    My Plastic CNC

    This is my first design of a CNC. I bought a few months ago, plans for the Rockcliff machine. When I was done about 50% I realized it's too limiting for me, so I start my own design (my own design is not accurate since I "stole" a lot of ideas from this wonderful forum).

    I built my CNC using 1/2" plastic (sort of high density plastic) and some aluminum parts. Table is 3/4" MDF. Cutting area is 20" X 29" X 3". In the future I may increase Z axis travel to 5" or 6". It's still a work-in-progress but it's 99% done. I used Acad 2007 to draw. I'm attaching the drawing but take it as a guide, because I'm adding things here and there. I'm also attaching a picture of the full assembled machine.

    Sleeve bearings are made of brass, got it from a local company (B.O.S.S. inc); lead screw is Home depot 3/8"; couplings are from Princess Auto. The router is Mastercraft 6 Amp from Canadian Tire. Electronics is HobbyCNC.

    Any comments are welcome.
