I've watched a ton of CNC router videos, going back a decade or more. I've built several, most recently a CNC quilting machine that works pretty much just the same, and I have most of the parts to build this one. I just wanted to say you've made the clearest video on this subject I've ever seen. It's just excellent. Thank you so much for making this and sharing it.
This is a great video! Very clear and easy to understand. I've purchased the schematics bundle and look forward to building it. Could you please provide the parts list in a downloadable format? Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I am working on an upgrade, so I will make new parts list for both the old and new versions. Look out for a new video in the next week or two along with the new lists.
Funny Amazon description for Gantry Plates. [PREMIUM MATERIAL] Made of premium 5052 stainless steel, the aluminum plates has medium to high strength, good corrosion resistance and moisture resistance. Star Trek introduced the world to transparent aluminum.
@@mariomanus3176G-sender is only the CNC control software. You would have to generate the gecode from a height map in something like Lightburn, Fusion 360, or Vectric Vcarve.
Yes. I will probably upgrade it soon to make it a little wider. Rigidity is the most important, so as you get bigger you really need things stiff. So, it gets a bit more expensive the larger you go. Someday I hope to build a giant on that can take a full sheet of plywood.
Great video,I will build one similar to yours. I have questions. why the power supply is 36V instead of 24V? What is the ampere for the 36V power supply
Thank you so much. I decide to do this project. However I have some issues with finding this model of stepper motor. Is there any alternative stepper motor?

Could I pick your brain?
@@sakibislam3986 Sure!
I LOVE this design. I may actually build this. Thanks for the detail and BOM! Looking forward to the next video!
I'm hoping to have part II out in the week or two. Thanks for watching!
Me too, the single linear motors on each axis a design win!!
I used UGS for quite some time, decided to ditch it in favor of cncjs, it just works so much nicer.
I'll have to try it out. Thanks for watching!

Excellent run through, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations with this excellent video , just subcribed and looking forward to the rest of the content on this channel!
Awesome, thank you!
Great tutorial, glad the algo bestowed it upon me
You and me both!

LOL, didn't see that. 5052 is definitely aluminum and not stainless.
This is so dam cool! Thank you for sharing!!! :D
Glad you liked it!
Very interesting. Thank you for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I used UGS for a while. Now I use G-sender
I'll have to look into that as well. Thanks for watching!
Does G-sender have height map? That's my problem with UGS specially when making PCBs. Although finding it easier to use when machining parts.

looks great!
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
What cable do I need for the Z axis motor? It's a 6 pin terminal. JST? and cut the cable on the stepper motor side?
Yes, 6 pin terminal but only 4 wires. I stole mine from an old 3D printer.
Really sweet, cheers from the new follow
Thanks and welcome!
awesome video. could you have made a bigger table, or is something with the hardware/software limiting the size?
Yes. I will probably upgrade it soon to make it a little wider. Rigidity is the most important, so as you get bigger you really need things stiff. So, it gets a bit more expensive the larger you go. Someday I hope to build a giant on that can take a full sheet of plywood.
Great video,I will build one similar to yours.
I have questions. why the power supply is 36V instead of 24V? What is the ampere for the 36V power supply
36V allows the stepper motors to turn faster. Just make sure that your stepper motor controllers can handle the voltage.
Great project and information! What stepper motors did you use? I don't see it listed in the description
Woops. Sorry about that. NEMA 23 Bipolar Model 23HS22-2804S and bracket model ST-M2 from StepperOnline.
Thank you!
I downloaded the templates. What are the overall dimensions for the gantry wood stop blocks you made?
Sorry about that. One is 2.5" x 3.4". The other 2.5" x 3.2". The drawing is to scale if you print it. Thanks!
@@ScienceFunInnovations Thank you
Thank you so much. I decide to do this project. However I have some issues with finding this model of stepper motor. Is there any alternative stepper motor?
Find a NEMA 23 motor with the right sized output shaft.
Wooow it's a great work, can'I make it bigger with the same code?
Yes. It can be as big as you want. I'm sure version 2 will be bigger. :-)
Wery good Mr. Your lesone I won't lernineg CNC technology plz help me I'm Sri Lanka
Watch both videos and let me know if you have additional questions.
why didnt you use a cnc shield with a4988 driver for the stepper motor?
Those work ok with NEMA 17's, but I am using NEMA 23's which would overheat the a4988. Also, the drivers I am using are pretty inexpensive. Thanks.
For a bigger one could I just link those 1000 mm extrude aluminum rails together?
To go longer you need heavier rails or else they will deflect too much.
Thanks for the tip bradda 🤙🏽
I’ll remember that

What cost 600$?
That was the total cost. Actually I spent $800 on parts, but ended up not using about $200 of the parts.
@@ScienceFunInnovations Very interesting. I build with arduino too, but cost is not even 500 euros. And I use profiles from Germany.
