Description

Hollow CNC - Mostly Printed CNC inspired by Dremel CNC

It was an attempt to improve rigidity for Dremel CNC by doing following:

  • adding additional 12mm rods to Y axis,
  • moving spindle as close to X axis as possible to reduce lever arm,
  • making orifices in parts (therefore "hollow" :) ) to increase number of walls in 3d printed parts and make them more rigid.

Rough list of hardware used:

  • 12mm steel rods with linear bearings for Y axis,
  • 12mm steel rods with linear bearings for X axis,
  • 12mm and 8mm steel rods with linear bearings for Z axis,
  • 4xT8 rods with rigid motor couplers,
  • 4 NEMA17 stepper motors,
  • 3 microswitches as endstops,
  • Arduino with CNC Shield to control the motion,
  • ATX power supply to power controller and stepper motors,
  • spindle controlled by external power supply,
  • acrylic or other sheet to keep dust/chips from Y rods,
  • various M3, M5 bolts mostly screwed directly into plastic parts.
