Will's Fabber Blog: Penny wise, pound foolish

http://wills-fabber-blog.blogspot.com/2008/07/penny-wise-pound-foolish.html

Wednesday, July 2, 2008. Penny wise, pound foolish. Xylotex three-axis controller with power supply. Xylotex four-axis controller with power supply. So I'll plan to pick up a 3-axis controller and run it with LinuxCNC. Is also very popular but I'm not about to run DOS on any machine that could be running Linux. The mechanics cost about $300 including shipping. The steppers cost $75 (I got them from RRRF. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map. Will's blog (everything else).

Scavenging adventures among the mountains of computer carrion, and open source technologies. And now for the ritual plotter dance. X axis: epson scanner carriage and bipolar stepper, driven by A4983. Y axis: star micronics matrix printer carriage, bipolar stepper, driven by A4983. Z axis: sony cd-rom mechanism, cable and stepper motor, driven by L293D and an Arduino duemilanove. Home made breakouts,. Computer: salvaged P4 Compaq with 1 gig RAM that was being thrown out to the garbage.

Halloween Milling

http://blog.weinigel.se/2013/11/halloween-milling.html

Nov 18, 2013. A few years ago I bought a cheap CNC mill from China. It’s actually a CNC engraving machine , but it’s actually robust enough so that it can mill wood and soft metals such as aluminum. Ḯ’ve been using it to build electronics prototypes, both for milling PCBs and for milling enclosures. To control the CNC mill I have been using LinuxCNC (formerly known as EMC2). LinuxCNC takes a toolpath written in G-code. For PCB milling I’ve been using a tool called pcb2gcode. Unfortunately PyCAM and I don...

Gweeds.net - CNC - Introduction

http://www.gweeds.net/cnc.html

I like to make things and what better than to have your very own CNC router machine to do so. I started making my own CNC router but found I could get a complete unit out of China for less than it would cost for all the bits once you factor in improvements and design errors. Here's what I ended up getting:. The Controller and Software. As mentioned it connects to the PC via a parallel or centronics cable. The software controlling it is as mentioned EMC2. This runs under ubuntu and has some nice f...The m...
