New build help needed

**arg123** · 13-12-2015

Thank you George,

I usually buy electronics from ebay and if I need aluminum from Misumi Europe.
My aim is definitely to learn how to make one. I set up a budget around 3500 - 4000 euros.
I was using sketchup before but now I am going to get a grip with fusion 360 for my 3d printing parts.

I will try to design the base looking at others build threads hoping that I will find the answer to my question about the cutting area(width) somewhere in the forum. Then maybe I will get some helpful comments.

If you add about 300mm to the length and about200mm to the width you won't be far wrong. When you draw it in cad you can check as it depends on what spacing's you use for your bearing blocks. Good luck with the build.

And you haven't had some already
