This seems to be a popular machine with plans in DXF format.

Oh thanks but it uses to much complicated materials that i cant get here.

is there some think more simple?

Think substitute CNC Wanna Be

If it uses Aluminum for the frame then use MDF, if it uses precision ground ball screws, use threaded rod, if THK linear rails then use black pipe and skate bearings.

You need to do some thinking on this, I think

What are the complicated materials you are referring to ?

[Cnc Wana bee]

i dont really remamber i got the plans printed some where i think i left them at work,but i mean materials like that plastic drlin or some think like that that i didnt found a place that sells that stuff in small quty...

any way thanks for the tip but it will be great to have a mchine that uses lets say mdf to build it because its cheap and i can fiend it any where

Some people have had luck using the cheap plastic cutting boards when they can get Delrin...

thanks but i dont know,i dont really like does cutting boards,i preffer some think out of mdf or some think like that

You wouldn't use the cutting board material to build the frame. You can use MDF for that just fine.

The cutting-board (delrin substitute) would be for cheap bearing surfaces...

The Gas-Pipe and Skate-Bearings route is the easiest to start with.
Look at this machine. That should be very do-able even with limited resources.

Thanks man!!!
Finally the perfect machine for me
it looks great and easy to build.
you don't have by any chance the plans?

[bkukowski]

you can order delrin online pretty cheap (i found it at indplastic.com) also, nylon supposedly works well and I'm sure ldpe (low density polyethelyne) spelling* such as cutting boards will work well. what are you using for stepper motors/controllers/ cad/cam software? By the way, .dwg and .dxf are cad files. You need a program such as autocad to open those.

Thx,ill think about that
im planing to use some 3 PowerMax II Stepper Motors 145OZ Stepper Motors,is that ok?

about the controllesrs im aint too sure,im looking for some think cheap and easy,it will be great if any one can link me up to some think like that.

the cutting software will be-KCam4,its free,what more can i ask?

[bkukowski]

i'm currently planning my first cnc and am ordering from hobbycnc.com (when I get the cash). you should check out their site. They have unipolar chopper drivers for less than $100. Xylotec has some nice drivers too for both unipolar and bipolar stepper motors.

[Cnc Wana bee]

i saw they site looks nice..
pretty expansive but i think ill get the drivers from there,will see...

any way,my washing machine broke,and i still got the motor,its huge,about 10KG
can i use him from some think?
