Inquiring Minds want to Know?
beamsjr,
You must really be excited about starting your build. Good luck.
You know the drill!
What size cutting area?
What controller and motors?
What spindle/router?
Planning on using a "SuperPID"?
Any & all design decisions made or under consideration are of great interest.
I am also about to embark down the build path. Some decisions have been made others are yet TBD. What I know as of now:
3' x 4' cutting area.
Mostly 80/20 base/frame. (may incorporate alum plate &/or MDF for gantry uprights, based on budget vs expense)
R&P for the X & Y axis'.
Acme for Z-Axis.
CNCRouterparts carriages.
G540 driver w/ appropriate motors.
I'm still in the design/planning phase, but will be ordering parts soon and complete the design around parts aquired and budget. I'll be watching your progress intently.
Good luck with your build. Remember to post lots of pic's!
Randy,
I may not be good....
But I am S L O W!!
