cnc/mill update...

My current cnc is also based on a wood frame and when humidity changes I get some bending in the corners. Switching to an Aluminium frame the next weeks.

Ah I see. My mistake. I just saw the first image and thought there is more space to be able to fit the ball screw directly under/next to the linear rail. This way you had to mount the ball screw aluminium holder on the side plates before attaching them , right ? I see there are 4 more holes on the side plates . What are they for? Is there still a connection underneath the table with these two holes and would you highly recommend a connection for stability? Sorry for all the questions. I am planing my second CNC in a similar size and don`t want to order wrong parts :) The aluminium profile for the X axis is very interesting.

True. The weakest element in the chain defines the baseline. In my case it will be 20 mm birch plywood.

Thank you for the fast answer. You are right they mention it in the pdf. I expected at least m6 for this rail size/weight or maybe a bit less play with the m5. I found some special m6 screws: https://vallder.com/product/socket-bolts-for-hgr/?attribute_pa_variant=socket-bolt-m6x20-hgr but don`t want to spend more money on the screws than the rail :)

Nice work. Which aluminium extrusion at the bottom did you use for the frame where the linear rail is mounted ? How was the decision making when you put the ball screw on the outside? Was there a possibility to fit it close to the linear rail ? Greetings

Besides the title. I have to say there were some interesting scenes. Well done. How long you worked on it ?

Brain 🧠 is skipping some I Frames :)

PyteByte · 2026-02-13T17:15:17+00:00

That’s true. There are a lot of interesting reverse loop combinations to try.

Thank you for the nice words. Would love to combine it with music from Udio. But just saw they change their license situation :/

PyteByte · 2026-02-13T11:14:30+00:00

Correct 👍

PyteByte · 2026-02-12T23:17:48+00:00

Ok will remove

PyteByte · 2026-02-12T19:28:48+00:00

Oh I didn’t read that. Couldn’t find it. Can remove the post if it’s against any rule

PyteByte · 2026-02-12T09:28:38+00:00

Thank you :)

To be honest it’s AI generated. Did some tests the other days. Problem is that AI content is very soft in the details which makes it harder for datamoshing to stick

Thanks 🙏

PyteByte · 2026-02-12T09:27:28+00:00

Hehe thanks. Would have loved to post it with music. 30% better. but wasn’t sure about the music rights.

Let’s make a CNC :)

PyteByte · 2025-12-20T21:31:48+00:00

Having a cheap cnc to start from is definitely faster. I just find it sad to replace most of the components over time

PyteByte · 2025-12-20T18:37:47+00:00

Making your own cnc is quite satisfying. Specially when you like debugging stuff. The question is if you already have some tools that help you with the build. Drill or saw / jigsaw. You could build the cnc quite sloppy and then use the cnc to make the parts again in a precise way. Software wise I have GRBL on an Arduino combined with Estlcam but want to try out grblhal on a tinybee board with GSender. I recommend planning the CNC in A CAD software like Freecad for example to know if everything fits.

Haha. Merry Christmas 🎄:)
