Hi Guys
I currently own a terrible Chinese made 'hobby' cnc machine. It's diabolical, but has got me some work over the past couple of years and now I need to upgrade.
I use it mainly for wood signs/v carving. But occasionally do other woodworking stuff.
Currently I have 300x300mm working area with a through bed.
I'm looking for either a kit build or a guide that I can follow to build a DIY machine. My budget is limited, 1k max. However, I can use the motors from the current machine (don't know the specs atm) and I also have 4 Zapp Nema23's from a 3d printer I played about with. I also have a SmoothieBoard which I can use.
New machine must be around 1000x600mm working area, with a through bed. Z travel doesn't need to be much, 100mm max? I'm guessing moving gantry is best.
So can anyone reccomend a starting place. I've browsed the build logs, but so many options and configurations!
