This website has many CNC build logs, however, recently while searching the
web with keywords of "homemade CNC machine", I found a website in
Spanish that had 18 pages of beautiful hi-res pictures of a build log.

I know how fast good things disappear on the web, so I immediately grabbed
the entire build with all of its pictures to my harddrive.

If you are a person who appreciates the efforts of others, go to Google and
under the languages link, setup a pointer to http://www.devilmaster.org/sections....ticle&artid=40
then select English translation and pages with Spanish and hit Search.

You will get a translated access to an article called "My little CNC",
18 pages are there for you enjoyment.

This build is so detailed that I could build a similiar unit from just the pictures.

Enjoy,

Very impressive CNC, I enjoyed that a lot. I wish I had his tooling for building something like that

[jerryl]

couldn't find it,what is it,i will enjoy it.

Jerryl:

If you followed the link and my instructions you should have no problem
finding the 18 page build called "My little CNC - First Party".
By using Google for language translation, you can get it with English text,
or whatever language you need, but be sure to tell Google to search
for Spanish pages/websites.

What it is: its a 18 page build log of a mostly aluminum cnc router design
using extruded aluminum and solid AL plate, and it is beautiful not only
in the use of hi-res pictures, but the detailed and many pics of the step
by step build.

Hope this helps.

That's a beautiful machine

Some of the translations made me laugh too... interesting to know that the 900W power of a Kress spindle isn't 'turkey mucus' ... and what are the many references to strawberries???

Man that had to cost him some money to build that. Laser cuts, the drawn out pressed stainless steel mounts. Unless of course he worked at a machine shop.

[wongster]

Mmm... most impressive DIY for the deep pockets and unlimited tools.

I will try to source for alu profile for use as my base and try to work out the rest without the expensive and complex stuff.

Nice! Now that's a "desktop" machine!

[wongster]

Beauty is the word!!! I love this!!!

Where can I find information on this?

^^ This is the english "translated" website.. The original is at:

http://www.devilmaster.org/sections....ticle&artid=40

and is in Spanish... but the pictures of the build are great!

[Ketchak]

Happy with your comments.

This is a long work, around a year to build this machine and later... everything disassembled to the pics for your "view".

ZipSnipe the price of Laser cut is not high. Four parts like this:

is around 70€ in 6mm of thickness.
The parts in stainless steel they are made in my habitual work but replaceable for other more simple.

The machine run good, my last work is this:


This base is cut starting off of a rectangular piece of cooper to 5mm thickness and milled in two sides.



The Kress is great...

Sorry my english.

Wow what a great machine, beautiful contruction

[wongster]

Hi Ketchak,

Sorry to be a bug. Are you able to share your drawings with dimension of your gantry plates?

What are the lengths of the alu profiles you used? Looks like 4040 and 4080 but I can't be sure.

I'm using your build as my target. Got the rails you used on the z-axis from ebay.

Appreciate if you could help.

Regards,
Wongster

About 8-10 months ago I found the Ketchak website and "I fell in love" with his CNC machine, so, I decided to build a similar machine.

I´m using linear ball bearings on 16mm unsupported shafts for X and Y axis, bronze bushings on 12mm shafts for z axis, 1/2-10 acme screws with dumpsterCNC anti-backslah delrin leadnuts for all axis, 8040 and 4040 aluminum profile and aluminium plate for gantry supports. Many of this materials come from industrial waste dumpsters.

Here some images of my design, it isn't finished yet but I think is decent to show in the forum. I hope you have opinions or cuestions about it.

[wongster]

Very nice!

May I know what software you use to do up the design?

Nice looking machine :cheers: I was going to say it looked a little "flexible" till I saw the tig welding on the boss's.....PC watercooling is something I thought about last week (noisy fans) I made this watercooled PC 6 years ago.....I just love pipework going all over the place

[eesanopi]

Very nice!

May I know what software you use to do up the design?

Software is SolidWorks
