Hey guys...
I've decided to start building a rather large CNC Mill a little while back...
Pulled the trigger and got most of the extruded aluminum frame, as well as some 1.5" plate that I had a friend make me a nice T-Slot work surface.
Work area is a bit overkill...
X = 40"
Y = 20"
Z = 18"
Definitely not featherweight that's for sure !!!
To keep everything in check and movement fluid i sprung for some "muscle"...
Using 4x 1600oz NEMA34 Frame motors with encoders as well as decent drivers ( 2HSS1108H - main deciding factor for me was... no need for external power supply for drives! )
Either way, kids have it set into their head that it should be a 3D printer as well.. so... yeah... some further "planning" required!
I currently have the
Smooth Stepper USS but I haven't found/seen any info on functionality as 3D printing...
I did stumble across
Planet CNC's MK3 9Axis USB module claiming to support 3D printing as well as making chips
Any ideas or input on this ??
