Homemade Steel Frame CNC Router – Design, Build, Test

Whitman Technological

November 29, 2022



I needed a better CNC router so I took to FreeCAD to create a workable design. I sourced up all the parts and welded the frame together. I slapped a 6-axis GRBL build onto an Arduino Mega 2560, piped it into a breadboard and out to some Nema23 steppers. They roll through 3D printed gears to ballscrews that drive the whole mess.

When it was all done, four months had passed. I routered up some softwood, then engraved some acrylic. I wrote an autoleveler into my CNC controller software, then probed and milled a circuit board. Finally, I stumbled through trying to mill 0.25” aluminum with a HSS bit. Darn near didn’t get that done.

In the end, I have a new CNC router that should be more than capable of doing the things I need done for the next few years. I hope you enjoy the video. If you want to look at the CAD file, or try to make one of these, visit this web page:

3D PRINTED CNC CUTS METAL (from scratch)

3D PRINTED CNC

It works! The 3D Printed CNC MkII is finished and it works beautifully. I made a test cut for an HTD5M 100 tooth gear in less than 45 minutes in 6mm aluminium plate and it was perfect!! Imagine what can we do with this!!!
Incredibly I did not break a single bit during the making on this video, I invested quite some time with that poplar soft plywood refining the process and I go quite good at it (as good as to not break bits).

As you may remember there was a previous version of this that ended up becoming a donor in a “part” emergency. This revised version is easier to assemble, more refined and can be printed in smaller printers.

This video has no sponsored components, all the parts I used I bought them myself.

DIY Epoxy Granite CNC Milling Machine Mold for the Bridge Part1

3D Meister

November 23, 2022



Building a casting mold for the bridge of the CNC machine with laminated boards; Threaded inserts for the linear guides, ballscrews, stepper mounting and the holes for the connection to the first part, the base. A granite board underneath provides the flatness. Inside edges are sealed with silicon and the inner faces are coated with separating wax.
Volume ca: 75 liter
All ready for the mineral cast with epoxy and rock and gravel…

Steel Frame Fabrication – DIY CNC Plasma Table – Ep. 1

Building a CNC plasma table from scratch with a friend from Blackloop CNC. I’m doing the easy part of steel work, fabrication and welding. He’s the specialist who builds CNC tables, routers and 3D printers too, on his spare time currently still as a hobby. This is the first episode in a series of upcoming episodes about this plasma table. I still need to add water pan with sheet holding ribs in it, install the electrical box somewhere, make some usable surface underneath the plasma table etc. And finally build an addition to my workshop only to separate the plasma table from the grinding dust in the workshop. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
