted here:...
I should add one more thing. If you do come up with an adjustable height table, especially one that is controlled by steppers, then you should...
It sounds like what you really want is extra Z-clearance on part of your table rather than an adjustable height table. Given that, it seems like a...
Marring of the surface can happen depending on your pressure foot material and the surface. I don't notice it to be a problem with the stuff I...
@Adam Filipowicz I downloaded the 3d models of their parts from their website and used them when designing my setup. Just look on the store page...

The pressure foot doesn't remove the need for clamping the stock. You still need to firmly attach the stock to the table when cutting. It does two...
Inspired by your build, I created a similar dust boot and pressure foot for myself. The suction needs to be improved somewhat. I'm planning on...
Yes. I used C-Beams from Open Builds with the 'pro' rack and pinion stuff from the CNC Router Parts store. The rack has a flange that you can...
I'll definitely need to customize the parameters to fit my machine. I suppose the questions I have are mostly about how the various parts are...
Wow. This looks beautiful. My own current system for pressure foot and vacuum is basically chicken wire by comparison. Do you have links to design...
I'm not sure what the best settings are for you. I have never used a bit that large to cut acrylic. For my 2mm bit, I use a speed of 12000 RPM and...
You definitely don't want your spoilboard to float. The best way to connect it to your table is with L-brackets like these: L Bracket One end...
You different axes don't have to weigh the same or have the same forces. In fact, it is often best if they don't. On my machine, I have two...
