My first ever built CNC router.

[Timatronics]

Hello Tim B,


Welcome to this forum.

This one of the best places to get information on diy cnc builds.

Most people post their ideas and design concideration in a ( pre ) build log.

So people can help you narrow down any options you have for size machine, materials to use, purpose of the machine, trusted suppliers, budget and so on.

Any 1st reply to a build log starts with don't buy electronics kits.
Finish you design before buying anything.
Post design pictures
Ask for critique


So you don't waist any money.

I have one cost nutral tip.

Swap the bearing blocks and rail on the z axis.
So the rails are on the moving part of the z axis.


You will find here what you are looking for.

Grtz Bert.

Thanks for the reply.

Yea, I was expecting a few "don't buy anything yet" responses and completely understand. I tend to rush into things which could possibly be a massive downfall but I also like learning from mistakes although potentially expensive ones.

Thanks for the advice on the z axis. I will consider it for sure. Whats your reasoning behind it out of interest?

Thanks

Tim B
