CNC Mini Lathe

3D Printable and Laser Cut CNC Mini-Lathe

Similar projects worth following
The aim is to design a CNC mini lathe which can be constructed from 3D printed parts, parts cut on a 300x500mm CO2 laser, and off the shelf drive components. One could technically buy a cheap 3D printer with 8mm linear rails then use it to print a lathe frame. Then convert the 3D printer to a lathe. My end goal is to be able to lathe magic wands. And probably lots of other stuff.

I guess I should note that I have 3D printed and assembled most of the structures in the images plus a working 3 jaw chuck from Thingiverse.  The toolpost is the primary major component to be finished. Much work has been done on the toolpost design but no physical parts have been made.

Pardon the lack of progress.  My health has limited by ability to work on this. However, progress was made. Once I am feeling a bit better I will upload some more photos.
