Hello all,
New member here, cant wait to meet everyone. I decided to document my first CNC built with everyone. The frame is built with material i had laying around my workshop. I have a bunch of supplies coming in the next few days , so i can start working on the gantry. I will post any and all progress i make and i will be asking many questions along the way.
The Frame: 1.5" steel tubing the walls are on the thing side but im trying to keep this as budget friendly as possible.
The Gantry: i will be using 2x2" 11ga tubing that i had laying around. I may have to get new tubing depending on the straightness of the material i have.
Stepper Motors: nema 23 i believe, i bought the set off ebay came with all the electronics.
Driving mechanism: direct drive rack and pinion.
Everything else will come as i run into it.
About myself: I am a 30ish year old machinist(more of a button pusher now). Been doing machining for about 5 years and was a welder for about 9 years before that. Currently talking classes for a mechinal engineering though i have a ways to go. I love to build and tinker with almost anything and love discovering new hobbies.
