I'll try to keep this as simple
Im looking to build a cnc machine similar to the size and power of the "Stupid Strong CNC" machine on youtube.
I have a budget of 700$ excluding the price of stepper motors and electronics.
I live in a country where importing anything from anywhere is very expensive (shipping, import taxes etc).
Materials I want Machine:
Aluminium (replacement parts for my 3D Printer)
PCB's
Plastic.
I can get trapezoidal screws and round stainless steel rods (not supported) locally. This would save me alot of money from importing "expensive" stuff from china.
My Questions:
1) Anyone have plans of a machine of that caliber I described?
2) Is it worth paying the extra cost for the linear rails/ supported rods and ball screws from china.
PS: Hiwin and such brands are out of my range. One such ballscrew would cost 1/2 of my whole budget.
