Came across this yesterday, thought Id share looks a decent low cost build.

This is perhaps one of the most interesting applications for 3D printing I've seen in some time. Looks like a lot of thought went into the 3D parts. I say that not beign a huge fan of plastic parts in machine tools nor unsupported rails. The thing is this appears to be a very competent light weight machine.

In a few places I'd rather see those 3D printed parts be used as patterns for Aluminum castings but you can't have everything.

Having gone from a Shapeoko2 to building my own machine I must say that I don't think the machine above is going to be as rigid as it should be. Especially when you consider strapping that big router onto it.

he shows it cutting an aluminium cog which seems to be showing its accuracy, i was amazed that this could be done using mainly 3d printed parts.
