What about a CNC router This page will be used to display my CNC router activities. CNC! Router! Is that fun?. Well, it's not 3D printing and therefore you have to think a little differently. But, if you get it... It's really fun to make things very precise with a CNC router. But then you also need to have such a machine and the choice is very large. From building it yourself, which is what I initially planned, to whatever you wish in size and price. The 3018 CNC Pro max from Annoytools - Lunyee has become my choice because you can't build something like that yourself for that kind of money. View Review with video. View X Y Z. View Software!? View Rainbot arm-design. 04/2024. The router 3018 CNC Pro Max Router. After thinking, considering and thinking even more, I decided to take the step. After all, I have been planning to make a CNC router myself for a long time, but time and money have often held me back. As a result, many ideas often remain on the shelf for longer or are forgotten. The 3018 Pro Max CNC router from Annoytools is the solution for anyone who would like to make something like this themselves because what you get with this machine is almost impossible to do yourself. So I am extremely satisfied with what I have achieved with this machine, even for the first time. Your browser does not support HTML video. Review for the 3018 CNC Pro Max router. After watching a lot of videos, usually where people try out small things, I thought I would take a bigger approach. And why not something that will benefit me if it works!? I immediately tried designing the Rainbot-01 arm for the first time because it already contained two different things (a cut and and something like a pocket!) The various holes also had to line up exactly. side note about the video: It turns out that the plastic used is a bit warped and there is also double-sided tape underneath!? That is of course asking for problems on the Z axis. However, what turned out not to be completely cut was only a tenth of a millimeter, which broke off very easily. 04/2024. What is CNC and CAD and cartesian and ... Cartesian coordinate system. In geometry, a Cartesian coordinate system in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of real numbers called coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, called coordinate lines, coordinate axes or just axes of the system. The point where they meet is called the origin and has as coordinates. (from Wikipedia) CAD software. CAD stands for: Computer-aided design and it is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. The terms computer-aided drafting (CAD) and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) are also used. (from Wikipedia) CNC techniek. CNC stands for: computer numerical control and is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. It is used to operate tools such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers and 3D printers. CNC transforms a piece of material (metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, stone, or composite) into a specified shape by following coded programmed instructions and without a manual operator directly controlling the machining operation. (from Wikipedia) And that's where the fun begins. Because there is nothing more fun than sitting for days designing to bring your idea to 'life'. more names!?. G-code (also RS-274) is the most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) and 3D printing programming language. It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools, as well as for 3D-printer slicer applications. The G stands for geometry. GRBL is a software that runs on various microcontrollers to control the motion of CNC machines. Grbl is a high performance, low cost alternative to parallel-port-based motion control for CNC milling. It runs on a vanilla Arduino and accepts standards-compliant g-code, with features such as acceleration management, homing, spindle control, and more. 04/2024. Software to make and use hardware!? Inkscape. Inkscape is a professional vector graphics editor that lets you draw freely and create stunning artworks that works on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. FreeCAD. FreeCAD is a multiplatform (Windows, Mac and Linux), highly customizable and extensible software. Blender. Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, and much more. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. Candle. Candle is a free, open source CNC machine control software. It's a GRBL controller application with G-Code visualizer. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. gSender. gSender Easy CNC control. It's free, open source CNC machine control software.It works on Windows, Mac and Raspberry Pi computers. (Raspberry - Linux ? Uhm) 04/2024. Rainbot01 arm01 design01 The first cut. Some time ago I made a mini robot called Baribot. It's about time to take those techniques a step higher with a new bot, Rainbot-01. And then I'll start with one arm. I don't think it is that difficult if I can make two straight pieces with the holes for the servo motors. In Inkscape you can neatly customize the shape with all the desired holes and convert it to gcode with the right Toolpaths. We use that gcode to tell the machine what to do in Candle. In Candle it is important to set all axes before you can send the gcode to the machine. The result. For someone who has never done this before, I am very pleased with the result. The end result is exactly sized so that the 'arm' is easy to assemble. Good tools are half the battle. The other half, well, that depends entirely on the efforts of the user.
