Thread: First CNC build 2x1.5 meter

	17-04-2019 #1So we are building a CNC Router. 
 
 And i am in the designing phase
 
 . 
 
 The machine should primarily cut wood, but should be able to handle aluminium at a decent speed.
 
 Electronics (had this from an earlier project)
 Nema 23, 420 oz steppers 2 for the x axis and 1 for y and 1 for z with
 Gecko 540 drive.
 UC100
 
 Spindle
 2.2kw watercooled chineese thing from cnc4you.co.uk //thank you Clive S
 
 Frame
 Supported x side would consist of 120x80 mm aluprofiles
 Legs will be 80x80 alu profiles
 
 
 
 The gantry is where i have a few isssues i dont wanna make it to complexm i am considering adding another 80x80 profile so that it will be 80x240
 
 
 Linier motion
 sbr25 supported round rails for y and x
 For z (400-500mm) I am considering square rails or the round unsupported since I have been told on another forum that the sbr may not be the best for Z
 
 I have chosen the round rails due to the cost and from what I can figure out it has an accuracy of 0.01 mm over 1-2 meters.
 
 rm2010 ballscrews for x and y
 rm1605 ballscrews for z
 
 A lot of people have advised rack and pinion but to me, it seems a more complex solution with a lot of issues,
 I dont have a reason really other than I am in love with ballscrews (i know about whipping)
 
 I have also been advised to move the ballscrew up so it is a little higher up than the sacrificial plate.Last edited by Dakn; 17-04-2019 at 03:54 PM.
