After selling our old DIY-built CNC machine, we now have a new one on loan from a member. Setup with housing and proper controls is in progress, hopefully ready soon. A great example of our free-to-use principle: members loaning their machines to the community when they don't need them at home.

I really want some custom made #HauntCult #Gothic bedroom and other room furniture. It's only 10% down with 12mo interest free payments.

Or, do I want to try making the stuff Myself since I'm buying a #CNCmachine and other tools next year? I'm not sure I trust My-beginner self to do a robust, complex canopy bed with storage.

It actually works!!!

With the spindle wired and secured I finally got to actually try it for the first time. Steppers still aren't controlled so I moved it by hand. This was really cool!

Feeding by hand and having a really loose clamp setup I didn't want to push it too far. Still, 1/8" and 1/4" bits in wood worked well. 1/8" in aluminum seemed promising if better clamped. I even tried out a badly unbalanced cheap Dremel saw with nice results.

#Machining #Maker #CNC #CNCMachine

The junction is wired! It's about as chaotic as I imagined it would be.

That leaves only a small junction and clamp on the side of the gantry before the mechanical side is completely done!

This has been almost 5 years in the making by now... This project has gone through so much.

#Maker #CNC #CNCMachine #Machining

I can't believe how long it's been since I last worked on this... things happened.

I finally put the junction box together. The paint job wasn't great and I wanted to redo it - months ago. By now I just don't care anymore.

The enclosure thus far. Plan today is to get the back cover plate finished.

#CNC #CNCMachine #Maker

Some more techniques I use. I'm sure most of you are familiar with these tools, but perhaps someone out there isn't. They're two of my all-time favorites.

I use scribe rulers to get very accurate marks. I use them a lot for wood working as well. Have one in metric and one in 'merican. Need more.

I use an optical center punch for marking. It illuminates and magnifies the marks beautifully. Built half the CNC before I got one.

This is the enclosure base. 2.5mm bolts.

This is how everyone makes their CNC machines, right?

This has been my process for all the metal plates, blocks, etc. Cut roughly, sand to spec, fine-tune as-needed.

These will be the sides of the gantry junction enclosure.

I want the cable runs isolated from components - to make them, or a bad cable, easy to swap. It also prevents flex/strain at the component side. This means lots of connections going in and out with proper strain relief.

I also want to be able to swap the spindle for a laser, so it needs a connector. Finding a good way to manage it all has been a pain.

Decided the hardest option is the one I want... So I'm going to make a custom metal enclosure.

Amazing update soon™...

So, the hardest part of building a CNC machine by hand isn't:

- designing the machine
- marking and drilling
- cutting all the metal
- making it all move smoothly
- rebuilding it after a flood

No. The hardest part, apparently, is making stuff fit into a junction box. Day 105 of just trying to finish up "simple" wiring. I think I've lost it.

Maybe I'll just build another machine already in a box - much easier. In fact... why didn't I think of that earlier? IT'S GENIUS.

Wow, been awhile; too much of a mess with other projects to deal with this. It's great to finally be finishing it up.

Had to rethink a lot to deal with the wiring I wanted. Moved the x limit switches onto the z-axis to consolidate them off one connector. Required making angled adapters.

Z-axis has an adjustable stop.

Spindle and z stepper have been terminated onto connectors. Need to make the panel that will join them with the longer cables, next. Then one for the x.

Figured I'd share this here. This was a... failed... attempt to design a minimalist-as-possible z-axis for the CNC which just ended up over-engineered.

Tried to base it all off a single piece of 2020 extrusion. Rails on the sides. Had to wrap around to connect to the spindle mount block. Custom made a bearing block that was more shallow.

It was just bad; too many imprecise variables, but I gave it a try. Current design is more sane.

Okay, so I set off with intent to get things done and became really sick for a week. Finally and slowly getting back into everything... again.

All the limit switches are mounted and wired and I feel like it's all just very chaotic now. Trying to come up with some reasonably-simple little junction at the z-axis to terminate everything and try to control all the wiring.

After far too much time removing old paint and prepping - things are looking blue. Not the greatest paint job but I like it.

Hoping to finish the reassembly tonight and then move on to the electronics and this project will finally be complete.

Soon it will have been a year since hurricane Ian nearly destroyed everything around me. I started working on this mini CNC machine almost 3 years ago. It sat entirely under flood water for 2-3 days after Ian. I've been gradually working on restoring, rebuilding, and finishing it for the past few months. Very big video to come out of all of this hopefully soon...ish. #maker #cncmachine #machines
