- Some details about the finished product.
The controller is a bad little dude. Its got the program running, the graphical interface, the gcodes, and controls all the axis motors as well as looking at 4 prox sensors, and a few other I/O items. Ive got a handful of the controllers built out and programmed. I dont need them all so you can pick up one of the extras if you want. Limited supply, link below.
Sorry about the audio, got a cold and am pretty doped up on Dayquil.
These are the items that I used. So far holding up great!

Just so you know as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, and I super appreciate the spare change it brings. I only recommend items that I use and would buy again myself. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Im also interesting in buying a set of metal rollers from you and a controller.
Which axis'?
I added the controller to my website...
dcmotive.com/products/p/6-axis-external-driver-board-with-esp32-board
Awesome addition with the controller.
I'm currently building the 3d printed version fron JD's garage. I definitely see myself upgrading to aluminum and ball screws.
I'd be interested in buying the X,Y,And Z axis from you... very nice work by the way. Keep up the great content.
Thanks
Put me down for a set of the machine parts please 🙂 when you have them available
WoW WoW. Excellent job.
Very nice. Thanks
Hey what is the story about the bare metal CB750 in the background? I built one very similar for a customer about 10 years ago here in Houston TX. Yours looks very similar.
Had that one for about 12 years now. Its a 1970 CB750 cafe'd out. It doesnt get enough use and is a pain to clean and sync the carbs almost every time I drag it out. I ought to give it some love now that winter is dying down. Its fun, but thats one heavy beast when its ripping up to speed. We bought it in pieces from a guy that started to work on it, but it was a basket case that needed a ton of work. The metal work was started, but super rough. Had to do some disassembly smoothing and welding for that part.
What WiFi router do you have installed in the cabinet. I do not think you got back to this in the video. Reason for it is obvious enough - the ESP 32 does not have a strong enough signal...
Yeah I forgot to cover that, but thats mostly because its not super needed. But it is a GL-MT300N-V2. It was small enough, and there is a bracket to wall mount it that can be bought. It runs as a repeater for signal strength, and I went back and forth on the idea of mounting an external antenna with it bu hadnt yet, because I hadnt needed to.
Hey great build!. can you please let me know which controller board are you using to run the fluidnc?
Ive got the other boards Ive assembled and tested for sale here.

@@dcmotive Is there a schematic or manual so we know what we are getting with the controller? I've not seen your other videos, so I have no ideas of motors, do I need more drive current, why I might need or use 6 axis with a JD plasma cutter. So yeah...any documentation available before I buy?
Its just a controller, it doesnt contain motor drivers. So it works with whatever you want to drive, using your own motor drivers. The extra axis and extra outputs are for whatever you want. Maybe a rotary, or maybe setup a VFD and router/mill head. Its all DIY and just adds options, or it will also run a simple JD type of configuration. But I prefer the software for this one over the arduino options. It comes with some instructions, but its still DIY, im not supporting setting people up, but if you follow the basic instructions its a no brainer.@@timeconomu7395
Also, I made 10 extra units and am selling the ones Im not using, Im not marketing these. Just selling them for pretty much cost. Once they are gone, they are gone.@@timeconomu7395
I'm at the stage with my JD garage build that I'll try the arduino first, but if yours decides to get some documentation, I would def look at that. Thank you for the quick response!@@dcmotive
Nice job… would love to have you make all aluminum parts for me…
Only problem is that also requires going to screw drives on the X and Y axis, so its not totally plug and play.
@@dcmotive that’s not a problem
Have you started selling the parts yet!
@@hottamaleboy1198 Im messing around with a version that mounts the Y axis gantry on a 2x3 instead of a 2x2 to see how much rigidity is gained. Im curious to see if it could extend 48" with a few tweaks.
Looks like a copy of JD garage cnc build?
Copy? The first couple videos talk about buying their plans. Great plans! But I didnt want plastic. So... a copy with different dimensions, and different materials, and a different controller, different software, different plasma cutter, different frame layout, different drive method, also welded and not bolted. Uh, it does share the same water pan and some of the motors.
LOL!! @dcmotive response to "copy". I purchased the JD's Garage version last month. I am 3D printing parts now. I would rather your version. How does one obtain it? I went to your site, but saw no related products for sale except the controller. I assume your plan to make available has not changed, so there must still be bug extermination going on. Any updates on availability?
No bugs. Works good. I was changing the design to make it simpler, use less materials and perhaps be more rigid, and use a steel tube instead of aluminum. Stainless steel tube would be the ultimate, but the price gets ugly. @@carlmoses1956
@dcmotive I'd like to see your system when it is ready. If you are keeping a list of interested potential customers, please put me on it. I can provide an email if required. I wait a bit to see how your product development goes & postpone the JD's Garage system for now. Thanks
