The Mostly Printed CNC is an inexpensive CNC platform based on 608 bearings, EMT conduit, and 3D printed parts. All axis can easily be made to any length within reason depending on desired rigidity.

History

Code Named Melvin CNC

The first files were relaesed on Thingiverse.com March 14th 2015. April 24th 2015 an international version was made to make this an easily sourced machine world wide. A large increase in rigidity was added with the "Better Middle Z" part for both machines. Only minor part revisions have been made since.

Introduction

This design started with the goal of being easily sourced inexpensive CNC platform capable of 3D Printing, laser etching, drag knife cutting, and most importantly milling with enough rigidity for light aluminum work.
