![]() | Make a Laser Etching PCB CNC
We have featured quite a few DIY CNC Plotters, but when it comes to etching precision printed circuit boards, this DIYer things lasers are the way to go. RepRap (Replicating Rapid Prototypes) are open source 3d printers which can replicate their... |
![]() | Arduino Powered, Chess Playing Robot
Arduino DIY-ers have built another superb project. This chess board looks like any chess board except the chess pieces are metallic and moved by a magnet below the board controlled by a robotic arm. The microcontroller controls stepper motors and... |
![]() | Superb Open Source CNC Laser Cutter
The Open Source movement sets another fine example with this superb 2-axis laser cutting/engraving station. This is version 2.0 which has a more compact size measuring 12” x 20” x 4”. The DIY laser cutter/engraver has a manual vertical axis... |
![]() | DIY 3-Axis CNC Milling Machine for Under $100
We have featured a few DIY low cost milling machines before and here's another superb one to add to our collection. With DIY CNC milling machine projects, the trade off is between cost of fabrication and the precision with which it operates. So,... |
![]() | Build a DIY 3-Axis CNC Mill
A precision plotting and cutting instrument like a CNC machine is a dream for any DIYer. It's perfect for any fabrication jobs - For example, you can etch a plaque or make a PCB by cuting along the traces of a schematic. While a store bought CNC... |
![]() | How to Make a Low Cost CNC Table using Servos
The purpose of this machine is to control movement on X and Y axis using servos and keeping a low hobbyist budget. Applications for this type of movement control is commonly used for things from CNC milling to robotic whiteboards. ... |
