Ok well then knowing those budgets I would say they are in the same ball park. I did not get the total of either packages, since it wasn't really my job to handle the economical side of things.
But...
Morning everyone,
Working on finalizing the one of the final purchases of parts for the machine, while also looking at table designs.
Going through iterations of table designs based on material I...
Well going with UCCNC, your options seems limited to their motion controllers. But there are few more options in regards to breakout boards, luckily though.
Like the UB1 for instance:...
Oh and if anyone wants to build this machine, the CAD files are available on my GrabCAD profile;

Be aware though, that there might be some...
Thanks a lot Peter, too bad I didn't have time to really think through the design more.
But I had limited amount of time until I did not have access to any milling machines and material,

Hi everyone!
I've been pondering if I should do a project here or not, and thought, finally, I should do it. At least to have some journey I can read about when I am in my golden age, hehe.

I was talking more in general terms of cnc machines, a metal or even a wood router/mill cnc machine should not use IGUS rails, but a low weight 3D printer or a laser, could and can use the IGUS rails...
That is two errors on my part there, taking the first bearing housing I could find in my library, and second. Not mentioning it was supported round rails that I was talking about.
And the IGUS...
Another thought of placement, with the round bar and linear bearings in mind this time.

Hi Peter,
That I can imagine, it being two ways. There seems to a lot of knowledgeable people around in this forum, from the brief glance I have had so far.
Yes that I have noticed a lot of them...

Thanks for your input on the matter.
I'm going back and forth between two...
Interesting thread, need some more time to add my input on it. But I thought another question would be nice to add, with some visual aid to make more sense of what I'm about to write.
