The £200 CNC

[Wotsit]

Did a bit more today, still waiting for my alu angle to arrive from ebay so not that much done.

I got a PC from freecycle the plan was to use it to run the machine but when I picked it up it was only a 486SX.

It should make a great case for my power supply and driver. I have kept the original power supply because i think I might need 5V at a later date its so old the power supply is linear!

I wanted to use Delrin for my lead screw nuts, but the space is very limited in the Z axis so i put in the middle of the MDF square and bedded it in with a little Epoxy.

My M8 "Leadscrews' :heehee: arrived, they were really rough, so i ran a die nut down them an put them over the buffing wheel, made a massive difference, Delrin now spins down freely.
