In the first video of this CNC milling series, you’ll learn how to turn a drawing or a 2D file into a 3D file using Fusion360.
Mekanika’s goal is to facilitate local communities’ access to manufacturing processes, through open source tools and quality educational content.
The objective is to help create, prototype or produce small series with quality tools, which can be made by yourself or by ordering kits.
Each tool and machine we design are:
– entirely open source ;
– designed for disassembly – and therefore repairable, upgradable and non-obsolescent ;
– made for professional use ;
You can either buy a kit to support the project here: https://www.mekanika.io/r/cnc-catalogue
or download our extended documentation to make our CNC machine by yourself: https://www.mekanika.io/r/cnc-os

With development of lasers, laser marking machine are widely use in many industrials.
Many clients know how to operate it, but while have mechanical problems, some don’t know how to do it.
We are manufacturer for laser machines for 15 years, so we produce the videos to guide you to solve the problem.
00:00 Problem description
00:32 STEP 1: Check if the machine is powered
01:32 STEP 2: Check in EZCAD software to see the the parameters and ports
04:53 STEP 3: Check the red power supply, if malfunctioning or not
06:17 STEP 4: Check the red light cable connector, whether is damaged or not
06:59 STEP 5: Check the red light device whether is damaged or not

3D printing has become much cheaper and accessible, but there has been a lack of decent CNC routers at the same price point. Now the 3018 CNC Pro from Sainsmart aims to fill that void.
Featuring a working volume of 300 x 180 x 45mm, this CNC router goes together well and is capable of machining timber, acrylic and aluminium. It can also engrave copper to make custom PCBs. This machine largely succeeded with everything I threw at it. For this low price plus a one year warranty, I am very impressed and recommend this for beginners looking to get into the hobby.
I have done a fair bit of CNC machining over the years by am by no means a professional machinist. I look forward to the great tips knowledgeable viewers will post in the comments to assist others.
For any cutters you buy, ensure they are 1/8 inch or 3.175mm in shank diameter.
UPDATE: I have a follow up video upgrading this machine. https://youtu.be/Q4TrzshXV10
Purchase the Genmitsu 3018 CNC router:
Amazon (machine): https://amzn.to/2LANGFQ
Amazon (offline controller): https://amzn.to/2XINLOq
Amazon (laser add on, untested by me): https://amzn.to/2xqTIAv
If you can’t get shipping from Amazon, you can buy it direct from Sainsmart (unfortunately more expensive): https://www.sainsmart.com/collections/cnc/products/sainsmart-genmitsu-cnc-router-3018-pro-diy-kit
