Linear bearings

A project log for CNC desktop laser/dremel mill/microscope

The aim of this project is to make a desktop cnc machine with at least A3 working area (420x297 mm), Z < 100mm with sub 300 EUR budget.

16mm linear bearings arrived at last. That should be all the mechanical components from China which I needed for the frame assembly. What I am at the moment chronically short of is free time. Progress is kind of slow if I can spare less than few hours per week for the time being on this project. I have not forgotten about this DIY cnc dream of mine and expect to be able to finish it, just not as fast as I initially hoped to. If any of you want the drawings before I get around to doing the prototype physically feel free to send me a message and I'll upload them somewhere. Current plan is to upload the drawings somewhere once I have made the first prototype and made sure that all that looks ok on digital canvas does so also in the harsh reality which can be a bit less forgiving than ones imagination ;)
