I made them from scratch using 2x1 inch 1/8 inch wall rectangular tube and welded them up. But every place is different.

Thank you and I have not. I will check it out.

Oh I like their choice of umbrella

here you go... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4572492

thank you!

Thank you!

Oh that's a good point. Once things are up and running again hit me up here and I'll put you and your group on the list. #nocoverformakers

Oh cool. My Dad grew up in Granby. I leaned to ski at Silver Creek, (Now named something different?)

Thank you. I like your engraver. Reusing the metal cases was neat.

Thanks. You are a prolific Instructaballer! Not sure how you settled on RatFink as an avatar?

Oh and you are a fellow coloradoan... I saw your "high altitude brownies" and I was like 'how high?"

Well done! I've done a bunch with MDF and I don't envy all that sanding. Nice machine as well.

Thank you. You have 340 instructables? My goodness you are a force! p.s. Penolopy is an awesome name!

Ha ha, nice. Thank you.

There are 4 motors. the Y is doubled up. I can get you a dxf of the end pieces.. but I have a ton of stuff to do before I have time to organize my file. I need to publish all the updates I have made to the machine first.

I am very happy. I have upgraded all the things in this CNC that I was not happy with and now it is down to moving to rack and pinion and removing the belts but they are good enough that I don't have to think about this any time soon.

Excellent work! And the Instructable is top notch.

Fun project but I do not recommend wearing aluminum. I had an aluminum bracelet for a while and it created a chronic ache in my wrist which was alleviated shortly after I removed the bracelet.

thanks

year delay on response here... I have never seen any evidence of the steps in my work.

The machine jogs at twice the speed it can reliably cut so it's quite usable. I could get the jog speed up quite a bit if I took the micro-stepping down because I have maxed out the parallel ports ability to deliver steps

Accuracy is pretty good. I have not taken the time to really measure and tweak things to see how far down I can get it but I am very satisfied given the price savings over Rack and pinion. That being said, Rack and pinion is worth it if you can afford it.

Excellent advice. I'll add that to the instructable. Thanks!

Thanks! looking forward to seeing it!

I have never seen any evidence of the resolution in my pieces, no.

Thank you very much!

Thank You.

Wow! Incredible.

Speed for me is limited by the play in the machine. If you go too fast it deflects significantly. Also my spindle only turns at 13,000 rpm so I am limited by that. A good spindle could do double that.

Thanks

Nice. If you remember send me the link here. motors are linked in step 20.

This is incredible. It is an honor to have been destroyed so thouroughly in the CNC contest.

Thanks

Oh yep. Nice catch.. fixing. Thank you.

Thank you.

Can't wait to see it, you do good work.

Remember they only have to be as strong as what ever is making contact with your work piece. For me... 95% of the time that is a 1/8 inch bit. That being said I am more than satisfied with the lateral strength of my machine. I can't really budge it by leaning on it. I don't think my motors are strong enough to induce any deflection.

Beautiful!

My spindle is very quiet and very affordable. Excellent work, especially given your limited resources!

An excellent instructable! I will likely reference it when I get around to making a Jog Dial for mine.

Thanks! The video walk-through is getting added tonight.

Thanks!

Excellent, Thank you for the info. I have a few more updates to do today and I'll included this in the revision. Driving around last night I realized I have completely omitted the decking and surfacing.

Thank you.

Wow, very nice compliment, thank you.
