Alright, so I guess I just explained how not to price your work...
I'm new to this and I just wanted to get some items sold and experiment with what people were willing to pay before I started...
You can definitely recycle your controller. All you have to do with your 3-Axis Hobby CNC board is order the 4th Axis Upgrade Kit (http://www.hobbycnc.com/products/spare-parts/). Then you just have...
What you're going to charge depends largely upon the costs of materials, design time, machine time, and the finishing time. You have to figure out how much you want to make per hour; be fair to...
Hahaha! One of my favorite CNC quotes I've seen in the past four years I've been on these forums.
Hey guys,
It's been a while since I last updated this thread, but since my last post I was able to complete my build of Joes 4x4 Hybrid. I built the machine for my senior graduation project and I...
Thanks for the reply,
(3) of the motors are the KL23H286-20-8B which are (Rated Current: 2.8A, Rated Voltage: 4.17V (in Bipolar Parallel))
and
(1) of the HobbyCNC 200OZ-IN, 3VDC, 3A...
Hey everyone,
For my highschool graduation project I am building Joe's 4x4 Hybrid CNC. I purchased the 3 Axis 4030 Controller last year but the machine requires 4 Axes. I recently purchased an extra...
Bob,
I decided to go with the torsion box table because I loved how stable it made the Joe's 2006. When you say line up the cores do you mean have interlocking interior ribs? Or do you mean just...
Hey everyone, I will be starting to build the 4'x4' Hybrid soon. Right now I'm designing an MDF torsion box base for the machine. Here are the designs so far (they are based off thewoodwhisperer's...
Some pictures of the build.
I don't know if you're supposed to do this, but I always apply clear coats (and any finishes for that matter) with clean pieces of cloth. I find that using brushes just leaves brush strokes and can...
Hey everyone,
I'm a junior in high school and I really enjoy woodworking. Currently I am taking Materials Processing and Machine Programming 2, which is essentially a woodshop class. For our first...
I didn't use anything to hold the pipes to the support pieces for my machine. They get fitted into the end supports and the gantry sides and that holds them pretty well. I'm not sure what Joe does on...
If adjusted properly the skate bearing rail system is very stable, don't let its simplicity fool you. As for costs, its one of the most cost efficient linear motion system you can get/build. The...
Kilroy,
Attached is the Bill of Materials. There is a color-coded table that will tell you the thickness of each part and then a table with the hardware needed. Hope this helps.

Wow! Those machines are beautiful! They look just like the professional CNCs you see out there for $10,000+. Some really nice color schemes too. I start my tech course in less than a month! I've been...
Hey Joe,
I'm planning on building the 4' x 4' for my senior project at my highschool. I've been working two jobs the whole summer to earn enough to pay for it (and hopefully I have enough). I was...
The depth of cut I have been doing has been no more than 1/8", I've been doing 1/16" lately though. However, the Pepsi was an 1/8"
Thanks for the help so far guys! and yes, the pepsi sign was a disaster. It was the first cut and I didn't have the table surfaced and everything adjusted...(I thought it had all been adjusted at the...
I decided I wanted to surface the table of the CNC, however, I feared that something might go wrong....so instead I mounted a large sheet of MDF to the table and surfaced it. That way my table is...
After months of research, gathering materials, building, and hard work our Sophomore Build of Joe's CNC Model 2006 is finally completed. I started to work on the machine again a couple of days ago...
Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've updated but Tyler and I have both been busy.
But finally, now that my harder class are finished and lacrosse season is over, we have been able to work...
It's looking good so far! I like all the pictures and descriptions. Hopefully that Z Axis Carriage won't cause you too many problems...if the bearing block can be adjusted to account for the...
Good news! I was able to get the correct male/male parallel cable to Tyler today and he was able to get the motors up and running tonight. So we have 3 working motors.
The only things left to do...
Looking good! If you need any help along the way just ask around, but it looks like you're doing alright on your own. Keep up the good work.
Do you have the electronics yet?
It's been far too long without an update on the Zone for our Sophomore Build. So heres a quick update. We now have a complete controller/power supply with motors that is plug-and-play from Keling. We...
Alright power supply =
Brand: Nemic Lambda
Model: EQS150-24
Volts/Amps: 100-120V ~ 3.7A
Tyler was handling the electronics. So I don't know the rating on the board or anything. Thats just...
