Well so much for the build log,
to be honest all the steps up to this point have been so embaresingly shoddy i just couldnt bring myself to show them (at least not without knowing if it'd work)

i built it a few days after my last post but wired my motors up wrong and blew 2 drivers and so i've just been having to look at it for two weeks till i could get more not knowing if it even works

I've had a good look around and i'm sure this is the worst build here but it works!

heres some pics anyway



i'm sure you can see after seeing them pics why i NEED a cnc machine, acuracy aint something i've much pacience for unless i'm on a computer, i allways find myself getting pi++ed off and just whacking loads of gripfill all over the place.

building that 'machine' has curtainly given me a much better idea of how i' going to build my next one.

next thing to do is buy a few meters of toothed belt and have a muck about

hey, if it works dont knock it. for us amatures the first machine is simply a means of learning and then to build a better one. i started a build log but havent done much lately, money is a bit tight at the moment. i have just done some designing on solidworks to try and visualise what i will be building. i see what you mean about the gripfill, deadly stuff

keep at it, its a bit of a steep learning curve but the guys on here are great for advice and,no doubt, when you get this one running ok you will soon be cutting bits for your next one...minus the gripfill:naughty:
