Hi,
I've spent a lot of time on CNCzone and other websites learning and researching CNC machines.
I've also spent a very long time drawing and designing my CNC machine on Inventor.
Right now, I have a fixed gantry, 12"x12"x3" cutting area, and a budget of $400 (student's budget).
This week I will be buying all of my parts. Tomorrow, I'm going to the local metal shop to buy angled aluminium, 3/8" Al. rod for motor spacers, 1 1/2" Al. rod for homemade couplers, and 1/4"x1'x2' Al. for reinforcing plates.
Check out my design, it took 2 months of drawing a few dozens pages and designing it in Inventor. Hopefully everything works out!
Quite excited to start,
John
