I started designing and ordering parts for this build back in Oct 2021. Unfortunately life got in the way and I had to sideline the project to deal with more important projects. I am now back working on this project full time. I originally was building a MPCNC on this torsion box platform I built but quickly realized how difficult it would be to produce anything with good accuracy. So I decided to design my own CNC that would be more robust and accurate.

    Seeing the sturdy machine you've built it funny to think that you even considered a MPCNC. It's literally day and night difference. My self designed and built machine is by far not so sturdy but I only cut wood (so far).

    Only thing I would have done different than what you did, and what I did on mine, is using NEMA 34 steppers. They are way stronger for their size and cost about the same as the high torque NEMA 23.

    Great build, my friend! :thumbsup:

    Well done, quite a departure indeed from the mpcnc.

    What are you planning on cutting with this big guy. It seems like it could be ready for quite a variety of jobs.

    Wow, very sturdy looking build. Do you have and idea on what the mass of the gantry and z axis will have on machine when doing rapid motions with directional changes. I ask because on my current machine (slightly modified x-carve) shakes the entire table when I get going to fast. Just curious. Again very nice and sturdy looking build.
