 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Or, cheap kits made by CNC owners. How reliable can be such a kit? Anyway, will be nice to have some proposals about design, materials, etc., from CNC experts around here. Not something professional, but workable and reasonable as precision (well, I guess that can come mainly from "sliders"). The construction must avoid complications in assembling the kit. It must be a maximum of A4 working area (or A3?). Hobbit name: Togo Toadfoot of Frogmorton Elvish name: Mablung Miriel Beyound Arduino Lang |

I've seen a few designs based on timber frames, and they seam to work OK. http://www.cncroutersource.com/cnc-router-plans.html I think timber is a good material, its rigid when layered up and glued, cheap, and also easy to work with. If a timber part breaks its easy to replace or repair. But it would only be suitable for routing wood, HDPE or other soft materials. Give steel a miss, and even aluminium would be asking too much. What do you want to do with the CNC Vasi? Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Hi Glenn, Exactly what you said, wood, HDPE, soft materials (for "hand made" things, local art, etc.), but also PCB's of medium complexity... Vasi Hobbit name: Togo Toadfoot of Frogmorton Elvish name: Mablung Miriel Beyound Arduino Lang |
