DIY Desktop 5-axis CNC Mill: OK, you bought your router and you are happy with it. If you are an artist. But... if you are an engineer... you probably are not so happy. You cut some 2D stuff. Then try some 2.5D and start getting excited. And then, there comes a day when you …

Build Your Own CNC Milling Machine: Now that I'm retired, I have time to create things that I've always wanted to, like this CNC milling machine. I did a lot of research here on Instructables, which provided me a lot of ideas of how I wanted mine to look and work. I have no experience…

Hello, I decided to do a little build log of my machine as I was bored. I also wanted a bit of advice with choosing the correct steppers if anyone would care to enlighten me? I think 3nm would be sufficient but I'd rather be sure. I'm using sbr16uu rails and the z axis weight is 10.4kg, the whole Gantry weighs 21kg. I'm currently on with building the steel bed and its just about done, but I've run out of welding rods so I'm a waiting now :(

I am fortunate enough to have industrial CNC machinery at my disposal, so it was an obvious choice to machine all of the mechanical parts for this machine myself. This blog post gives a brief overv…

DIY CNC Router Build (large Format 5x10ft, Rack and Pinion): This is a not so little summary of the build of my homemade CNC router, aka The Overpass. This instructable is more of a documentation of how I built my CNC and is not to be mistaken as a tutorial for buidling a CNC. The initial target of my build …

Mini CNC Milling Machine: Hi friends! In this Instructables, I’ll show you how I designed, fabricated, assembled, and got running this mini CNC milling machine. I love fabricating and I wanted to make a (relatively) low cost CNC mill to have at home during the pandemic. I al…

Multifunctional Hobby CNC Machine: About 5 years ago, I made a plotter for making drawings in quite big size. It was a 2 and half axis CNC machine, because the pen had only up or down position. It turned out soon, that it is one of the painful disadvantages of the machine. The other …

Desktop DIY CNC Router - Arduino Based: Goal for this machine : Arduino based 3-Axis machine Cutting material : wood , plastic , aluminum Repeatibility < +/- 0.1 mm Cost < $750 Travel : X-Axis 360 mm ... Y-Axis 500 mm ... Z-Axis 45 mm This goal in mind, fixed gantry…

LOW COST DIY 500€ CNC MILL: Hi, in this Instructable I want to show you, how you can build your own CNC-Mill for less then 500€. I designed this machine for CNC-beginners, who don't want to spend a lot of money for their first experiences with CNC machines but also expecting …

Why 'Gigantic Bastard'? It's really big, and it's the illegitimate offspring of the two most prominent printed CNC projects: the
