Looking at all the many build logs, I wondered if anyone would find a basic gantry design, that's open source useful?

I know many people enjoy the process of design from scratch and going though several builds to get to a 'prefect' machine, but I also see a lot of posts where people ask the same questions or make the same basic mistakes. Many people are all trying to build the same kind of machine after all.

A 'MyCNCUK' router design would also make a good start for a standard kit of parts, a bit like RepRap did with 3d printers...

It might also be a way for some people to mass produce parts, like the gantry side plates, which are hard for a beginner to fab without a CNC machine!

It may also allow for some bulk group buys of rails, bearings, spindles, VFD's ect.


Maybe there is already something like this, that isn't the OX thing?


Just a thought!
