The UltiMachine boards are recommended for the improved design and robust safety features. This is all controlled by any control board you like.Ball screws are expensive, require tuning, and periodic maintenance / adjustments. Small belts are used because each axis has two of them. No need for NEMA 23’s or their required larger drivers, torque is not one of this machines issues.īelts are used for their accuracy and price. The standard would be NEMA 17 in any torque preferably 42 OZ/in and above (the kit comes with 76 OZ/in). X and Y axis are powered by 2 stepper motors each, and a single stepper for the Z axis. If this machine isn’t big enough I have also designed the LowRider CNC, all the same specs and resolution just designed to be bigger! The linear motion is ball bearings on electrical conduit (or stainless steel)… seriously, easy to use and source. ![]() The smaller you make this the faster you can move it and the more rigid/accurate it will be, and more importantly the easier it will be to get the desired accuracy. The kit comes with enough belt for up to 48″ of total outer X and Y axis dimensions (eg 24″x24″, 36″x12″ or any other combination). Size ¶Īll axes can be any length you prefer, anything over 3 ½′ (1M) would require small mid-span supports to increase rigidity, of course smaller is better. This machine can easily do many things, how about making some coffee with Apach…(not me but I think he is my new hero). No proprietary hardware or software, build it any size and shape you want (more on this later), buy it from this site or source it all yourself, helpful forums, low cost, and capable. Why buy a single use machine when you can have one that does it all for less than the cost of any single function machine. The idea behind this is to be extremely adaptable and inexpensive. Not easy to make a specs page when it can have almost any specs you want. There is no other machine more versatile than the Mostly Printed CNC at any price point. That is all you need to spend, throw in a few endmills and you are still under $600. You can have a CNC router for precision work ( here, here all the way up to aluminum milling and plasma cutting steel for under $550. I would like to drive that price home one more time. Total Cost… if you have a 3D printer Under $418, $547 if you buy the printed parts from here. Either a Dewalt, import spindle or an extruder (3D Printer) $63, or anything else you might want to bolt on, laser, drag knife, foam cutting needle (awesome), etc. If not, buy the printed parts from here for $165.
