Re: DIY CNC Router
How's your progress on your CNC ?
My CNC was in the locker room for a few years, now it's back I removed all the electronics, left only the motors. I am using an Arduino MEGA, with a RAMPS 1.4 shield. This is for a 3D printer, but I made a few changes in the code to make it work for my CNC. Instead of the motor drivers that RAMPS 1.4 comes, I connected to more powerful stepper drivers. I am using the "D42" from here: http://www.motiontek.ca/StepperDriver.html , they can give 4.2 Amps to the motors.
I also bought a 1.25 HP router that I plan to mount on my CNC. I will use my 3D printer to make a mount that will fit on my CNC. Now I have to get some End Mill bits.
The reason why I really want to get my CNC to work again is because I want to make a Filament Splicer similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uecY5ikWdCI
The part that joins the filaments needs to heat up, so I have to make it from aluminum.
Anyways... I am curious how your CNC is going
