Continuing the build of the DIY CNC machine. Taking a while to get wiring right. Trying to avoid trouble shooting errors.

 

[PEB]

It's alive finally!!! it's running after months development work. Still a lot left but steppers are running an the controller running.

 

[PEB]

Testing the DIY CNC for the first time. Still a lot of work to do.

Doing some early CNC testing.

 

[PEB]

This is how the wiring currently looks have some work to do but made major progress this week. Unfortunately tomorrow I have to work on a bedroom remodel for my sister. lol

 

[PEB]

Got the Z axis running so all 3 axies are running now finally.

Just jogging X, an Z axies on my DIY CNC.

 

[PEB]

Everything running fine. Now on to spindle an proximity sensor wiring.

 

[PEB]

This is a future upgrade to my controller.

 

[PEB]

Finished wiring my DIY CNC pendant an now wiring my proximity sensors. That's the mess of wires on the table.

A little update photo of my DIY CNC build.

Some funny responses.

 

[PEB]

Increasing my Y axis gantry speed to double the speed from 1000mm to 2000mm per min . Working OK and continuing improving the speed an so far so good.

Progress photo of installing water cooling lines an spindle wiring fun times.

Setting up MDF size an tie down points.

 

[PEB]

Now installing the spoil board just incase of an accident can be replaced easier then the plates.

 

[PEB]

Getting closer to being able to do actual work finally.

 

[PEB]

Here is current level of DIY CNC. Doing a slow homing run o. All axes.

Geez, youve got some expensive hobbies!

Geez, youve got some expensive hobbies!

Not really a hobby looking to expand beyond 3D printing. I then felt like I wanted to work on signs, tabletops an doors. It also had to be WIFI capable an have a PC application to transfer files. This MASSO was the only tool that fit this bill. If I had bought this already partially assembled machine like an AVID it would have been 25k plus.

Yesterday a friend stopped by a multimillionaire oil man was retiring on Friday an wants to work with me on it. He seems more excited then me. Oh people I know stated with 1 3D printer now have up to 40 plus of them in just 2 years.

That business is expanding like crazy as well as custom milling. My friend recently had a birthday his wife bought him a picnic table with his last name cut by hand onto the table. He said she paid over 500 dollars he was like you could do the same in under two hours.

Got my spindle running with water cooling.

I am just about able to do a test run soon enough with my DIY CNC.
