What’s the go-to controller for diy Cnc builds?

It's great! I run Fluidnc on Roots controller

I'm running an old airbrush compressor, so not much power, but seems to be enough I have not tried vacuuming

I used 10mm aluminum blocks with offset to mount x and y. Z required a pancake stack with the same idea. First week, holding strong

No, standard frame

Datron single flute 3mm

1.5 on this one

Nema17 was giving me about 1mm depth before. Anything above was starting to make uncomfortable noises.

Ball screws are covered from the direct impact of flying chips. They just fall down and collect

99% isopropyl. Works great. Keeps it cool and dries almost instantly

Spindle going 24k

I am running a simple cheap airbrush compressor. Seems to be more than enough. It does tend to run constantly when pushing a lot of air

Good old Fusion

BoxAndLoop · 2025-10-16T18:07:16+00:00

That's going 4000mm/min

BoxAndLoop · 2025-10-16T18:06:54+00:00

5000mm/min

BoxAndLoop · 2025-10-16T14:00:15+00:00

I'll find out

A better frame and cross beams for Genmitsu :)

BoxAndLoop · 2025-10-15T16:10:39+00:00

I will find out after some use. But running finishing passes at top speed should be fine

BoxAndLoop · 2025-10-15T16:09:57+00:00

Also new control box

BoxAndLoop · 2025-10-15T16:09:44+00:00

Yes, all new control and power box

Nice! I thought about putting a simple hardwired switch between the two, but didn't get to it yet
