Nice Caddy Tote Organizer

Posted on September 20, 2019 by robertwilkie

I haven’t found too many CNC based projects out there that are free. But this one seems like a nice build. Too bad its build for tools, I would like to see it adapted for soda/beer holder. https://cutrocket.com/p/5adf9542c9d81/

One Odd CNC

Posted on September 17, 2019 by robertwilkie

The author build a CNC to cut on large, long, pipes. Cool build, not so sure I would make one…well why I would…maybe for custom totem poles? The author does it for making some interesting seats.

The article talks about how one person makes 3D printed molds to put molted glass in for projects. Interesting article but the meat is in the link below that: http://amosdudley.com/weblog/Casting-Glass-from-3D-Printed-Molds

Another simple 3D printed plotter CNC

Posted on August 21, 2019 by robertwilkie

This is like the CDROM based CNC’s but…its all 3D printed and is using servos instead of steppers. Its using the ESP for a controller and seems to be doing a pretty good job of it. https://www.instructables.com/id/Tracey-Drawing-Machine/
