New Member & Build

[333-CNC]

Hello all, thought it was time to introduce myself and my CNC intentions. Last year I came across the 3d printed cnc router and thought I needed to build one so, after a little research I found myself wanting to build a much bigger, stronger and capable CNC router. I started designing last year and after researching this site I managed to come up with an idea of what I would like. I am hoping to have some constructive criticism from other members on my design. I also done the rookie error of purchasing certain parts that may be incorrect, but will right my wrongs at my expense! So a little background;

Machine intentions are to be able to comfortably machine soft & hard woods and ideally aluminium.
Machine size;
Gantry - 1700 mm with 1500 mm rails mounted to 80160 HD aluminium extrusion.
Z axis rails 400 mm with approx 175 mm travel
Y axis rails - 1500 mm
This gives a working area of (Y)1200 x 1300(X) allowing to use 4x4 ply or even 8x4 supported off the table, if this makes sense?
My design work is all done on Solidworks 2020.

Parts purchased;
2.2 Kw water cooled Spindle (Gpenny).
20mm square linear rails with bearings.
1605 ball screws for all axis (Concerned these may be incorrect for build).
Nema 23 steppers - 3Nm 4.2A - 23HS45-3504S.
Stepper drivers DM542T.

Below is a snip of the work so far;



It is work in progress but thought I would post before purchasing and designing anything else.
Thanks for reading and look forward to opinions

Regards

Rob
