The whole thing is done with opensource hardware and software too. Two things mentioned that I haven’t tried before are jscut.org, which can be used to convert SVG to gcode. And cncjs, which is a CAM like software for controlling a mill using Grbl, which seems a little dated, but still worth a look.

Nice build for a small Trebuchet you can make with kids. The author includes the SVG file you can use for laser cutting out the parts, or convert to a standard CNC.
Nice light build, me…I will just buy one, its about $25 in parts to build this, you can get a decent one for $20, may not be as bright thought.

This has to be the nices looking one of these mini CNC’s made from CDROM motors I have seen yet. Actually the build doesn’t re-use steppers from CDROMs, but it getting them direct from the net with the case. Kindof cheaping.

Nice build. If you can afford the bigger Kreg Jig, this is a nice add on for it.

Nice idea, but…alot of work. Me…I am torn on this one on buying one vs making my own.
I like this build. I have seen some where they are just an extension to the miter, which hasn’t worked out as well as I would like. And my “big” sled is hard to move around. So this could be a nice alternative build.

Nice write up to use the site festi.info to generate patterns to CNC out boxes with.

Nice build. The author used plywood backing and difference sized PVC pipe parts for the LED cones. Not so sure I would go as far as using an addressable LED’s thought for the build (expensive)

Nice build for a bridal veil using EL wire. The wire is pretty nice to use and bright, but…the power supply for them typically have a humm to it.
