There’s nothing more greater feeling than to owning your own CNC machine for your prototyping needs. But CNC machines can be super expensive for a school/college student as i am, the only next best option is for you to make your own CNC machine with recycled part like stepper motors from old industrial Xerox printers and using simple rotary bearings as the axis sliding mechanism. Here I have done exactly that. I got the inspiration from the popular CNC company called X-carve from inventables.

my cnc took few months to build it.
its way cheaper than X-Carve.
the whole build cost around $170
any doubt about the building process comment down below.

to see the CNC building process watch the part 1

to see the CNC in action watch the part 2

to see how i gave new life to old phone with cnc. watch this

to see the CNC dust collection enclosure

If someone want more information about this CNC build, i have written a report and logbook for the whole build process. As this was my University final year project, lot of work into this.

If someone wants it, all you have to pay 2$ and i will sent you.

Hope i am not asking much.

This way you will help me grow my channel.....

The only thing you’re missing is a dust collector mount on the Spindle, then it’l make post processing of the chamber little to nothing. Nice build!

[preciousplasticph]

FYI, if you do not have cable chain, flexible plastic conduit works well too

[EddyFlexy]

Are you doing this out of your closet? your setup looks like it makes a huge mess half way through each cut.... you ever consider maybe a vacuum as its cutting?

Great job with that CNC machine, It is an awesome job and may took you several hours to build it! I recently subsribed to your channel and all of the content it's quite usefull and very creative!

Well, dust extraction seems like the next upgrade :D

[dailyHuste]

if you add a lubrication unit you can cut through metal and glass right? anyway good CNC machine hoping more from you soon

[lezbriddon]

this is a fantastic build, what software are you running on it?

and you Z axis or the makita is about 1 degree you can see by the undulations in the bed where it has levelled it

i hope my build will be as good as this.
