Homemade CNC with 3D Printed Parts - Redesign
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2018
- Update 28 sept 2019: I've created a new version, check it out here: • 3D Printed CNC Machine V3
---
This is the second version of my DIY homemade CNC. It's a complete redesign because of some issues that I've had with the first one. The main issue with the first version was that the wooden Y axis was getting warped (by moisture I guess). Also the bearings were too small and the aluminium X rails were not strong enough to carry the weigth. That's why I've switched over to use 20mm x 20mm square steel tubes for both Y- and X axis.
I've designed the 3D printed parts with Fusion 360 and used Inkscape for the Y axis drilling template. To control the machine I'm using an Arduino UNO with GRBL firmware and an Arduino CNC Shield. There are plenty of tutorials to find on how to connect and use it so I did not show it in the video. Here are some useful links:
* [GRBL](github.com/gnea/grbl)
* [Arduino CNC Shield](blog.protoneer.co.nz/arduino-...)
If you want to build one yourself you can download all the necessary files from the V2 directory on GitHub. But I don't have enough time to give you much support so build it at your own risk! :)
GitHub link:
github.com/leonvandenbeukel/H...
The 3D printer I use is an Anet A8. The parts are printed with PLA, mostly 20% infill and 0.2 or 0.4 setting. Use higher infill for parts that must be stronger, for example the stepper motor mounts.
Cost estimation:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Dimensions:
Base front multiplex Y panels are 710 x 180 x 22 mm or 28" x 7" x 0.86".
The laminated MDF X Axis side panels are 180 x 370 mm or 7" x 14.4".
The tubes are 20mm x 20mm (0.78") square steel tubes. The length of the Y Axis tubes is 1000mm (40") and the length for the X Axis is approx. 820mm (32"). As an alternative you could also use other dimensions than 20mm x 20mm (maybe even rounded tubes) as long as they are approximately that size.
The Z axis tubes are 15mm x 15mm (0.59") aluminium square tubes, approx. 215mm long (8.5"). You should measure this for yourself, check the video build.
The threaded rods for Y and X rails are 8 mm (0.31") stainless steel.
To power the NEMA 17 stepper motors I've converted an old ATX PC power supply and used the 12V output. The type of stepper motors I use for the Y- and Z axis are: 17HS19-2004S1, the type for the X axis is: 42BYGHW811. For the wiring I've used CAT5 network cable.
Software that I mostly use to generate and send GCode:
* bCNC (github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC)
* Universal Gcode Sender (github.com/winder/Universal-G...)
* Easel by Inventables (easel.inventables.com)
* Fusion 360 with CAM (www.autodesk.com/products/fus...)

WOW! This is THE best and most complete video of a DIY CNC router I've seen so far.... Amazing! I hope you keep up the fantastic work. Thank you so much for this... you've provided links and sources more than enough for someone else to complete their own project. this is the best of the best!
Leon, to say Wow about your new machine is an understatement. I am reasonably new to cnc and 3d printing however, you have shown us how limitless these tools can be.
Thank you for sharing your project with us. Truly Amazing!
Finally, a real project and not a benchy.....
My hat is off to you sir!
Totally agree....... BUT, I'll die laughing if he now CNC's a Benchy.
I made my own 3D printer. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
People like you that are more knowledgeable on this than others and willing to share just shows how good a person you are. You can expect some bucks.
Thank you Mark
Beautifully designed project. Love your attention to detail. Thank you for sharing the video (I also hope people know how much effort goes into making these videos and appreciate the effort there too ✌🏼🙏🏼)
Holy moly, this is so cool!!! I wish I could design parts like you do, as that was the most impressive feed in your project, IMO.
Kasokz you can. Just get on TH-cam and search for some FreeCad videos and learn something new. It takes some effort but it is well worth it. I'm in my mid 60's and just now getting into it and having a lot fun learning how to design stuff in FreeCad and then printing it on my Ender 3Pro.
@@krisknowlton2658 Glad I am not the only one - cheers!
I came for the slider mechanism.. And was not disappointed! One of the best on TH-cam... Pure genius! .... Need it for a router /cutter project.. Thanks
I'm somewhat taken back by the sheer awesomeness of this project. Absolutely brilliant.
This is the most amazing build i've seen in a long time, i envy your skills.
Congratulations! Amazing design! I'll copy that when my 3d printer arrive
Well done, I plan on building one soon, very inspiring.
me to
Muito inspirador.
Just got my Anet A8 today (and upgrades), can't wait to build it so I can do stuff like this!!!
Wow, such great design! Very inspiring indeed. Thank you!
cetus 3d
I had a CNC mill which i turbed into 3d printer. Then i printed parts for Prusa Mendel i2, assembled it and restored my CNC. Profit!
Awesome design, Thank you Leon. Buying you a coffee. Printing mine this weekend and much of next week. I plan on modifying to accept alternate heads. First will be 10 Watt laser. I have a modified stepper mount that should print on all printers without sag at bridges. Printer is a HIGHLY MODIFIED Folger tech Prusa I3. converted to lead screws. Printing PLA .4 .25 1mm shells 25% infill.
Good sir you have successfully revolutionized diy for cnc machines again.
Oh i love this organic SOUND
Hi Leon, have completed the build, added limit switches and cable chains. All is working well thanks for this great project.
David did you test your build?. Please share it if you like.
That's awesome David!
@@vasilisvorrias9848 I have just tested it and it is quite accurate and stable. Am using Fusion 350 with OpenBuilds GRBL Post Processor and a Spark Concept xPro V3 Control board with GRBL v1.1. Everything seems to be working well.
Diseño cerrado bello diseño de piezas y eficiencia operativa. Felicitaciones
WOW, very enjoying to watch didn't miss a second. very clever, complex, and detailed project. I've built a small CNC, using 3d part and extrusion. and It took me a hell of a time to print those part. Watching what you did print out as 3d parts, it should month until u print all of them, and always I hesitate to get involved in a big project. But, it's lecon I've learned from you. Thank you very much. You gave me a boost. Thanks again for sharing knowledge
Those rails are really neat. Nice job man!
Wow that was awesome thanks for sharing
That’s a masterpiece. You have some mad skills. Your video was a pleasure to watch. Well done.
My mind is blown. I actually started almost the exact same build (Using the same-dimension square tubing and the same bearings), but have since changed my approach. It's pretty awesome to see you get it working this way!
Awesome Leedan!
That machine of yours is beautifully designed. Thank you for sharing.
Even tho im not going to make one, but what an informative vid you have done and shows of what 3d printing is meant for. 3d printers are for products cheaper and to the owners design.
not just for making key rings so to speak. as one would just goto shop and buy such junk.
i use my Anet A8 to make templates and jigs & parts that are to expensive to buy .
Anyway thank you for showing.
Amazing design, simple enough, I love it. It definitely will be my next CnC project. Thanks !!!! and Good JOB!!!
I think I may just try and build one of these, after I build the enclosure for my 3d Printer which I am already working on. Thank you for the plans and ideas!
2 words : AMAZING and WONDERFUL.
Thank you! I'm inspired now to try to build my own, as opposed to shelling out 1200 bucks or more for a kit.
Thank you so much. This is pure awesome. You are a great craftsman. 😀😋🙌🏻🖖🏻👌🏻👍🏻
very nice realization, congratulations for your work LEON
Great job Leon!!! Many thanks for sharing your project. Cause we are living in very interesting technological time, we can create a new better world. I hope better one... With your project of course :)
Just pressed buy on a 3d printer specifically to make one of these. Will buy you a coffee :D.
Did you make it?
Did you make it?
Did you make it?
This is a little late make sure your 3D printer has a heated bed and use sugar and water brush it on the bed as it heats up the sugar caramelised the first layer will stick with out warping once cooled it will just pop off easy no scratch or scraping the bed can be done with PLA and ABS inclose the printer when doing ABS. And? Message me.
Did you make it?
Молодец. Отличный аппарат. На то как ты это всё делал и собирал, можно смотреть вечно.👍
Good job, Leon. It is amazing design. Thank you for sharing.
Omg I’m so excited!!!! Found this and have already printed off 3 of the parts!! Can’t wait!! Thanks Leon!!!!
this is what 3d printers are for. not printing bloody vases
benchies !!!
nuff said... I bought mine to build jigs if I buy a couple of them they are way more expensive then one decent 3d printer
michael garbutü
xD
Finally someone else who believes the way that I do BUT after 6 years I find the 3d parts to not live up to my expectations. There are filaments out there *Delrin/Acetal" that is a whole lot better at parts but makes ABS warping issues look like a Sunday school picnic PLUS 100 USD per kilo is crazy. What I would hope to do is make this then slowly CNC the parts from Aluminum. Even if the ugliest things they then could be used in place of the bendy plastic which would then be used to make the proper parts.
3d printer utilization at it's best
Nice project. I'm thinking about building one myself. So far i've only seen people doing the the X and Y axis guide using linear bearing slide and your idea of using regular ball bearings and square tubes might really help me save some bucks.
Fan de bricolage en tout genre, je suis admiratif, excellent travail, bravo !
Amazing Work, Really!
The sped up sounds are mesmerizing haha
Very good video Leon, I enjoy watching it. Congratulations for your design. Looks very robust.
Bravissimo hai prodotto un utensile magnifico, congratulazioni :-)
Increible amigo..
Second improve idea. Use phenolic plywood instead of mdf. It is much more weather resist
Or even Baltic Birch plywood perhaps with lacquer?
Está fabulosa genial trabajo Enhorabuena
PARABÉNS,! MARAVILHOSO PROJETO!
Инженер-это состояние души)
Good job
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing so much info, much appreciated.
es un hermosos trabajo en que 3d hiciste las piezas es inspirador felicitaciones
Thank u very much good job . I think this would be my next project
Amazing! I guess you've built a 3D printer with CNC-milled parts :)
Thanks Leon! I have gotten some inspiration from your great looking machine!
Splendid!
Thank you for the video, sir!
That is an impressive design! Someone buy this man a beer!
Great design. Where are the STL files for downloading?

BRAVO, excellent, ingénieux... respect Monsieur
Finally i watched a good TH-cam video after long time. The time was well spent and thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Hasanthi.
Great Project ! Now to add dust collector to cyclone filter with vacuum cleaner.... :-)
Хорошая работа. Но выбор материалов не совсем правильный. Направляющие по оси Z - из алюминия? Тогда они быстро износятся и появятся недопустимые зазоры. Даже если станок будет использоваться на лёгких работах - обработка мягких пластиков или дерева, например.
(00.20) - Стальная квадратная труба. Только где автор нашел ее НЕ РЖАВУЮ - непонятно.
странно, выглядит именно как алюминий. Вот по оси У понятно, что металл сразу )
Там же написано, труба и шпильки нерж
A beautiful project, and even better video ... heartily thank you. :)
Awesome! 😱 Exactly what I neet! Great design! Good job!
Nice, but here is a pointer. If any of that Loctite gets on your plastic parts they are toast!
Sotm no it isn’t I glue my plastic parts all the time with loctite, in fact I’m doing it right now, never once have I had a problem
For your info Loctite is NOT a glue, it a metal to metal binder, and it WILL TURN PLASTIC BRITTLE given time!!
No it doesn’t
You will discover when it happens!
You must mean Loctite brand name epoxy then! Not actual Loctite.
And this is what TH-cam should be for, NOT for watching kittens!
Very nice CNC and looks simpler than the others.
i love it. this is superb leon!
aluminum 20x20 it's bad, ferrum it's good ! hevy metall ;)
That's beautiful! This is the kind of stuff I want to do.... when I get time.
Very nice that you kept original sounds!
beautiful (re)design, a very pleasant video to watch
I want say something this time AWESOME i like the method using a printed paper to locate the position of the drill hole. Thanks very much for this share.
impressive and very satisfying to watch 👍🏻
Very nice job, seems to cut well too, thanks for sharing.
Fue un placer ver tan buen trabajo.
Totally amazing! I appreciate you posting this video. Great inspiration for the tinkerer and visionaries within all of us. Please post more! Soon!
Thanks, I'll do my best to post more soon 🙂. Suggestions for a new project are welcome!
I'm very, very impressed. Good work!
Just awesome, incredible work...
Good work man
Quite appreciable work👌👌
Excellent. I picked up some good ideas. Would really have liked a voiceover with some of your reasons for particular design choices.
I'm really digging this design. So awesome!
Amazing , easy & economical method
Realy Realy good Job m8!!! I love your CAD skills
Love that high speed sound
Amazing work of art very well done and precise good for you keeping the maker space going!!!!
Thanks!
Great project. I've built my own also using printed parts. Worst part of that is waiting for the prints !
This is really inspiring. Good job 😊
Well, I've been wondering what I could print on my new 3d printer. I think I'm going to give this a shot. Fingers are crossed and I hope it works because I'd really like to get this CNC built. Nice video. Thanks a bunch.
wow man, this is amazing, congrats!
Die Anet A8 ziet er goed afgesteld uit! Mooie prints en mooi eindresultaat. Petje af
This looks fantastic, well done. What level of fine adjustment can you make/achieve in each axis? Were you able to measure the accuracy of follow throughout the cut plane in each axis? This looks dependant on how well you can setup the rails upon which your bearing surfaces run. As you only used a square to mount the rails and I didn't see any fine adjustment screws on any of the mounts I assume you achieved the level of accuracy you are after. This of course is most accurate at the dead zero position centre of all axes and lessons the further you mill from that point. How might it compare with a commercial machine?
Absolutely awesome. Got my grey matter thinking.
Very cool. Maybe include a part list for the printed parts.
LEGAL CARA MUITO BOM. SIMPLES E DIRETO. TOP! SIMPOL AND DIRECT
Spectacular, you're a genius
Wow! Thank you for sharing your work-I've been looking for ways to improve my diy cnc.
Nice job. Love the colour.
molto bello, ti faccio i miei complimenti. sei un grande.
Very nice I will have a go at this when I get the time well done
