Description
Cartesio is a 3 axis printed Carthesian CNC machine.
The machine is designed to hold multiple tools at its toolhead.
This way one could connect a mill and/or a 3Dprint extruder and/or....
The axis are powered by 3 NEMA23 steppers, which are about the smallest in the lineup.
The max feedrates, with these small motors, are for X and Y 2400mm/min, and for Z 660mm-min
Rather then having one long (endless) page here, I divided the assembly instructions in to separate pages in the wiki. Please follow the links
Cartesio images
It is not exactly "Hello world" but it`s still the first milling experience for Cartesio.
The G-code was made with Skeinforge41. I`m still tweaking.
Cartesio uses 3 Hall-Θ endstop sensors
Cartesio uses a CNC arduino shield that can connect to a uno or a Mega.
It is still in prototype state, but information can be found here [2]

I will add the files at the appropriate pages of the assembly instructions.
Parts List
Assembly Instructions
Assembling the Cartesio is a relative easy process.
There are however a couple of things that have to be done in a certain sequence, otherwise you will be dis-assembling again and again.
So we will begin our journey at the Cartesio Base.
After that we will go to the Cartesio Z-axis.
Then straight to the Cartesio X-axis.
And finish at the Cartesio Y-axis
Setup
So now that you have setup the individual base and axis, now it is time to connect them all together.
